Your family portraits are important on your wedding day. You and your spouse are officially coming together, which means your families come together. It's nice to get a great portrait with your family to celebrate this time, plus your family will love having a photo with you from the wedding! Family portrait lists can seem a bit daunting but they don't have to be! Below are the standard family portrait groupings that I recommend to all of my couples. This will hopefully give you a starting point. One thing to keep in mind is that you won't want to have a TON of different groupings because that can take up a lot of time. On average 15 different groupings will take about 30 minutes.
