Weddingbee

My FI and I love playing with our cousins, nieces, and nephews. I have a large family consisting of more than 10+ cousins ranging between 2 to 11 years of age. If we go without seeing them for more than 2 weeks, we get sad and yearn to be a superhero (either Superman or Star Power) with them again.

Since we love kids, I pitched the idea of incorporating them into our engagement pictures to my FI. How cute would that be to have pictures of us with them in the park? I was thinking of doing it at a local park that has a historic trolley and gazebo. I know, I know that the pictures should be representative of us, but when I think of a wedding I think the love extends to the rest of the family as well - two families uniting.

Well to my dismay he thought it was a cute idea but realistically wasn’t do-able. How can we manage 10 kids from toddler to pre teen in one photographic shot? Not to mention how would our photographer feel about agreeing to this idea? Has this ever been done in an engagement photo session before? After asking my FI 10 times, I finally agreed to not do it. I was bummed man.

Picture something like this…

I couldn’t find any engagement photos with kids in it that weren’t the couple’s kids. What do you guys think of this idea?
