Having a set list of family groupings for the “formal” photos part of the wedding day helps keep things organized and moving right along. Here are some basic family grouping ideas you can add or subtract from to suit your needs. Keep in mind each grouping can take 3-5 minutes+ to organize. When you have your list ready, just shoot it to me in an email!

*Important * Please make sure each family member listed is notified of the time and place we’re taking pictures…we don’t want to waste any precious time tracking down Aunt Sharon last minute! ;)
