Anyone making a must take photo list?

After doing E-pcs yestarday and forgetting baout some shots I wanted I am sitting here making a list now.
I know how my family is about certain pics... some with girl cuz, boy cuz, all together, aunts and uncles and all that. So I know I have to sit and make a list so no one gets made they were left out

Make sure someone else in your bridal party has an idea of what your must-take pics are. I was my sister's MOH recently. I had asked her for her list, but she never gave it to me. On her wedding day, she was so distracted that she didn't realize that the photographer missed a lot of the pictures she wanted. Nobody else had any idea of what was on the list, so we didn't know to remind the photographer.

I have to have the picture of me in front of the window and the dress shot from the back. The back of my dress is the reason I fell in love!

I have 'the ultimate photog shot sheet' for what I need and it was sent to my photographer, so we're in sync. He's also made some suggestions that have worked in the past.

Re: Anyone making a must take photo list?

my photog frowned upon a 'list' that told him exactly what pics to take,bc after all im not paying him mega-bucks for his good looks, im paying him for his artistic talent...but that being said, i am going to make a lst like of ppl who wouldnt usually be in the pics and make sure he gets them!

Oh yes I totally am doing that but, for example at my cousin's wedding his photographer never took a pic of him and his mom.... how bad is that?

Re: Anyone making a must take photo list?

my cousin never had a formal pic taken with our grandmother... which PISSED me off beyond belief since she is 87 yrs old and we were lucky to still have her there... so i will def giving a list to the photog of all the important people to get formals of... theres so much on the day of to do that im sure my mind will be all over the place and it'll be easy to forget
