Groom shot or band photo?
Offbeat grooms

While trawling through the Offbeat Bride flickr group, I was struck by how some of the hipper "groom and his men" shots look more like band photos. When are these guys taking it on the road?
And then the question becomes, if these groomsmen were in a band, what would they play?

Woah! That last pic is from Dana's wedding last year, that I assisted at! Awesome wedding, and very offbeat bride.

That settles it. Now I want my picture with my three groomsmen to be done ala 1980ies LA rock scene, complete with spiked bracelets , facepaint and pyrotechnics. I wonder how much pneumatic spinning drum sets rent for…

How's this? I think it's all about the depth of the image. and attitude.

I had to interject – I shot my friend's wedding recently and her husband really wanted to do these reservoir dogs-style shots over and over again despite the rain – boys can be so cute and funny sometimes! He even did a little finger gun in most of the shots

the cool thing is, the second group actually did use their pics that day as band photos: http://www.myspace.com/2013wolves
