Wedding parties are some of my favorite groups to photograph… and I enjoy creating unique ways to photograph them (as you can see in the pictures below).

Here we have our classic “Back Street Boys” shot

Don’t worry, I don’t typically have our bridal parties climb trees, but this tree was just begging to be climbed and I don’t think I could have talked the groomsmen out of climbing it if I tried! Boys will be boys!

Can you tell I had to beg these groomsmen to bring their beers and cigarettes into this shot? The “Bad boy” or “Too cool for wedding photos” shot just doesn’t look the same without them.  Of course dark sunglasses can always be used to complete the look.
