The part of the day most photographers dread, and exactly how to stop dreading it.

Group portraits are the one moment on a wedding day where every guest turns to look at you, waiting (if they're actually where they need to be...)

No amount of experience fully takes the edge off, but the right system makes it straightforward, fast, and actually enjoyable.


This is a 2.5-hour video masterclass, with case studies from real weddings, covering every aspect of group portraits:

• How to plan with your couple before the day

• How to manage expectations and limit the number of photos

• How to choose the right location and light for the situation

• How to direct large groups confidently on the wedding day

• How to deliver beautiful, consistent images in the edit.

Over 150 weddings, we turned this from the part of the day we dreaded most into just another task we knew how to handle. This course is that system.

You already know how to photograph a wedding, but the Group Photos still make you anxious.

Group portraits are different from every other part of the day. The light is rarely ideal. The schedule is tight. There are people everywhere, half of them with a drink in hand, and none of them particularly excited to stand still.


Most wedding photographers never really solve this part of the day. They get through it, year after year, carrying the same low-level dread, even after five or ten years of experience.

If any of these feel familiar, this course is for you:

  • You feel a spike of anxiety when you think about the group photo portion of a wedding day.
  • You lose more time than you'd like wrangling guests and working through the list.
  • You're not fully confident with flash in difficult lighting situations.
  • You leave the group portraits section of a wedding feeling like you could have handled it better.
  • You want to feel genuinely confident rather than just getting through it.


This course works whether you're just starting out or you've been shooting weddings for years. Group portrait anxiety is one of the most common things photographers carry with them, at every level.

We used to dread the group shots, until we developed a fool proof approach that helps us create timeless portraits on every wedding in half the time, and without the stress.

Inside this course we'll walk you through the preparation we do before the day with our couple that saves so much time on the day, as well as our approach on the wedding day itself that makes everything run so much smoother.

Yes. Everything in this course is taught with a solo shooter in mind as much as a second shooter.

Inside the course you'll learn our full approach to capturing timeless group photos for our clients, from planning, building the list, choosing locations, using natural light, using flash, positioning and directing subjects, and finally editing.

The course is comprised of video lessons, image examples and case studies and screen recorded footage inside Lightroom (editing lesson).

Hi, We're Zach & Grace

Editorial Wedding Photographers & Coaches

We've been photographing weddings for over a decade, working across the UK, Europe, and beyond.


Group portraits used to be the part of the wedding day we genuinely dreaded. Over the course of 150+ weddings we figured out what actually works - how to prepare properly, how to move through the list efficiently, and how to stay calm when things don't go to plan.


Through our courses and The Editorial Wedding Photographer community, we've helped hundreds of photographers build more confident, sustainable wedding photography businesses. Everything we teach is drawn directly from our own experience in the field — not theory.
