must take photo list

desi2002

after reading eagles post, i really feel the need to get a must take photo list and give it to my photog. It may be micromanaging, but these photos will be all that I have to look at after my wedding is over.

Do any of you ladies have a list of photos you want taken, or can suggest some good shots?

thanks!

I have been working on my list. We have so much family coming from out of state that we never see we are really using the oppertunity of having a photographer to get some great family pics.

I'm still working on our list as well. However to get family photos were photographing guest as they enter the dining hall & having a 3 hr photo booth just so we don't miss anyone.

My Photographer recommended this to me. We plan to meet a least a month before the wedding to work on the list. I think this is a great idea.
