<human>: I got married about a month ago and we had a small (60-ish people), low-budget wedding.  We got our pictures back a few days ago and I think they're gorgeous.  I love them and I'm really happy with what the photographer did.

BUT

My mother has been upset SINCE THE WEDDING DAY that portraits of each family unit in each extended family weren't taken.  I didn't know she felt so strongly about family pictures before the wedding.  I had given the photographer a list of family groups to photograph, but she apparently didn't follow the list, so now we don't have any pictures of family units to speak of.  (I'm not blaming the photographer; I should have clarified ahead of time about what the expectations were)

Advice:  Talk to your parents/fiance/relevant person about what pictures they would like to have taken.  Give the list to the photographer.  Designate someone to check in with the photographer during the event to make sure that whatever pictures necessary are taken.  My mother complained to me a bit during the reception about why pictures of families weren't being taken, but, hey, I was the bride.  I had to go talk to all the guests.  I didn't have time to police the photographer.

Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?
<bot>: Make a list of pictures you need, give it to the photographer, and make someone hold the photographer accountable so that your mom won't complain about the pictures for weeks after the wedding.
