Posed Pictures

One more post this late, then I will head to bed, I promise :)FI and I need to start making a list of the mandatory posed pictures we want.  My parents are divorced, his are separated and may be divorced by the wedding.  My dad is remarried, and FMIL has a SO.  FI has 1 younger brother.  I have 1 younger sister and 1 older sister.  I have 4 nieces and a nephew.  We both have 3 living grandparents.  4 attendants on each side, plus a FG and RB.Any suggestions on what posed pictures we should do?  I know this should be a simple list to make, but for some reason, when we started talking about the pics we wanted, both FI and I looked at each other with a blank stare on our faces.  I don't know why, but it's just not clicking.Also, for those of you who didn't reveal to each other before the ceremony- did you bang out pictures beforehand (ie just bride's family/ attendants) or did you do all of them afterward?  How long did it take to get all your church pictures done after the ceremony?  We are trying to make a timeline, and need ideas on how much time to allot for church pics and park pics.  Ceremony is tenatively scheduled for 3-3:45pm, with Cocktail from 5-6pm.Thank you so much, ladies!  Off to bed I go... :)

    Brit - instead of trying to think of poses, maybe think of the shots of people combo's you want, and then have your photographer pose you, or take naturally. A list of things like bride-mob-fob, bride-groom-mob-fob might be easier then saying bride and groom under tree kissing. My photog asked for a list of the people combos we wanted, and if there were any specific pics that were must takes for us, which I only gave her 2 of - she explained that by me asking her for alot of specific shots, we would not get all the ones she could take because she was recreating someone else's work.  But with giving her a list of people combos she wouldnt miss anyone important.HTH's

    Steph, that's what I actually meant, I just didn't know how to put it!  Combos is a good way to describe it.  She needs a list of what pics we want at the church (she called posed, because she will put us where we need to be with the people we want in that particular pic), and then at the park it will be more freeflowing.

    Gotcha - I thought you were actually trying to write a list of pics how/where you wanted.  :)Well, what I did was take my guest list and decide who the important people were that I wanted in my album.  Parents, grandparents, siblings, bridal party, aunts/uncles your close to etc.  Then make a list of that person, plus either the bride or groom, plus that person with bride & groom (example for my sis, I wrote sis + bride, sis + bride & groom).  If theres any tradition shots you want - make sure they are on the list - everytime my FMIL gets together with her 4 siblings, they take a pic of the 5 of them (since its not often they are all in 1 location).Here's my list - Cindy told me shed get all the detail shots, so I didnt have to include them on my list - so there may be a few you want not on here... Sorry if the formatting gets messy - its in excel. Who's who… Bride Stephanie Groom Tony Maid of Honor/bride sister (MOH) Christine Best Man/Father of Groom (FOG) Ken Brides sister Dawn Mother of Groom (MOG) Cathy Mother of Bride (MOB) Linda Father of Bride (FOB) Steve Groom's Grandmother Hazel Groom's Grandfather Ed Locations: Getting ready/B & G reveal Christiana Hilton Ceremony & Reception Hartefeld National Shots we wouls like: Bride Steph Bride and groom Steph & Tony Bride and groom with both sets of parents Steph, Tony, Linda, Steve, Ken, & Cathy Bride and groom with bride’s family Steph, Tony, Linda, Steve, Christine, Dawn Bride and groom with bride’s parents Steph, Tony, Linda, & Steve Bride and groom with groom’s parents Tony, Steph, Ken, & Cathy Bride and her 2 sisters Steph, Christine, Dawn Bride with maid of honor Steph & Christine Bride with parents Steph, Linda, & Steve Bride with sister Steph & Dawn Bride, Groom, her 2 sis, and their fiances Steph, Tony, Christine, Chris, Dawn, & John Bride’s and groom’s hands displaying rings Steph & Tony Sister & her Fiance Dawn & John Entire wedding party Steph, Tony, Christine, & Ken Groom Tony Groom & kids Tony, Melissa, & Ronald Groom, Bride & kids Tony, Steph, Melissa, & Ronald Groom - cousin shot Tony, Randy, Ryan, Jimmy, Kenny, Teresa, Denise, Kristin Groom & his Grandparents Tony, Ed, Hazel Groom with best man Tony & Ken Groom with parents Tony, Ken, & Cathy Groom, Bride, & his Grandparents Tony, Steph, Ed, Hazel MOB & her extended family (4) Linda, Kay, Bill, Donna MOG & her siblings (5) Cathy, Sharron, Barbara, Jimmy, & Bev MOH & her Fiance Christine & Chris Group pictures of guests at each table Special guests watching ceremony Mom's, Dad's, Grandparents, Sisters Guests blowing bubbles Signing of wedding certificate Friends signing guest book Guests at cocktail hour Reception site, set for dinner Seating-cards display Centerpieces Place settings Candy buffet Wedding cake Rings in flower pic Bride & Groom reveal - pic's attached to email, steph & tony on both sides of the door

    That's great Steph, thank you so much!  I just needed ideas of where to start- I think that when I start to think about it, because there can be so many that you want, I start to feel overwhelmed, and then I don't want to do it.  This at least gives me a head start on what I need, and I can add from there...thanks, you're the best!
