If you have a large family, or if you want to be ultra-organised with your wedding photography preparation, think about giving your wedding photographer a ‘face sheet’.
This is a handy check sheet with photos of your key guests, along with their names and relationship to you and your groom. It helps your wedding photographer understand the most important people you want to include in your wedding album.
Also, if there are any sensitive details or circumstances about your family, be sure to include this on your list of things to tell your wedding photographer, as it will affect the positioning of group shots. Examples might include family members who don’t get on, mobility issues that might affect how far a guest can walk or where they can stand, and any guests who have a strong aversion to flash lighting or having their photos taken.
