How to Conquer Family Photos in Record Time!

Step 1: Schedule your immediate family photos for prior to the wedding ceremony (allow 20 minutes)

• This includes the following people:

  • Bride's parents

  • Groom's parents

  • All siblings of the couple

These are some of the most important family photos and it is great to get these out of the way prior to the ceremony because:

• You will have more time to get all the combinations you want (just the bride and her sisters - YESS QUEEN!)

• This is a small enough group of people that you can count on them being there ON TIME!

Step 2: Skip the receiving line and go straight to photos at the altar or arch of your wedding!

• Make sure the officiant announces over the microphone for ALL family members of the couple to stay in the ceremony area (this is CRUCIAL)

• Do the group photos and individuals with little kids first

• Do the group photos and individuals with grandparents second

• Do the rest of the extended family photos

Step 3: Make sure you have a dedicated family member who is keeping all the other family members in the area! Ideally one person from each side of the family.

• Helps decrease chaos

• Makes sure someone is tracking down any missing people

If you include all these steps, you can get through all your family photos in 30 minutes - I promise!
