At the heart for any individual, families play a pivotal role and so for a wedding photographer capturing family portraits on the big day is an essential part. And as your subjects will retrace back their memory of the day with the photo album, this will be a section, which will most definitely be looked out for. Here are some wedding photography tips to capturing amazing family portraits:
Tips To Capturing Amazing Family Portraits:
1. Family-time, say cheese!
The family of the grooms-side, the brides-side are essential shots. There could be the usual set of capturing the couple with the grooms-side family, then the brides-side and the both sides together. Getting the family together and capturing them with the couple are must-take shots. Remember to co-ordinate with an insider and not miss out on any member for the shoot.2. Locations and Lighting
Explore the wedding location for some awesome backdrops for the family portraits. Keep in mind that there should not be too much of movement, as it is tricky to reassemble larger groups and being considerate to older folks matters. Check of the light situation and make sure that light is balanced well on each face in the group as you capture.3. Do not obscure faces
Keep the depth of field in check, and remember that each face in the family portrait matters. Do not obscure faces, and remember in the awesome backdrop you may have selected, the heart of the capture is the couple and their families.4. It’s all a matter of time
Plan out the family portraits well, keep micro details in mind and plan well, the movement, reassembling, the movement, a few poses, reposes and well finally the capture. If you’ve planned the photo-shoot well, it will be a cake-wake for the group and they will appreciate the smooth process.5. Keep Family dynamics in mind
One does not need to get into details of family dynamics, but having an insider help you with the group shots could be a blessing. Informal talks, a bit of research will help you understand dynamics, and could help you getting amazing shots of the family with fewer hassles.

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

LOVE this program! Works better than ANY other program out there that I have found to upload thousands of pictures WITH SUB-FOLDERS to SmugMug!
Thank you so much for what you do! :) #happycustomer

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!

PicBackMan was really easy to setup and has been running for 3 days now backing up all my locally saved photos to Flickr. My photos are really valuable to me so it's great to be able to have them easily backed up to a secure location.
Jim Griffin It's AWESOME!! I have tens of thousands of pictures...and they are now successfully uploaded to SmugMug, where they are safely backed up, and I can edit and organize them. If you are hesitating about using PicBackMan, hesitate no longer...try it...and you'll be glad you did!!

I started with the basic plan, went to premium and now on their platinum plan and it's more than worth the price for me. PicBackMan has saved me many tedious hours of effort moving many files between my various cloud and photo site services and my local computers.

I am very satisfied and surprised at the same time with Pic BackMan. The service is very good and useful. I used it to transfer my photos from Dropbox to my Flickr accound. I highly recomment it.

PicBackMan was an answer to many a prayer. How can I get this MASSIVE collection of photos onto a service that cripples uploading? PicBackMan. I uploaded approximately 85,000 photos in less than a month. It would have taken me close to a year to get all of those photos where they needed to go. Nothing short of brilliant.
Dary MerckensI have thousands of family photos and it's always been such a pain to upload them to various cloud services for offline storage. Well not anymore! PicBackMan makes backing everything up a complete breeze. I don't know how I ever lived without it!
Glen MartineauI was poking around the Internet looking for an easy tool to help me consolidate 15 years of my pictures from Google Photos and Flickr etc - this tool was very easy to use and was painless to setup.
