Let’s get started!

First, I will gather the names of all immediate & extended family members on both sides—everyone that you would like formal portraits with!

Then, we will build the specific groupings for each portrait combination you would like taken both before and after your ceremony.

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!

Please fill in the slots below with the different group combinations you would like for your formal family pictures happening before your ceremony.

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 your ceremony depending on your specific wedding timeline!
