Let’s get started!

First, I will gather the names of all immediate family members on both sides, all extended family, and your bridal party - everyone that you would like formal portraits with.

Then, we will build the specific groupings for each portrait combination you would like!

Once we have each list of names and groupings, we will create your formal portrait shot list that flows seamlessly into your day with ease!

Family Formal Portrait Groupings

Below are your family grouping forms for you to fill in with the different combos you would like for your formal family pictures. Each section has ten slots for your group photo combinations, with extra space if needed. Formal portraits of family and wedding party may occur before (or after) the ceremony depending on your preference!

We begin with the Bride’s immediate family…

Please kindly fill out this form to the fullest to ensure family portraits run smoothly :)

Please include first and last name & their relationship to you. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out via email or text! It’s normal for this part of the process to take time to iron out and get 100% correct :)

Then, with the Groom’s immediate family…
