You would have spent hours creating and deciding on the colors of
the flowers, table settings and other fine details, so do included
these in your wedding photography shot list.
These small details
may not end up as framed pictures on your wall, but they will form part
of your treasured memories by painting a picture of your day.
Include
close ups of any accessories such as the rings, shoes, bag and bouquet,
shots of the reception room before the guests arrive, the table
centerpieces and any other details that you feel are important to you.
Your
photographer may not stick precisely to your wedding photography shot
list (if they did they may miss out on the spontaneous things that are
happening at your wedding). So don't be disappointed if he does not
photograph everything on your list.
Provide your photographer
with a list of timings for the actual day, such as the time you will be
putting on makeup, leaving your home to go to the ceremony, the arrival
time at the reception and your departure from the reception.

important.
