Our carefully curated family photo list is a fantastic starting point. It’s designed to cover all the essential family groupings and can typically be completed in about 30 minutes. However, we understand each family is different and encourage you to customize this list to perfectly fit your unique family dynamics.


We also recommend writing out a list with the full names of your family members. This isn't just for your benefit, but it's a game-changer for your photographer or wedding coordinator too. By calling your family by their names, they can efficiently orchestrate this part of the wedding day timeline, ensuring everyone is present and accounted for with minimal fuss.


And let's not forget, your wedding is as unique as you are. Use this list as a springboard, add your personal touch, and include additional combinations if you like – just remember to account for a little extra time if you do.


In the serene and picturesque settings of Red Oak Valley, family formals become heirlooms, reflecting the warmth and love shared on your wedding day. With our guide, you'll craft a photo session that's not only smooth but also joyfully unforgettable.
