Generally, the wedding photographer wants to largely blend into the background. However, there will be opportunities to take family photos, wedding party photos, and more. You might receive a shot list in advance that will include desired group photos, and you might get a group photo request during the event, itself. Consider how you plan to incorporate planned and unplanned group photos over the course of the event, the timeliness of your photos (guests tend to prefer photos prior to eating and drinking much), and how you verify that all relevant people are present. You might also consider fun ways to engage the crowd and have fun. The better planned you are in advance, the more prepared you appear to conduct group photos well and in a timely manner.
