2\$\begingroup\$ This is rather subjective as it currently reads - you may want to consider re-wording so that it's more specific. \$\endgroup\$– Rowland ShawAug 2, 2010 at 17:39

\$\begingroup\$ On seeing the title, I was prepared to mark to close as subjective. But the lists given in the answers actually seem pretty useful! \$\endgroup\$– mattdmMar 26, 2011 at 4:26

- Patience

I will add to that:
- An assistant who can corale people (My wife's family has easily 110 just including the first cousins, so this is necessary for me)
- A stool to stand on to get everyone in (again, 110 people)
- A wide lens
- Keys or jingly/flashy objects to get kids to look at you when everyone else is
- More patience
Other than patience, I usually brought these items:
- 2 speed lights & batteries
- tripod & 1 light stand
- 1 silver umbrella, 1 white umbrella
- multi-color reflector
- CTO gel
- Camera and 24-70 lens
- Did I mention patience?
