  I don't have Todd as my photographer, but I did end up putting together a list of everything I wanted a photo of (including little details, like our rings on an invitation, etc).  I figured it was better that Deacon knows what i want pictures of instead of guessing and finding out later that something was missed. 
  
  I broke it down in to sections based on what time we would be somewhere.  For example:
  1-130, my hotel room, Detail shots:  dress, rings, etc
  2-3, bridal party pictures, City Center.  FI with BM, Me with MOH, all 4 of us, etc
  
  I was probably incredibly over detailed but I wanted to be sure nothing got missed!

  Not working with Todd, but I am in the middle of doing a must take list. Though many of the shots probably are a given, I'd rather give them a list and make sure those shots are done than chance not having them. I've got a few standards: dress on hanger, shoes, rings with wedding day's newspaper. I also have a list of VIPs for our photographer: mom, dad, grandparents, uncles &cousins.  Excel spredsheets are my friend

  I did a list for DT but it was not super formal.  It was more about spaces that we wanted pictures with/around (like in front of Binions or the Golden Nugget).  I couldn't really care less about the detail pictures like the rings and shoes. They're nice but I would never frame them or anything. 
  
  For the photog who did our formals, I did a complete list.  Like B&G alone, B&G with both sets of parents, B&G with one set of parents, etc.  We banged them out in 20 minutes.

  I don't get married often, but when I do, I do it in Las Vegas.

  Only thing my wife has complained about missing pictures of has been the back of her dress; it's only partially in one picture.  I have been meaning to email Mike L to see if he has any of the back that just didn't make the cut that we could have anyway but haven't gotten around to doing that yet.

  This is great to know, smokey!  I did this too, and was curious how long it would take.  I was hoping that by having everyone listed, it would go pretty quickly.

  I have the list in my bio. I emailed the photographers a complete list with a ton of inspiration pictures. On the day of one of them had the stack of pages in her hands and we didn't miss any. The only thing I regret is not having arranged the invitation in a way that all its inserts were showing. I only have shots of it in its belly band. 

  
  

  Edit- oh wait, there is something... I had arranged the favors in a beautiful vase that was sitting on the console inside the suite and they didn't photographed it/them. So I'd say it's better to include even the details that seem obvious. In the end I didn't mind since they appear in the video.
