Once the wedding plans are complete and you’re only days away from the big event, the entire family will begin to gather from near and far to join in the celebration – one of the happiest ‘must-be-there’ occasions experienced by your immediate family.
As busy as you know you’ll be, do set aside some time with your family to create a cherished memory; the family portrait you’ve talked about for years.
Weddings are one of the few celebrations that gather families together from all over the country and, in some instances, the world. There won’t be an easier or more ideal time to have a professional photographer take your family group portrait.
Your wedding photographer, in most instances, will be totally occupied with shooting the many aspects of the wedding ceremony and activities. As cherished and beautiful as these photos may be, the formal wedding attire simply doesn’t lend itself to the concept of an heirloom family portrait.

Arrangements can be made with your professional photographer to meet you and your family in a special location, your family home, or his/her studio. Many photographers offer unique studio settings which lend themselves to either a formal, dressed in your best, portrait or the extremely popular casual group portrait.
There are special treatments that can be applied to your portrait. One favorite is the beautiful brush stroke finish which creates the look of a fine painting.
You may not have an opportunity to take this treasured photo again… so plan a special family time, a day or so ahead of the wedding, to create your unique family heirloom portrait
