Formal Wedding Group Photo List – Every Portrait You Want
We know your wedding is probably going to be the busiest, most exciting, and the one day you would actually remember in your lifetime. As you start planning for your wedding we want to help you out by giving you a starting place for all your family group photos.
Extended Family Portrait list
We recommend limiting formal portraits to small groups of immediate family only and one large group of extended family
- Full extended family on both sides
- Bride’s extended family
- Groom’s extended family
Once the big family pictures are over you can then dismissed them to rest and enjoy the reception — that way you can enjoy some more time with the closer members of your family.
Close Family Photo list

- Bride and Grandmother, with Mother (generations photo) and Daughter(s) if applicable
