Family Pictures Checklist Template from a Professional Wedding Photographer

As a wedding photographer, I understand the importance of capturing those cherished family moments on the big day. Here's a helpful checklist to ensure that nothing is missed during the family photo session:

  • Bride + Groom + Groom’s Extended Family

    •  Groom’s Extended Family Dismissed

  • Bride + Groom + Groom’s Parents and Siblings

  • Bride + Groom + Groom’s Siblings

  • Bride + Groom + Groom’s Parents 

  • Groom + Groom’s Siblings 

    •  Groom’s Siblings Dismissed 

  • Groom + Groom’s Parents

  • Groom + Groom’s Mom

  • Groom + Groom’s Dad 

  • Bride + Groom + Groom’s Parents + Bride’s Parent’s

    •  Groom’s Parents Dismissed

  • Bride + Groom + Bride’s Extended Family

    •  Bride’s Extended Family Dismissed

  • Bride + Groom + Bride’s Parents and Siblings

  • Bride + Groom + Bride’s Siblings

  • Bride + Groom + Bride’s Parents 

  • Bride + Bride’s Siblings 

    •  Bride’s Siblings Dismissed

  • Bride + Bride’s Parents

  • Bride + Bride’s Mom

  • Bride + Bride’s Dad 

Pro tip: I always start with the larger group pictures so we can get people moving to cocktail hour as soon as possible.

Remember to communicate with your photographer beforehand about any special requests or family dynamics to ensure a smooth and enjoyable photo session for everyone involved.
