Top 5 Tips on Capturing
Tender Family Wedding Photos
• Make a Plan, Stick to It!
• To get through all the madness, the photographer can arrange a meeting with the bride and
groom, come up with a strategy and decide the entire family photos right then and there. The
best time to take family portraits is right after the ceremony ends. Sticking to the plan is a
must, deviating from the plan could be disastrous.
• Look for a Family Drama and Think of Ways to Avoid it
• During the meeting with the bride and groom, ask questions about any continuing or previous
family dramas. Identify the people involved in bitter divorces, family feuds, and other events
that have forced family members to be bitter towards each other. Keeping them separate and
far apart from each other is the key to a perfect wedding photo of the entire family.
• Choose the Right Location for Family Photos
• Picking the right location for the photos is an important task for ideal family photos at a
wedding. To do so the photographer could visit the location before the wedding and choose
the perfect locations before the big day. Discussing the location with the bride and groom is
necessary, tell them about the best areas for photos and they will make sure that everyone is
there in time for the photo session.
• Picture with Parents
• Taking a picture of the bride and groom with their parents separately are perfect for getting
intimate photos with plenty of emotions. Taking photos of the bride with her father during
the dance or taking a sweet tender photo of the bride and her mother will be a memorable
portrait.
• Make a List of Family Photos and Share it With the Bride and Groom
• The best way to include everyone in the family wedding portraitsis to come up with a list of
the immediate and extended family members. Include best friends of the bride and groom
too, share the list with the couple to be wed and go through the checklist on the wedding day.
This strategy is perfect to get a photo of everyone with the newlyweds.
