Tips for Family Portraits on your Wedding Day


To ensure your family photos are quick and stress-free on your wedding day, prepare a detailed list of desired groupings in advance and share it with your photographer. Start with the largest groups and work your way down to smaller ones to maintain momentum. Designate a specific location for the photos, ensuring that is both beautiful and practical, and focus on immediate family members to minimize posing time. By following these steps, you'll capture beautiful memories without the stress!



Create a comprehensive list

Collaborate with your photographer to create a comprehensive list of all family groupings you would like,

Prioritize immediate family

Keep the list focused on close family members, such as parents, siblings, and grandparents, to ensure the photo session remains concise.

Start big, work small

Start with the largest family groups and then gradually break down into smaller combinations or individual shots.


Communicate the schedule

Provide your family members with the photo timeline so they know where and when to gather.

Choose a designated spot.

Choose a well-lit, easily accessible location for your photos to reduce the time spent moving between different places.

Practice efficient posing

Talk with your photographer about posing options in advance to streamline the process.


Delegate a family point person

Designate a reliable family member on each side to coordinate the group and make sure everyone is prepared for their photos.

Be flexible and adaptable

If someone is absent or delayed, be ready to modify the photo order as needed.
