Ok so my FH has a gigantic family, I really don't want to spend 2 hours taking pictures with everyone. Most important on my list of course are parents and grandparents so I will take formals with them. Do I NEED to take formals with every aunt and uncle...and how can I possibly fit them in if I do? Help! TIA
I don't think you need to. I don't plan to at least. I have a huge family as well... so in between the church and the reception I am going to take pics with the bridal party and parents.. and then I am going to meet the grandparents and my god parents at the RH 30 min early and take pics with them there...If I did every aunt and uncle I would be there for a few hours taking pics!

FH and I are seeing eachother before the ceremony and we are having our immediate families come to the RH about and hour or so before the ceremony so we can get the pictures done that way. I really don't want to miss my CH and I get really impatient w/ pictures. Once they are over I'll be good.

we have a big family and we did 2 huge group photos for my brothers wedding, one with my mom's side of the family (aunts, uncles, etc) and one with my dad's side of the family. The only ones who got solo shots were the grandparents.
ETA: I plan to do the same during cocktail hour

yes we had discussed this idea too. i dunno, i really wanted to eat at my CH and relax a bit before the reception, not get aggravated as my mother and MIL try to round up relatives for a pic.
i have a huge family fh as no family lol so im not going to take 1000 pics with all my cousins and aunts while he sits around im just taking with the bp parents grandparents and other close family members i dont think anyone would be offended
I agree that you don't have to. Maybe his god parents if he has them. Otherwise just do one huge family photo and call it a day. You can always ask the photographer to take a picture of them without you and FH so they have a nice family photo and they can do that during the reception.
No you don't. Listen, my cousin got married and his wife didn't have a good time because my Aunt was a PITA and wanted formals of the whole family. Don't do it. Just have pics with the parents, in laws, siblings and whoever is in the bridal party. I am planning on doing that. I know my Mom won't be happy but I am firm on that decision.
We are probably going to have pics taken at the RH lobby...I have a very small family, and FH's is much larger, but the immediate is not too bad that it would take hours. If it starts getting crunched for time, I have no problem stepping in and cutting it off, whether all shots have been taken or not.
As far as me with family pics and knowing how everyone wants different kind of shots..... I am asking the main family to come alittle early before the ceremony to take pics.
There is NO way possible to do each aunt and uncle in mine and FHs family...so we don't want to insult anyone at the same time...soo...the only ones coming to take pictures are only the BP and parents...all our siblings are already in the BP lol... Then at the RH, I told my photographer that I want to make sure to have a decent pic of me and everyone..I made a huge list! But we're doing that with most of the guests anways... Like of them giving me the hug, and a pat on the back...not posed...ya know? lol
