Family portraits don’t have to feel stressful (or take forever)!
One of the biggest reasons this portion of the day runs smoothly is preparation. Anywhere from one to three months before your wedding, I work with you to create an organized family photo list so we know exactly who is needed for each photograph.
The biggest favor you can do is communicate that plan with your family before the wedding day. When everyone knows where they need to be and when, we can move quickly and efficiently, giving you more time to celebrate.
I’ll be there to direct the entire process, keep everyone on schedule, and make sure nothing gets missed. You simply get to enjoy being surrounded by the people you love most.
