Family Photos!
You have everyone in your family here from all over for the first time in what feels like or could be forever! We want to document it well and make sure you get every shot you want for the scrapbooks and grandkids some day. Here are a few questions that can help narrow down what you are looking for:
- Which photos will you likely frame and want to see in your wedding album?
- Which groupings are truly important to you, not simply expected by others?
- Will you be disappointed if a group isn’t on the list?
- How much time are you willing to set aside for family photos?
- What’s more important to you: taking lots of family photos or getting to spend time with your friends and family at your reception?
Once you figure out who you want photos of I like for couple to list them out on the Google Doc I will send you with your timeline !
A Family Photo List Example:
Brides Side:
- B+G Extended Johnson side (Moms Extended)
- B+G Extended Smiths side (Dads Extended)
- B+G Mom, Dad, Siblings, Grandparents (Laurie, John, Alex, Stephanie, Micah, Bob, Linda)
- B+G Grandparents (Bob, Linda)
- B+G Mom, Dad (Laurie, John)
- B+G Siblings (Alex, Stephanie, Micah)
*Repeat for the Grooms side
The goal is to make this process as efficient as possible to get you to some of your cocktail hour and more time for you to enjoy talking and hanging out on your wedding day! I always like to do the large extended family first (If you want that) and then Grandparents and then immediate family. This is what I have found to be the easiest way to get this done the fastest!
