must take photo list
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!
