Outdoor Groom & Groomsmen Photos – Valet Driveway
In this scene we take our wedding party to the valet, a busy, bustling area for the SLS hotel. We asked for permission prior to shooting in this location since cars are going in and out of the driveway, making it a hindrance for both us and hotel management.
Getting candid reactions can be directed – have one of the groomsmen or even the best man recount a funny story that embarrasses the groom. It is bound to produce a natural reaction and it automatically portrays intimacy within the group. Don’t just use burst mode and hope that you got a shot, refocus on each shot and watch for the right expression.

Can I ask why you take many of these shots at f1.4, wouldn’t you want to take the shot at a higher aperture to ensure more of the subjects are in focus? The rest of the shots indoors I can see the requirement to shoot at this aperture to ensure your subject is separated and the need for a wider aperture in lower light. For this shot I would imagine taking it at f3.5- f4. I understand they are all on the same focal plane however at 1.4 the focus drop off will will be quite large. Would love to hear your advice on this. Loving these tutorials so far!
