that I am not at all interested in formal family pics? It probably is but here's the deal. We get 20 pictures with our package. I really only want the 20 we get, not interested in paying for any more given what I have heard about their prices. My must have shot list includes:
Groom when he sees me for the first time
Me walking down the aisle
our kiss
Presentation of the new Mr. & Mrs.
The rest of the ceremony is bonus.
FMIL asked if there will be time to touch up make-up before pics. I assume she meant formals with the family. My immediate family consists of my older brother and neice. FI immediate family consists of his mom & sis. (oh and spouse/ so of the siblings) I really don't want to use my 20 pics on these shots. We have an outside photog for prep and after ceremony with just us and the reception but I don't want to miss too much of my reception having him do the formals either.
The family is cool and all, but can't we just get some candids during the reception? Am I trippin'?
Is it wrong?

Now with more wedded bliss.
I don't get married often, but when I do, I do it in Las Vegas.

My suggestions:
If it's the latter, couldn't you spend 5 minutes on getting the shots, and then if family members want to purchase them, they can do that on their own.
If it's the former, take 2 shots- one with all of your family, one with all of his family.

The shot list is probably a good idea. I have been working on one for Deacon Tyler ( our outside photog). i might as well do one for the Cashman photog too.

I paid cashman the extra $125 for 20 mins of formal family photo's after our ceremony before we head out to get our hour of just FI and I. In total I get 36 photo prints. I have no idea how Im going to pony up the money for the rights...maybe I'll have to street walk a couple days this week

[QUOTE]Im so sorry you wont have your parents with you. My advice is to give your FMIL the pictures she wants...but put a limit on the time frame spent on these. 20 photos isnt much, so if you have another photographer that can do this in his time frame maybe that would work better. I just think that my FI's family is my family too and that it's important to capture the moment...and it will only be more special as time goes by. I understand how this moment (fomal pics with his family) will be bittersweet to you, really I do.

That's a good idea, but my package only come with 4X6 prints and I dont want them to scan funny. I'm going to try to see how much it would cost to upgrade to 5X7's and mabye buy a few 8X10 prints if I cant afford the rights.

FI hates having his picture taken. Too many posed shots may be torture for him if I have DT do family formals too. Compromise is so hard when dealing with the feelings of in laws. All I know is FMIL better be photogenic

[QUOTE]I don't think it's wrong to not want to pay for formal family photos, hell, half of my family I didn't even want to invite lol. That being said, since they're already coming, <font color="#999999"><strong>might as well grin and bear it and get the group shots taken, then you won't have to listen to them bitch about it later which is probably worse than taking them.</strong>

RIGHT!
Does Cashman provide a link to give to guests so that they can purchase what they want? If so, problem solved right?
If they provide a link...problem solved.
[QUOTE]Thank you vfriday. Yeah guess I will just be choosing 42 nice pics. Lol! I'm surely not buying any rights. Aren't they thousands of dollars? Yup! Neagtive on that. lol! If they provide a link...problem solved.

Yeah, Cashman digital rights SUCK; they average about $800 to $1000 per hour of photography.

or
Have DTyler take your formal shots. If your immediate family is that small, it shouldn't take more than 15 minutes time.
I think, in this case, you should appease FMIL. I prefer candid shots, but I know the older people in Fi & my families would prefer the more traditional style photos. DTyler is also my photographer, so I figure between Deacon & Sarah we can knock them out quickly and get on to the partying. Also going to try to get as many done as we can before the ceremony.
