Apart from the groom and bride, on the list of images a photographer at a wedding has to take, few can rival the family portraits for importance. If you want to make sure you capture all the photos you require, make sure you watch this video tutorial that gives various practical and actionable tips, along with a behind-the-scenes video of how a wedding photographer approaches the challenge.
From Jana Williams, this video tutorial is a must-watch and offers helpful advice for creating wedding portraits of the family. While it’s great to get to know as many members of the family as you can prior to the wedding ceremony, as Williams says, due to the size or availability, there are times when that isn’t possible.
This is the time to have not just the list of each family member required for different shots and photos but also someone who has a basic understanding of the family and will assist in getting their attention and organizing them effectively to ensure that you don’t leave anyone out. You maximize the typically limited amount of time you get to take all your photos. Take a look at the video below for the complete explanation from Williams.
