Every single guest, one photograph — the full crowd of Katherine and Scott's wedding gathered at the Grand Ballroom entrance of the Redhurst Hotel. The everyone-shot takes organisation: I use the widest-angle lens for shots like this to get everybody in. Sometimes it distorts around the edges. That's why getting everyone tightly together makes the image stand out from the crowd. I get the couple in place, call the room out everyone together arrange fast make sure Uncle and Auntie aren't at the bar, and shoot before the smiles go stiff — five to ten minutes, done, back to the drinks. In thirty years this frame will be priceless: every person who came, together, once. My advice to every couple: put the big group photo on your must-have list and trust your photographer to make it quick. Planning a wedding at the Redhurst Hotel in Giffnock? Get in touch — I'll have the crowd sorted before they've finished their fizz.
