Picture List Question

Eighth Anniversary 100 Comments 25 Love Its Combo Breaker
edited May 2013 in African American Weddings

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

    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.
