My photographer spoke last night and she wants us to send her of list of must have photos. The photos I'm having a difficult time with are family photos. Below I have listed out our families. My fiance's parents have been separated for approximately ten years, but never officially divorced. However, his dad is engaged. My fiance has only met his dad's fiancee twice so he barely knows her. His dad is also estranged, from my fiance's half siblings, but his mom is close to them as she helped raise them. I don't want to make my fiance's half siblings comfortable so I'm not sure what family photos to request. My fiance said to make the list and he will review it when he gets home. As for my family, no one in my family including myself likes my sister's boyfriend. He has been a terrible influence in her life. We all really love my brother's wife though. I would like to include her in family photos, but I'm worried this will upset my sister if I don't include him. I was thinking possibly doing one photo with my parents, siblings and their significant others, one photo of my parents and my siblings, and one photo of my parents, siblings and my brother's wife that way I can have one without the boyfriend and one with the boyfriend. However, I'm not sure if my sister would question the photo of my parents, siblings and my brother's wife without her boyfriend. Side note: My brother got married back in January and my fiance and my sister's boyfriend weren't in any photos because my brother wanted to avoid the drama of not including my sister's boyfriend in photos. Any advice would be great.
