There is a lot that goes into your wedding planning, from picking the perfect venue to your seating chart and everything in-between. As it gets closer and closer to your wedding date you can get stressed out about all the things that are left to do. To make one task a little less daunting, here is a sample family portrait list. These are all the standard groupings that I suggest to each of my couples. You can add and subtract groupings to make the list perfect for you, your fiancé, and your families but this will give you a starting point. One thing to keep in mind though is the more groupings you have, the longer your portraits will take. To give you an example, 15 groupings will take around 30 minutes to photograph.
