Must have photo..

Does anyone have a list of must take pictures for the photographer. I noticed on the thread of what I would have changed about my wedding....
most girls said the photographer missed moments that they thought were standard.

So I figure I will give my photographer a full list.

I bumped the thread for you!

Thanks. Where do I find it? and how do you bump a thread?

A couple months ago, I saw one in Modern Bride or something. If I have it I will post it but I have to wait until I get home to see.
