It’s best to save the family formals until after the ceremony because all family members will definitely be present at this time. Two months prior to the wedding you’ll receive a questionnaire from me that will ask you to list out the family formals you want me to capture. Remember it takes 2-3 minutes to photograph each grouping, the more groups you add to the list the longer it will take to get it done.

I recommend photographing just the immediate family after the ceremony, we can always capture photos with your extended family during the reception. Below you will find a sample of the list.
