Are You Ready for Your Family Photo Pose?
At weddings, there's always a designated time for the group photo of the newlyweds and their relatives.
This group photo, representing the connection between the two families that have just joined together, holds significant meaning.
Family photos typically feature everyone arranged in a neat line.
Usually, without much consultation, the venue's photographer directs how to organize everyone.
Of course, it’s essential to have a formal photo where everyone’s face is clearly visible.
But… since it's such a special occasion where relatives from both sides have gathered, don’t you want to capture some unique and wonderful shots as well?
In this article, we'll introduce photography ideas for family photos that convey the closeness of the family ♡

A group photo with everyone lined up in a row is also nice.
