  We have an appointment with our photographer on the 22nd and we are pringing a list of our must-take photos.  We don't want a ton of formal pics, but there are some that we would like.  Our photog wants to take about 45 minutes during cocktail hour to do our formal pics so that we can enjoy our reception.  They asked for a list so that we could make things move along for that.
  
  We just made a basic list for which pictures we wanted, who we wanted in them, etc.  We didn't go too nuts with the details. I figure that they will know what looks good, I just need to tell them who should be in them.

  Better to have more details then too few... when my MOH got married a lot of her family left the church and didn't get any pictures of her family. The photographer was soposed to get a few group shots at the reception but it never happened and the bride didn't realize it until she reviewed all the pictures. I also have another friend who had a son from a previous marriage, and the photographer never took a picture of her, her husband and her son. The photographer did a free family session but they didn't have anything from the wedding.

  We'll be giving a list to them and an email with examples of the photos we want.
  
  We have engagement pictures soon and they said to think of a few shots we really want so we don't miss any.  I think its good to have all of your bases covered.

  I'm going to give our photographers a list. They said, for them, it's helpful and it makes the family shots go by a bit quicker if everyone knows in advance who needs to be there...maybe we won't miss the whole cocktail hour.

  YES! Give them a list. I feel like I put a little too much faith in my photographer. I have awesome formal pictures of my bridal party but not a single picture of me and my sister. We have a few candids but none of just the two of us. That is my biggest photography related regret. You would like to think this would not happen but you can never be too sure! GL.
