A woman’s wedding day is one of the most special and memorable days of her life.  Whether surrounded by family and friends or kept to an intimate setting between bride and groom, the ceremony and all it embodies will be cherished and remembered for years to come.  Pictures commemorate the day and help keep those memories close, so choosing a photographer can be one of the most important elements to planning your wedding. 

One way to ensure all the magic of your special day is captured is by creating a photo checklist with your photographer.  After all, there’s nothing worse than realizing after the fact that your favorite Aunt isn’t in a single photo, or that beautiful details of your gown or reception décor were missed.  There are plenty of sites and magazines geared towards making sure all poses and one-of-a-kind moments are covered.  This article offers a great checklist of traditional as well as the most popular shots to help you figure out which ones are must haves for you.

Having posed shots is great but the best recipe for capturing the day is to blend a list of must have pictures with spontaneous, un-posed shots.  The end result is more than just photographs, it’s a story.  Your story!
