Group Photos that don't suck

I've gotten a few inquiries about group photos recently, so I thought I'd pull a few faves and share them with you. On my INFO page, there is a question/answer part:

Q:   DO YOU SHOOT THE FAMILY GROUP PHOTOS THAT WE NEED?
A:   Yes, of course!! I just don’t feature those on my site because you’ve seen them before. Email me and I'll be happy to send over a few samples. We take the necessary time to capture the formal family portraits that you desire, but please keep in mind that they take time. If your checklist of photos is long, that can add up to a lot of time taken away from the festivities. We will work together in advance to create your list of requested photos so that you get the shots you want while still having plenty of time to eat, drink, and be married! 

I feel that shot lists can get excessive. My philosophy is get the basics/essentials and get on with the party. That said, here are a few favorites that aren't stiff & formal. Just because they're posed, doesn't mean that they have to look posed :)
