Family Photo Preferences
*
The standard family formal photos taken are as follows. Please check the images you would like captured on your wedding day. NOTE: It is very important that you consider time restraints when making your list of formal photographs. Please figure an average of 4 minutes per photo. It is absolutely vital that everyone who needs to be present for these photographs be there when we are ready to begin the session. In order to not waste time looking for missing individuals please make sure to communicate this schedule to those you wish to participate in this session. Also, please have someone on hand who is very familiar with the members of your family to stand by and help organize and find the correct people for family photographs.
If there are divorces in your immediate family, sometimes the boxes above don't fit what you need. Add alternate groupings here.
Being mindful of time constraints, are there any other family groupings you would like taken during this time?
Please also list the full names of the individuals involved in each group.
Bridal Party Preferences
*

If we have NOT already discussed your timeline, now is the time to send me what you have already set in place.
