There’s nothing worse than getting to the end of the day and realizing that no one took a picture of your favorite Aunt or that you only got shots of one set of parents with the bride and groom and not the other side of the family!
While I highly recommend adjusting and customizing it for your wedding it certainly makes a worthwhile starting point for the type of shots you might want to capture on the day. Also there is nothing wrong with looking at some of the popular social web sites (i.e. www.Pintrist.com) to get some ideas. This help not only you plan some photos but it gives the photographer an insight as to the style that your looking for.
Here are the ‘must have’ shots:
