To give us more time for couple’s portraits following the ceremony, it’s important to capture
these individual family photos before the ceremony. This is super helpful in case we lose
light earlier than expected!

In the event of no first look, I’ll always schedule family portraits immediately following the ceremony to keep all of my family members together. I also advice my couples to limit these photos to immediate family and grandparents. If they want to add in extended family photos, then that usually takes about 5-10 minutes per photo and can quickly add up to a lot of extra time!
