Advice Needed...Help!

I am having a difficult time with a situation. 

My FI's brother is now dating a girl.  This is his first 'real' girlfriend and they have been together for six months or so.  She is upset that she will not be in any of the family pictures.  The issue is that I have a big family and my brother and sister are both dating someone.  They will also not be in the family pictures. To me it makes since, why would a date of a family member expect to be in the family pictures. 

I like her and think she is great but I do not see why she would expect that.  My family is paying 4K for pictures and I think if they are only dating for such a short time period that does not necessarily earn her a spot in the family photos. My sister has been living with her boyfriend for 3 years and he is not going to be in the pictures.  I am only including family members and spouses. 

I feel like I am being a major B#$@H but I just think this is one of those things I should not budge on.  Advice/Suggestions/Validation?

    don't budge on this!  These are your pictures and you are completely not being a B#S@H on this.  I honestly think it is really weired that she thinks she should be in them.  That would creep me out if I were your FI's brother.  I doubt she would last very long if she is causing drama over something like this.

    If it's going to be a major drama, then do some with just family and spouses and then let her jump in for one with her. But make sure you have one WITHOUT her in it! You will regret it if you don't.

    Quick tip to the 'PRO' photographer up there-swearing it up on a wedding board in poorly spelled posts is not a good way to build a reputation. Sincerely, another pro that is a little embarassed for you.

    Also, it's you're wedding, so whatever you would like to do. A decent compromise might be to do one big quick photo with all the SI's, then do just family and spouses. It would take about 2 minutes extra if you are organized, and may just help keep the peace.
