Most of my photography is very spontaneous and un-planned.  So it came at a little bit of a surprise when I decided to begin planning a few shots, working with the bride and groom to create an image.  This usually always comes up when we begin to talk about those "crazy" and "fun" wedding party photos.  Pre-planning that "crazy" shot is a big big part of the creative process, especially when working with a dozen subjects.  A group that big is hardly spontaneous and usually need some specific direction.  I don't know about you, but when all eyes are on me, sun is blaring down and I've got three minute, no make that "WERE LATE!" to create some magic I just go blank.  Robin Rachel and I began looking at and discussing some "fun" ideas prior to the wedding.  When it came to down to creating the shot, (in a hurry) we were all on same page, easy, no stress and FUN! Here is what we came up with, along with a few of my unplanned favs.
