In the midst of all the wedding planning, creating a shot list for your family photos is often overlooked. Usually these photos happen before or after the ceremony and run on a tight timeline. (It always takes more time than you think to find your Uncle Mark or fix the flower girls dress or have grandma walk up to the altar.) With just a little extra planning ahead, you can make this process smooth and efficient with this ultimate wedding group picture list.
When you share this list with your photographer, include the names of the individuals in addition to their titles/roles, so your wedding coordinator (or the photographers) can cue the next group of people and easily track individuals needed!
Pro Tip: Communicate to your family members beforehand that there will be a group photo. Give them the location and time to arrive.
