Complete wedding photographer checklist: 50 shots your photographer must take
Your wedding day will fly by in a blur of joy and excitement. To ensure you don't miss capturing any crucial moments, provide your photographer with a shot list. Here is the ultimate checklist.
Getting Ready
The Groom
The Ceremony
Family Portraits
Family portraits can be chaotic. Assign a trusted family member who knows everyone to help the photographer gather the right people quickly.
- Couple with bride's parents
- Couple with groom's parents
- Couple with both sets of parents
- Couple with siblings
- Couple with grandparents
- Extended family group shots
Couple Portraits
This is where your photographer's creativity shines.
- Romantic portraits of the couple alone
- Wide shots showing the venue's landscape
- Close-up of the couple's faces
- Walking or dancing together organically
- The "First Look" (if you choose to have one before the ceremony)
The Reception / Party
Don't Forget the Details!
Discuss this list with your Wedding Photographer well in advance. Top vendors like The Wedding Story or Epic Stories usually know these by heart, but it's always good to be on the same page!
