I just have to say that as a photographer it used to bug me when brides would give me a list :p

Of course every wedding is different; before I even booked a bride I went over what I do and what is important to her to make sure I could do what she wanted. Plus, I would meet with the bride a few weeks before the wedding and go over my "standard/basic" shots (which is most of what is in both lists posted above) and ask if she had anything she wanted to add or take away or any special people she wanted to make sure to get pics of or with. I would also get her to fill out a "roll call" so I would know all the names of the wedding party and other important people. Then we would create the time-line to make sure we had time to make everything she wanted happen within the time they she hired me for.

Most photographers I know will get most of these shots listed anyway. The only time something would be missed was if something went wrong like someone was late or something. I guess I see it as sort of insulting to think that a professional photographer needs a list to know what to do at a wedding.

So do I .... I would just prepare a short list of absolute must have shots that are "out of the norm".

I have an album of beauuuuuuuuuuuuuutiful shots from my first wedding and I didn't give him any kind of list. I missed having the shots I mentioned because I didn't tell the photographer that we wanted them or even think about it during the day.

With that said, I should have given our photographer a list when DH and I married because he didn't take any of the standard shots and so, we don't have any "framable" shots to speak of :purplex:

[saltyveruca]

Agreed. If you've hired a good photographer, they'll generally be able to catch the shots you're looking for without working off of a list. But if you have something that you'd be really disappointed to miss, I'd get it in writing. We do find, though, that having a shot list is very nice for formals. We worked without one at a wedding last weekend (the bride told us that she didn't want formals, but her family decided they were going to happen anyway...) and it was a little tough to get all of the groupings without chaos.

One SUPER HELPFUL thing we ask our brides to do is assign a "point person" for the day of the wedding who can tell us exactly who all of these important people are. Because knowing that you want a shot of your grandpa does us no good if we have no idea who he is. :bblol:

[EightEightEight]

I have always regretted that the photographer (previous marriage) didn't take a picture of me and my brother. Unfortunely he will be deployed a month before my wedding and so I still won't get that photo.

You can think of unique shots that aren't the "normal" pictures. I have a few in mind that I really want to get, and I'm thinking that a good photographer would know which shots they *should* get. Although, you may want to make sure that they get every family member - as far as what normal poses, they're pretty good at covering the bases.

[saltyveruca]

Another thing to consider is that by bombarding your photographer with a list, you may keep them distracted trying to get shots, while they're missing shots that look better and just occur naturally. Again, having a good photographer is really helpful here.

My photographer is my friend with a fantastic camera and a great eye. I was worried about this, so I have assigned my brother to kinda help her before and after the ceremony, to round up peeple, so she will never have to look at the list!

[LoLo62808]

My Photographer actually asked me for a list. She said it helps her keep track of things during all the craziness... I just asked her to make sure she got shots of the set-up and surroundings, I'm going to forget what it all looks like if all I have are people shots!

my photographer asked for a list...to make sure everything is covered

Cool; whatever works for you and your photographer :frogg:

I was just stating my experience and opinion that I would never give a list to a professional photographer (unless they ask for it), but rather I would discuss what sort of shots they do and add any special ones :grinhappy:
