Leaving it up to the experts is not always a good idea when you have particular memories you want to collect for your wedding photo album. This album is often what is left after the cake, the food and dance music are gone.....but the album reflects the day and the celebration. Each wedding is different -- even though a specific set of photos may be requested. You will need to think long and hard about which photos you want taken and if you and your sweetheart want to have your formals taken prior to the wedding, or during, some time between the wedding and reception -- and for how long a time segment.
For instance: As a recent bride, and being a second marriage it was a learning experience again to have photos taken that would reflect our unique situation! We especially wanted the grandchildren photographed as they participated, and a family gathering of both clans in one shot -- which was not easy... considering we have five children and they have spouses and children. We did not want to keep our guests waiting for the reception as it was a late afternoon ceremony and a sunset reception. We opted to have our formals taken prior to the wedding. I love flowers and wanted close ups of the tables and bouquets which we had spent special time in selecting. We also wanted the sunset vineyard photos. Consequently the list was different for our very talented photographer.
Another instance for another couple: The bridesmaids were to do a specific musical dance during the reception and photos and video were requested for this entire sequence.
Another instance for another couple: It was a theme wedding and all guest attending were to wear costume. The bride had a formal photographer to follow she and her husband and a candid photographer take photos of the guests and their costumes.
Another instance for another couple: A young friend knew her mom was terminally ill and requested her attendant move specific guests to sit with her mom and the photographer came back and took those shots throughout the day....thus she had a real journal of her mom with her friends beside her during the event.
