A few weeks back we published a collection of alternative and creative wedding group portraits that were totally out-of-the-box, so today we're taking it back to the basics and showcasing beautiful, elegant, classically composed groups shots. The ones that way-back-when were often staid and stuffy, but that today's top photographers like GH Kim Photography, Eric Uys Photography, J. Garner Studios, Ryan Brenizer Photography, Jared Wilson Photography, Kenny Nakai Photography, Alison Conklin Photography, Melissa Jill Photography and Ryan Ray Photography imbue with modern energy and dynamic style through skilled lighting, posing and artistic techniques. These aren't your mother's group shots, but they will be cherished as heirlooms forever.
