Shot List

[Deleted User] · September 2015

Our planner asked us to make a shot list for our photographer which I've started on, but to be honest a lot of "posed" photo options aren't coming to mind.

I've also read a few comments from ladies on this board that indicated they didn't make a shot list and regretted missing some things. So, what were those shots you wanted but didn't get?

So far we have the typical family shots but really pared down the list- not doing aunts and uncles and cousins and such, just parents and the one grand parent we think will show. I have shots with my brother and niece if they decide to come, but that's highly unlikely.

I'd like a shot with my "styling team."

We have no wedding party. We have a hired officiant who we don't know outside the wedding.

Is there really much more to shoot?

Then we did all the WP ones. I specifically told my photographers to take any pictures guests asked of them. With or without us.

My parents wanted shots of their siblings, my cousins, the group of their friends.

MIL got shots of her and her sister. All her family.

All of my dad's cousins did a shot together.

We made sure we did a group shot of all the guests from the islands.

We did a cousin shot with my side.

ETA - I forgot we got alone one with just DH. He wasn't a fan of doing them though. Nor did we print out any of them.

Yes thank you Lynda, and for Feeley for posting the question. This is something else I have to work on this weekend so this was a very timely post for me.

This is super helpful. Thanks!

You are welcome.

I forgot we got pictures of my parents and just DH. And me with just MIL. Those both turned out really nice.

My sister has (2) faves that weren't on her list but I would probably add.

1. A picture of both dads and the groom. Because they didn't see each other before, she had no idea this photo was taken and loved it.

2. The first look with our dad. He came down after we all got ready and before we went up to walk down the aisle and it's a really sweet photo.

Thank you so much for this! My photog just asked and I was having trouble thinking of everything I wanted. And thanks OP for asking!

Believe it or not, photos of ME!!! After going through all the wedding photos, there was only one photo of me alone. It would have been nice to have a few more photos of just me, I have some really nice individual photos of hubby and lots of shots of him & i and then with everyone else.

When making your list use first names instead of wedding titles. Whether everyone is standing in group for designated photo time or you have to pull people from your cocktail hour it's just easier.

It is easier to listen for and get your butt to the photographer when somene screams "Tiffany, Valerie and lnixon8" rather than "bride, sister and future sister in law".
