Photography Question

Comprehensive List for Wedding Pix


I've been browsing the BP site and web for those 'mustn't miss' shots, and came up with a great list on this link - http://weddings.about.com/od/photographer/a/Photogchecklist.htm
For those who are starting out (like me), and I know there are a lot of us, this is a really handy checklist! Just thought I'd share with you all. There's been a lot of sniping and uneccesary harsh comments on different threads lately - so, if you've got something useful (and simple) to share, please do :)

  The only list you need is the one the cordinater holds which is the family pictures so you don't miss any groupings.

The day should go like this
Shoes,Flowers,Rings,Dress(by itself),Bride getting makeup,Bride getting into the dress,elegant poses in the dress,Bride & Bridesmaids.
Guys getting ready, cuflinks, suit by itself, groom putting on jacket, groom with his buds, Ceremony(details-flowers-kids-friends-invitations), Family, Romatics, Sunset, Reception: entrance,speeches,Food(if fancy),table settings, table treats, ice sculptures, table shots(of guests),cake,cake cutting, garder&bouque, first dance,
This process from start to finish will take anywhere from 7to10hrs

The bride and groom will be exhausted, so try to do the romantics ( the best shots) at the beginning of the day while everything is still fresh, it shows.

  Forgot after the family, bridal party

On the Romantics(not Romatics)let them be themselves at first and shoot them interacting and tell them not to look at the camera. Then if you decide they are kind of stiff, then you can pose them and do some formals. If you have no idea, there are tons of bridal magazines out there, rip out shots and bring a folder with you.

  Thats pretty much what the link gives in terms of a list, but its laid out in such a way you can just copy/paste to word and then print it out and take it with.
