Brides speech & pictures!

Dress hanging and shoes/ other details are simple for a photographer to get shots of so may as well while they are there. Better to have them than not.

If your photographer is any good, then he/she should already have a checklist of standard key shots such as you mention. I would focus on thinking about the things that they might miss because they don't realise they are there, e.g. non-standard friendship/family groupings or tiny details that could easily be overlooked.

For example, at our wedding, the things we flagged up to our photographer were: the minister and pianist were both personal friends, not just people 'booked' for the day, so it was important they featured well in our photos; I had a tiny bouquet charm with a picture of my deceased father and some of his handwriting engraved on it which I wanted featured, and one of our guests has been like a second mother to me, so it was also important we had a photo with her on her own.

You can always head over to Pinterest for wedding photo ideas, there are loads. Also when choosing a photographer (something that I did), definitely check their work from multiple weddings so you know what to expect, and if you like certain photos and would want the same on your wedding day maybe go with that photographer. They are usually experts and will give you suggestions on poses and all that. Hope that helps and happy planning!
