Include extended family Aunts, uncles, cousins. Adds an extra count card on the next step. Include the extras Chosen family / godparents, sibling partners, nieces & nephews. Each adds one count card. First look planned? Lets us recommend smarter time-splits when one side asked for separate frames.

Family wrangler (optional) One person who knows everyone's face. We'll print their name + cell on the PDF so the photographer can text them on the day.

Officiant (optional) Some couples want a quick photo with their officiant before they leave. We'll place it first in your formals so they can step away after.

Final Touches

A few last choices about the kind of shot list you want — each one only takes a second.

How long do you have for family formals?

Based on the people you added, here's our recommendation. Adjust if your timeline is tighter or looser.

Recommended — Add people on Step 2 first.

Use this:

How thorough should the list be?

Complete — Recommended ~45 min · the full editorial set — every meaningful family combination most couples want. Streamlined ~30 min · 4-6 must-have groupings. Choose this if your photo block is tight.

Include kids in family shots?

Nieces, nephews, flower kids — folded into the family groupings.

Yes, include kids Recommended unless you specifically want adult-only frames.

Hit Generate Shot List below when you're ready. We'll compare your target length and flag if it's tight.
