We invited and paid for the in laws to all come abroad to celebrate our wedding. I got on well with them, so I was really looking forward to sharing our wedding with them and becoming part of a much bigger family.

During our group wedding photo, the sister-in-laws were asked 5 times to face towards the camera. Each time they kept turning back into facing each other instead, away from us, the bride and groom.

The day after our wedding they called my then husband, saying they wanted to go get photos but they only wanted blood family in the photos so myself and our little girl was not welcome.

I'm confused, ould this be a sign that they are jealous or see me as taking their son/ brother from them?

No

They just want a photo together all dressed up

That's all

I think they phrased it badly to be honest. Sometimes people just want professional pix taken at weddings that they want, fine if there's time otherwise no, pay for your own professional

If all your Family understood the instructions, then that suggests it was clear enough

When you say the day after your wedding, do you mean they just wanted a photo of them all together or were using your wedding photographer?

If taking their own I would find it odd them saying only blood relatives. I mean it could be something as simple as they are not together often and saw an opportunity to get a photo of just siblings and their parents while they were all together. but excuding you by saying blood relatives was a bit oddly worded. I mean surely in that situation you'd invite everyone and take a few different pictures, including the one just of siblings and parents. Especially so the day after a marriage!

The sisters not looking at the camera is odd. How were they with you generally on day of the wedding?

So you paid for them to come abroad to your wedding, and then they turned their backs to you in the group wedding photo despite being asked 5 times to face the camera like normal people would have done without being asked?
How incredibly rude. But their rudeness is captured forever in that photo where they are standing with their backs to you.
