I love candid family pictures at weddings.  That sideways glance, that tearful smile, the joyful laughter.  It sums up the happiness and pride of decades of love.  Family ties can also mean complications and tough questions, like "who will walk you down the aisle?" "Who will sit at the reserved {family tables}?" "Who will be in organized- traditional family photos?"


Make sure to talk through your wishes with your fiancee and your extended family members months before the event.  It's better to work through and set every one's expectation, instead of "hoping" everything will work out the day of.  Remember your photographer will be greatly appreciative if you already know who you'd like in family photos and what special people you want one-on-one photos of.  Your special day happens so quickly, and you don't want it bogged down with family drama!
