Top Tips

Do not make a list that is too exhaustive and thus blow away your photographer with notes of what to take.  Be organized and think through what you want long before the wedding day. Print out the list below and check off what you want.  It will be a great guide to give to your photographer.

On top of traditional shots, you may want to get portraits or candids of specific couples or families that are not in the wedding party since framed photographs make great gifts. You can have these printed and give them as birthday or holiday gifts.

Remember that while you and your new partner will be the center of your universe, you are not the center of everyone else's. Keep that in mind when choosing which pictures to give to your guests - a family portrait or a candid of someone's child may be more meaningful to some than your first dance.
