If you choose to do a first look before the ceremony, we can set aside about 20-30 minutes for formal group photos before the ceremony. If you choose not to do a first look before the ceremony, we can do the groupings that involve both of you during cocktail hour or reception. Please contact me if in doubt.

We can do this part of group photos during cocktail hour or reception so that they don’t need to arrive early.
