It seems very photography 101. I hope you’re not actually giving this list to the photographer… These posts are good for an amature finding out what ot expect, but any professional will capture these moments without some silly list. If there are special things a couple wants captured that’s cool, but dress shots and getting ready…really….we need a list for this?? If you don’t trust your photographer then don’t hire them.

The amount of crazy shot lists I receive from brides is enough to drive anyone crazy! Not to mention that fact that they just Google it the copy past it and send it straight to me via email. Brides need to understand that they are purchasing a vision of the day. Couples are collaborators in the day not models! (well maybe a little)

As with all wedding vendors, the results will be much better if you discuss your expectations ahead of time.
On the wedding day, we would want to make sure that the photographer captures those essential details we worked so hard on. So if we want to help him or her out, it is a great list of “must-take” wedding photography shots. I would recommend checking off the essentials above, and add any of your own creative ones. But don’t check off too many – you’ll want the photographer to have some time for creative license.

NOT “guarder belt” toss – it’s a garter and there should not be any “belt” attached !

What started out as a traditional list of shots turned into a marvel of contributions!

@frustrated, enough said;

@nicole: I truly appreciate the effort you have put into your posts. They are honest, straight to the point, very informative, in fact the posts are a must read no matter what your level of skill… lots to learn in it!

When I was thinking about the “revealed secrets” in your posts I came to realise that it doesn’t matter what gear one has, combined with all the wizardry — one either understands what “painting with light” means or not. There more talent (natural or acquired), the better the outcome; the gear is just a mere tool. If one can’t put the two together no dollar paid does it make any better.

Good on’ya Nicole, you’ve said it all — and better than me

@Carlos Loeza:

What you are charging I would lose money. Gas costs, camera cleaning and gear cleaning costs alone would eat up the amount you are charging. The Cheapest I have ever charged was $500.00 for a friend to cover my costs and the pay of my second photographer. In fact I lost money on that but I called it a Gift when I gave them several canvas prints and a leatherbound photobook.

You need to look up your costs first. You are going to have your cameras cleaned just before the wedding right? Nothing like a dust speck in every photo to ruin the entire job.

There does not appear to be a full group of all the guests with bride & groom outside the church. I usually do this immediately the couple have come out of the church then go to the smaller individual groups this allows the guests to take their own photos (I know but you are not going to stop them) or leave for the reception
