must take photo list

Could someone tell me how mine looks? I know it's long but I'd really appreciate the help!

ETA: Maybe I should've added this...my Uncle is our photographer...he hasn't done weddings in awhile..so he really wants to know what I want.

can i be honest?

thats WAYYYYYYYYYYY too long...
I didn't even read it all...
if you REALLY want all those pictures, make sure you sit down and go over this THOROUGHLY with your photographer. I don't want to tell you this, but don't be disappointed if you are missing a few of those pictures.

go over your list again and say... 'is a pic of the inside of a limo more important or AS important as a picture of FH and his mom?'

cut your list down a little and it'll help your photographer achieve your goal.

maybe do a 'MUST take list' and a 'Would REALLY like' list.

I disagree- Jen give them this list. I only gave a few 'MUST HAVES' and thought that they would automatically do some of the ones that everyone gets. i was wrong!

Give them this list-Its what you want and what you are paying for
