  1. From the People workspace, click the Family tab (entitled Tree tab in Family Tree Maker 2014) and select either of the parent’s names from the index on the left.
  2. With one of the parents selected, please click on the Marriage facts button in the Family Group view.
  3. In the window that appears, click on the Media tab at the top.
  4. From here you can select the photo you would like to add. To do this, simply click on the drop-down arrow next to New, and select one of the three options provided:
  • Add New Media: This option allows you to import a photo that isn’t currently in your main Media gallery. Selecting this opens a window from which you can locate and open the photo you would like to attach from a folder on your computer.
  • Link to Existing Media: This option allows you to attach a photo that is already in your Media gallery. Selecting this opens a window from which you can select the media item you'd like.
  • Scan Media: This option allows you to scan a photo directly to this fact’s media. Clicking this will open up the scanner dialog window on your computer.
