A portrait like this is never accidental.
When I approach a group portrait on a wedding day, especially something inspired by that iconic Vanity Fair energy, I’m thinking beyond simply “getting everyone in.”
It starts with the backdrop. A setting like a French château already gives us texture, symmetry, and a sense of quiet grandeur, so the goal is to let it frame the story, not overpower it. Then comes the layering. I guide each person into a place where they feel natural but still connected. Subtle shifts in height, posture, and spacing create depth, while keeping the composition effortlessly balanced.
The couple remains the anchor, with their closest people orbiting them in a way that feels both elevated and completely relaxed. And finally, the energy. I’ll give just enough direction to shape the scene, then step back so real connection can come through.
The result is something polished, but never stiff. Editorial, but still deeply personal. It’s always about finding that line between intention and spontaneity, where everything looks considered, but nothing feels forced.
