Stay tuned….weddings in Sonoma and Livermore California this weekend. Weather should be beautiful. Will update with photos from each. Possible engagement session in San Francisco while I am in town for one of my Texas clients who are getting married in December.
For those unaware, I am looking into doing more work in the San Francisco Bay Area, so if you know of someone needing an excellent wedding photographer, send them to my website www.mhphotographyhouston.com.

How much time you designate on your wedding day for portraits should be a direct reflection as to your expectation on how many photographs you would like. The more groupings you have and the number in each, will greatly affect how much time it will take to get everyone posed. If you have a “shot list”, designate someone (who won’t be in many of the portraits) to gather people and make sure everyone is present. I am not going to know who your Aunt Sue is. So when we call for the aunts and uncles shot (just as an example), I won’t know if she is missing or not.
Even brides that don’t necessarily want posed pictures, still request formal photos of themselves, bridal party, and parents & grandparents at minimum. You might not like posed photos all that much, but your parents & grandparents will. Take this into consideration, especially if they are footing the bill.
If you stay in one location for photos, and have one grouping/posing each you should plan for about 30 minutes. That is, unless you have 16 bridesmaid and 16 groomsman like a wedding I did recently (if that’s the case, you will need a lot more time). It can go a lot faster than this if everyone you want for pictures is already available and waiting for their turn.
Now the truth of the matter is…there is no magic formula to say….x number of images with this many people take x amount of time. Every photographer is different in the time they take & it relates back to their style.

Saturday evening Holly and I photographed Kendrick and Vanity’s wedding. It was truly a unique experience. I would love to share some pics, but you will have to wait a little while. There are no pictures attach at this time, check back in 4 weeks.

The ceremony and reception were held at the Club at Carlton Woods in The Woodlands. This was my first wedding there. The staff was fabulous & the venue was very elegant. Definitely one of nicest venues I have shot at. I look forward to going back!
The bride’s gown was from Priscilla of Boston . Baby blue heels by Gucci.

The bride rode into the ceremony in on a horse drawn carriage with her father. It was the biggest wedding party I have ever photographed….17 bridesmaids and 17 groomsman.
The reception was decorated beautifully with linens provided by The Linen House. Jan Cancila, President of The Linen House, runs the column Houston Bridal Scene Examiner
Both the Boston Globe and Boston Herald published a couple of my photos from the wedding on Tuesday.
