You are filling in your Photographers’ questionnaire and you are stuck!! “Who should I include in my family photos?”
Deciding on which family members should be included in the photos can be overwhelming, I totally understand, I went through it too, but don’t stress! Here is your complete guide to taking family photos at your wedding.
VIPs
The first step in deciding, is to focus on your VIPs and work backwards from there. Everyone’s VIPs will vary, but these individuals are usually the ones who raised you and/or they are very special to you.
Divorced or Remarried Parents
Wether your parents get along or cannot stand each other, make sure to arrange photos with your individual families first. The couple should take pictures with each parent and their significant others if applicable.
Be Prepared
Give a list to your photographer of which family members are going to be in each shot.
Let the family members and obviously photographer know when these photos will be taken, before Ceremony or After.
If you are not hiring a planner, delegate a friend to help you with getting everyone in place for the photos.
Here is a list of some wedding day photo inspiration to help you get started!
