Photography Request List

This is a working list I'm putting together to send to the photographer. She requested it, and I am glad she did. Feel free to borrow it to get yours going! I am adding to it, and arranging it constantly but I think it makes sense so far. Let me know what you think.

Details


Inanimate Objects:

Hanging dress with shoes and jewelry
Bride's Bouquet
Bride's bouquet with bridesmaids bouquets
Groom's suit/shoes/boutonniere
An invitation
Bride and Groom's rings

Card Table
Program basket
Food buffet

Spaces: (please take pictures with no one in them)
*these would probably look best with “effects”
Groom’s dressing room
Brides’ dressing room
Reception hall
Ceremony yard (people will probably be in this, that is fine)

Pre-Ceremony Activities

  1. Awww, it's so cute that you went to prom together.
    I also think that you should get one of the table all set up with linens and glasses etc. It would be nice to get one of each piece like shoes, dress and jewelry as well as all of them together.
    Other than that, I think your list is pretty much what I would want. Your wedding is so close now. I'm so excited for you.

  2. This is helpful, thanks! I didn't think about the "bride in the mirror" shot, and I love those! I might have forgotten about that.

  3. Thanks JEM, good ideas! I will definitely add that. Glad it helped Amberdawn. I posted this right before I read about what happened to Mrs. Beever over at her blog "Thoughts of the all consumed bride". Yikes! These lists should come in handy.
