The formal portraits of family and friends usually occur before or after your wedding ceremony depending on your wedding timeline. Weddings are usually one of the only times your entire family will gather together in one location, sometimes with family traveling from afar to attend your celebration. These formal portraits will allow you to remember those who are closest to you.
More formal in nature, these groupings of family and friends are typically posed and feature professional off-camera lighting to ensure all members are evenly lit.
