    I'd like your opinions ladies.

    After the ceromony but before the wedding breakfast, how long do we need to allow for photos?

    We are having quite a small wedding, fifty guests. I am planning on having group shots with the following before the ceromony:

    Me, mam and brother
    Me and dad
    Me and bms
    Me and chief bm
    Sil and bms
    Me and sil and bms

    However, our current schedule is for the champagne and cAnapes to last about an hour and a quarter, I thought that any more might be too long. Other than h2bs family, I'd have got a lot of the group shots before, so there'd just be couple shots and a few more group shots and one of everybody which I will probably do first...

    Is this enough time! I'd kinda like to have some time for mingling and drinking champagne too!!!

    Any thoughts or opinions welcome! I'm useless at photography, and my photographer is away photographing lions in Africa until Christmas, and I really want to think about timing! Xx

    I'm also having 50 guests and our photographer said that he will need anything from 45 minutes to an hour and a half to do our photographs, he has however also said if we get sick of posing and stuff after the 45 minutes he will just do some 'in the moment' shots the rest of the day and we can go and relax with our friends and family. I hope this helps a bit. x

    Thanks ladies! Thats a good idea tatty, I think I will suggest that...I often prefer the 'of the moment shots' too...tbh, I only want the formal shots as I know that the family would really like some, which is fair enough, but I do love the reportage style
