Photography checklist

Modern Wedding Posted: October 18, 2012

Let photographers (and videographers) know which parts of the event you definitely want captured. There's nothing worse than having the photographer miss classic, never-to-be-repeated moments you wanted to immortalise on film. "¨"¨The following list will help you with your discussions of which shots you would like. Your photographer will also have a list of what he/she would recommend.

AT HOME:

  •          Getting ready,
  •          Bride in her dress,
  •          Bride and bridesmaids,
  •          Bride and parents,
  •          Bride and mother,
  •          Bride and father,
  •          Bride with whole family,
  •          Leaving the house,
  •          Getting into the car,
  •          Other photos.

AT THE CEREMONY LOCATION

  •          Groom alone,
  •          Groom and best man,
  •          Bride and father getting out of car,
  •          Bride entering the church,
  •          Walking down the aisle,
  •          Bride and groom during the ceremony,
  •          Signing the register,
  •          Couple with marriage certificate,
  •          Bride and groom coming down the aisle,
  •          Bride and groom on the church steps,
  •          Bride and groom getting into car,
  •          Other photos.

BEFORE THE RECEPTION

  •          Bride and groom,
  •          Bride and groom with her family then his family,
  •          Bride with her family,
  •          Groom with his family,
  •          Bride, groom and both families,
  •          Bride, groom, best man and chief bridesmaid,
  •          The whole wedding party,
  •          Bride and groom with any special guests,
  •          Other photos.

AT THE RECEPTION

  •          Bride and groom arriving,
  •          Receiving line,
  •          The buffet table,
  •          The top table,
  •          Bride and groom with each guest table
  •          Speechmakers,
  •          Cutting the cake,
  •          The first dance,
  •          Other photos.

AFTER THE RECEPTION

Most professional photographers don't stay until the end of the reception. You may decide to fake the cutting of the cake so the photographer can leave earlier. If you would like to also have photos of throwing the bouquet, or the bride and groom saying goodbye, then you'll either have to pay the professional photographer to stay or settle for amateur shots from friends and family.
