Picture List Question

RanyattaCasey

Hey Ladies,

 

I was working on a list of specific pictures that I want the photographer to take.  For example my groom and groomsmen are all wearing argyle socks like the picture below but they will actually be sitting down in front of a waterfall. (The socks was one of our gifts.) So I am going to do a shot of that.  Does anyone have any ideas of quirky or special shots they suggest besides the usual?

I have been picking up photo ideas as I've come across things in my planning.  I've been mainly focused on bride/groom pics.  So far the photos below are on my MUST take list:

Luckily I saved this somewhere other than the knot, below is a list I received from CaseynMike and MsAmeera. also check out m1ssj's pinterest page, she has a whole board devoted to wedding pictures. Basic list below:

Bride with mom alone
Bride with sister or brother if you have one
Bride with dad alone
Bride with all of immediate family
Bride with each bridesmaid alone
Bride with all bridesmaid
Bride and Flower girl
All details (shoes, rings, hair piece, dress alone, hanger if you have one garter, gifts, programs, centerpieces, candy bar card box, sand ceremony DIY projects etc)

Bride putting on dress
Mom putting on bride's veil
Bride looking at herself in mirror
Bride putting on her shoes, and garter etc

I repeated the list for the groom.

Then I also had a list of any special family members..
Bride and god mom
Bride and favorite aunt
bride and cousins
**basically ppl who the photog may not know is important to you

I did Bride and groom with both moms
Bride with just moms
Groom with dads
Groom and his sisters
grooms family pics
Grooms VIP ppl his aunts, god parents maybe special friends etc

Grooms face as he sees bride for first time
Parents faces looking at the couple
Groomsmen and bridesmaids looking at the couple
Jumping the broom if you are doing this

First dance
special dances
Cake cutting
Cake alone
Table scape alone
Room empty
Menus
Monogram
Aisle Runner
Food served on plate or buffet set up
Picture of ppl dancing
Picture of the room with everyone in it.
I really loved details so any special detail you obsessed over have her take a pic of it. That's all I can think of off hand.

Stole from my dad! this is the guideline he uses and will add on if the bride chooses too..
