This checklist can help you and your photographer with photo ideas. It is not meant to be exhaustive and should only be used as a guideline. For instance; you might want a photo of the bride with both parents together rather than a photo of the bride with each parent individually. If your "photo package" includes a smaller number of photos, you will want to find ways to combine groups, or delete shots. A good idea is to get with your photographer prior to your wedding date to determine what photos you want and what photos are not needed.

One more note; if you want lots of candid, or a photojournalistic approach to your photos, don't bog your photographer down with an exhaustive checklist of posed photos. He will be constantly referring to his notes and gathering people while missing the candids.  

Consider getting disposable wedding cameras and leave one on each table.  Be sure the guest leave them on the table for your family to pick up after you leave the reception.
