Maybe you can have your family meet early and you can have them do all your shots with your family, BP, etc., and then only do joint shots with FH during cocktail hour? If you're having two photographers the other can do the same with FH and his family/BP.
I did not see FH before and we had enough time during CH to take pics. He took pics with his GM before and I did the same with my girls. During CH we took the family pics, BP together and pics with just the 2 of us. Our CH was only an hour long. So I think it depends on your photographer. Mine was pretty quick and we still had time to eat during CH in our suite.
Our ceremony is at noon and the cocktail hour starts at 12:30. I figured it would be enough time because my bridal party will be with my before hand so I can do my pics with them then. Once my photographer told me that it might not be enough time, I got nervous. Getting my family there on time for the ceremony will be enough of an issue (which is why our invitation calls for half an hour early haha) but I will def try to arrange that. We still need to get joint family pics, our pics, bridal party pics done during CH. I'm hoping the photographers are just saying that to cover themselves and that it really won't be an issue. :-/
