What's up with these lists? Don't you trust your photographer? If you don't.....why did you hire them? If I was a photographer & you gave me a list like this I would be insulted!

I really dont feel like i owe you an explanation for why i want a list, if i trust my photographer or why i hired him.
How you would feel about a bride giving you a list if you were a photog is really of no concern of mine either .
