what list of photographs are you giving your phorographer?

We didn't have too many...

Big Group Shot

All the Girls

All the Boys

The Bridal Party

B&G and Bride's immediate family

B&G and Bride's extended family

B&G and Groom's immediate family

B&G and Groom's extended family

Bride & CBM (Sister) & Flowergirl

Groom & Best Man

Groom & Brother

The rest was all reportage...

We are not having many at all.

Big Group Shot

The bridal party

B&G and brides immediate family (parents, brother & SIL and nephew)

B&G and grooms immediate family (parents, sister and potentially her LT boyfriend)

B&G and both sets of parents

That is all really. I will have some more informal shots with the bridesmaids whilst getting ready in the morning, as will OH with his ushers so not fussed about having seperate formal shots with them really.

We only have 50/60 guests at the wedding in total so we hope most people will be in the reportage shots of the day. Other than that any particular photos I would like to have with good friends will most likely be done with them on their cameras. We are also doing our own photobooth thing so will also have silly pics with friends on this.

Our photographers suggest a max of 10 formal must have photos.

HTH

These days formals seem to be just to please the older generation.

It would be good to have a VIP list where you and your OH walk to find with your tog and then have the picture taken.

I'm not giving my photographer a list. There are no unusual photographs (or combinations of people) I'm after, and I figure that he's experienced enough that he knows the sort of shots to go for. I mean, it's not like I'm going to come away without a photo of me and my parents or something like that! If I see a nice location on the day, I'll ask him at the time

This was the list we gave our tog:

Bride, Groom and Bride's Paternal Grandparents

Bride, Groom and Groom's Paternal Grandparents

Bride, Groom and Groom's Maternal Grandparents

Bride and her Usherettes

Bride, Groom, Bridal Party, & Families

Bride and her Bridesmaids

Groom and his Best Man

Bride, Groom and both sets of Parents

Bride, Groom and Bride's Parents

Bride, Groom and Groom's Parents

Bride, Groom and Groom's Family

Bride, Groom and Bride's Family

On the day I think we missed out Groom and Best Man, and B&G with individual families, and we also did Groom's grandparents all together.

I also made a list of detail shots, most of which were obvious but which I wanted to make sure we got:

At home

Dress hanging up

Shoes hanging up (soles in view)

At the ceremony

Signing the register

First kiss

Confetti being thrown

Bride and Groom on the back of the bus

At the evening reception

Glass of champagne

Place cards

Table plan

Favours (jars of sweets)

Cake-cutting
