When you list the moments in a wedding day that inspire and recharge your creativity as a wedding photographer, I’m guessing that group shots aren’t very high up on that list. Creative group shots are hard to do with so many people and a limited amount of time, but before you grab your bride and groom for couple portraits, take a few minutes to really create something special for the couple and their wedding party! Whether the group is big, small, or filled with furry creatures, there are many ways to document those celebratory moments between your couple’s closest friends and family.

This month, we asked our Photobug Community Facebook group to join in our #themorethemerrier challenge. Tons of great work was shared, and it was fun to put couple portraits aside for a few days and celebrate another element of the wedding day! We hope this snippet of the group’s favorite images will help to inspire you to push the envelope when it comes to capturing group photos. Enjoy!
