GROUP PHOTOS
NOT EXACTLY MY THING
Let’s be honest: group photos aren’t my favourite part of a wedding day. They tend to be long, repetitive, and break the flow of the celebration. And 20 years later? They mostly serve to remind us that fashion has changed.
But every now and then, exceptions happen. A killer spot, perfect light, guests who are really into it… and suddenly everything clicks. I go all in, and the result goes way beyond the classic stiff family lineup.
A DEDICATED SPOT: THE KEY TO SUCCESS
It all starts with the right location. You want shade, proximity to the action, enough space but nothing too exposed. Please, no full sun or awkward hillsides.
At this wedding at Domaine Lamartine, I was given the perfect corner: green backdrop, enough room to move around, and a vibe that just worked. We used the exact same place for their couple photos. It was that good.

TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL GROUP PHOTOS
- Keep the list short and essential
- Have a dynamic bridesmaid or groomsman help gather people
- Pick the right moment (not before the ceremony, not in the middle of cocktails)
- Let loose: movement, props, spontaneous ideas – all welcome!
WHEN EVERYTHING FALLS INTO PLACE
Perfect timing, inspiring light, motivated guests… and suddenly the game changes. I shift from observer to conductor. I lead, shoot, and feed off the group’s vibe.
Sure, I’ll always love candid moments most. But when we co-create something full of life and attitude, I’m all in.
THE WEDDING THAT CHANGED MY MIND?
This one. Pure energy, glowing couple, guests totally invested… and group shots that could easily be on an album cover. Total revelation.
