Great wedding photos aren't luck — they're a list. Hand your photographer a clear shot list and you'll never sigh "I wish we'd gotten a photo of…" again.
Getting ready The dress on the hanger, the rings, the shoes, parents seeing you dressed for the first time, the details (invitations, perfume, jewelry).
Ceremony The first look down the aisle, the vows, the first kiss, the rings going on, faces in the crowd, the exit.
The family grid Make a named list of must-have family groupings before the day — this is where time is lost. Assign a helper to gather each group so your photographer just shoots.
Reception Grand entrance, first dance, the toasts (and reactions), the cake, the dance floor at peak, the send-off.
The "don't forget" A photo of just the two of you at sunset, away from everyone. Most couples say it's their favorite shot of the day.
