Then, tell them you'll do a countdown - 3, 2, 1, OPEN! - and wait for half a second or so when you say open, and everyone will have their eyes open.
That's what I do! Especially if the wedding is shot outside. Because you never want the sun at the group/person's back they have to be facing the sun. So to keep from getting squinty eyes I do just that. Close your eyes until I say open!
