Suggested List of Photographs

Every wedding is different and this wedding list is meant to be used only as a guide.

Many of the suggested shots will not be required or even possible.

You and your photographer need to work together in order to compile a list of feasible photographs.

It is also important to realise that while I will make every effort to take the photo's you request,

I can't guarantee that every photo will be taken.

It is your responsibility to let everyone on your list know that they need to be available for photos

and to help organize all of the individuals involved. Cooperation is the key.

What you need to do after reading this list.

1. Choose the photo's you would like from this list and add to it your own shots that are not shown in this guide.

2. Make an ordered numbered list and print copies for yourself, helpers on the day and most importantly,

post or email a copy to your photographer.

3. Make sure any helpers on the day, e.g. Ushers etc, also have a copy.
