Must have shots

Just wondering what everyones must have shots are for their photgrapher, mine isnt a big fan of these lists but I am paying him right.

Here's my list, but each person is different, depending on taste, size of BP and family, etc.

1/3 traditional, 1/3 candid and 1/3 photojournalistic

Bride’s House:
Bride with Mother
Bride with Bridesmaids
Mother of Bride with Sister


Church
Giving out Programs
Actual Program
String Quartet
Rose Petal Basket
Rose Petal Toss


After Church

Before Cocktail Hour

Back at hall:

Groom with both sides of family
placecard table
Frames table

Cocktail Hour
Candid Guest Shots
Reception tables without guests

Reception
Bride and Work Friends
Groom and fraternity brothers

i would recommend a shot with everyone in both of your immedicate families in it (ie parents, siblings, grandparents, etc) - it would be nice ot have multiple generations together.....
