Family photos on wedding day are usually a hot mess, but they don’t have to be.

Let us set the scene for you. Typically family photos happen right after your ceremony, and if you aren’t prepared it usually turns into a bit of a circus. Your uncle left and went to the bar, your grandma can’t stop talking to you long enough to get a photo, your cousins aren’t sure if they’re included and your portraits get cut short because of the delay.

We aren’t heroes, but we can rescue you from the family photo chaos we see way too often.

In this episode we’re covering 4 of our most helpful tips to ensure your wedding family photo time is a positive experience and not a negative one. We talk about having a detailed shot list, creating a timeline for photos, directing your family where to go after the ceremony, and different ways to get photos with people outside your family.

With proper planning, family photos can be less of a hot mess!

CELL PHONES + WEDDINGS = A BIG DISASTER

It’s no secret that we’re all glued to our cell phones these days, but there is one place you should refrain from scrolling, texting and taking photos… weddings.

We’ve shot 100+ weddings in our day, and we’ve seen countless times where guests are crowding the aisle to get their low resolution version of the shot the couple paid thousands of dollars for.

In this episode we break down our biggest frustrations when it comes to cell phones at ceremonies AND offer ways to ensure your wedding ceremony is unplugged (like, actually unplugged).

We’re extremely passionate about this topic, so rest assured you’ll be entertained.

To do a first look or to not do a first look? THAT is the question we’re asking (and answering) on this episode.

There are pros and cons to doing a first look with your partner. Usually, couples are all for it or totally against it. As wedding photographers, we know this can be a pretty tough decision to make so we do our best to walk you through what the wedding day is like with or without a first look.

If you are on the fence about what to choose, we recorded this episode JUST FOR YOU!

If you're a photographer or videographer in the wedding industry, you NEED to know your camera inside and out. We’ve seen our fair share of vendors who simply do not understand their cameras and are potentially hurting their couples because of it.

Our good friend Manual Daniel shares a lot of technical insights in this episode. We also jump in and tell some horror stories of other vendors who are simply just being lazy when it comes to learning about their camera.

We actually had a wedding where a photographer shot in JPG vs RAW… if you're a photographer we hope you just threw up in your mouth a little bit. If you’re not a photographer, hang with us. You may nod off a bit, but we do our best to explain the ins and outs of photography if you don't know a lot about it. It’s time that photographers and videographers get to know their cameras and stop missing moments.

Photographers and videographers, your camera is a tool and if you aren’t using it correctly you are doing a disservice to your clients.
