Are you giving your photographer a list of must take pics?

I was afraid of sounding rude to the photographer..I've seen his work and love it...but I remember at my MOH's wedding, she was disappointed that she didn't get some pics she really wanted but didn't ask for. I was her MOH, and there was not 1 pic of the two of us together!!
So, I was thinking of giving him a small list and maybe a couple pics to re-create. I have the memory of a goldfish, I wanna remeber as much as I can about the day!
Is anyone else gonna do this? Or am I being a...Bridezilla

No, you are not being a Brideszilla! It will help the Photographer out. He may not know who the important people are. It's fine to give him a small list!

I have confidence in my photographer and his creative ideas- but I will still give him a list- NO matter what!!

Nope. I'm gonna let him do his thing. I completely trust him and his wife. They are fabulous!

I trust my photographer, but I will give him a list and copies of 'must take' pics. It's only one day and I wouldn't want to leave this to chance and then be unhappy afterwards. My photographer also mentioned it, so he's obviously OK with it.

You're not a bridezilla!

I wasn't going to give a list, but then I saw this post on BHB: wedding proofs

After reading this post last night I started making a 'must-take' picture list.

I am planning on asking him to make sure he takes a few that I really want. It's not like I am telling him how to do his job. I just want certain things captured.

I am going to give ours a list-just b/c I want to make sure that the shots that are important to me are important to him too

i think that is a must not only becuase he doesnt kknow who the people are but hes also not a mind reader....all brides have their ideal must have shots this is why i made a list and gave it to my photographer as long as i have these i dont care what he does as far as the other pics he takes......we have unlimitted photage so i have about 200 must have shots.....

Re: Are you giving your photographer a list of must take pics?

I was thinking this too. And I am definitely going to do this. I don't think it is being a Bridezilla at all.

Actually most photographers require a list. It makes everything easier

Re: Are you giving your photographer a list of must take pics?

no im not making a list. my photographers are photojournalists. its their job to be creative and not re do another photographers image. if i really want some group shots, i'll let them know day of the wedding.
