The Photographers are sometimes overlooked in the planning of the wedding as the Bride and her family take center stage. But it doesn't have to be this way, especially since a wedding is actually the "marriage" of two families.

Early on in the wedding planning, the mother of the groom should have a brunch or luncheon for the bride and her mother. This is a great way for the mother of the groom to get involved at an early stage so that the Groom's family is well represented in the wedding plans.

Both mothers can talk about what type of gowns or pantsuits they want to wear, as well as color selection and formality. They might even want to plan a shopping trip together to look at dresses and accessories that will complement each other.

The Groom's father is often the most overlooked and underappreciated member of the wedding party as all eyes are on the bride and her parents as they plan all the festivities and events. But for the groom's father this is a very important milestone in his life as his son. So don't forget to make him feel special by including him in your plans and seeking out his advice.

The Photographers will traditionally host for the Rehearsal Dinner. This is an opportunity for them to feel important and involved, so make sure that you seek out their advice and support for planning this special event.
