After putting so much effort into planning your wedding, you\u2019ll want to capture it in the best way possible so you can look back on all the pictures and re-live every detail. And while all good wedding photographers<\/strong><\/a> will have their own list of important moments, we recommend putting together a shot list of wedding photos you’d love to have taken, so nothing is missed.<\/p>\n \u201cYou put an incredible amount of work into planning your wedding and want it captured in the best way,\u201d explains Steve Morris from Blue Ginger Photography<\/strong><\/a>. \u201cBecause of this, I encourage my couples to create a shot list to make sure nobody wakes up the next day realising that the shot of Aunt Mary wasn\u2019t taken. I then use this shot list as a general outline and build on it during the day to include the must-have shots that my couples want!\u201d<\/p>\n Creating a shot list and sharing it with your wedding photographer is a win-win \u2014 you can relax knowing that you’ll get the specific images you’ve envisioned, and your photographer’s job is made a little easier by having clear instructions to work with. If you\u2019re unsure what to include in your shot list, we enlisted the help of our amazing wedding photography suppliers to create this handy list of key wedding moments as a general outline. You can check out more of their expert advice here.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\nbrowse wedding photographers<\/span><\/a>\n One of the few moments on a wedding day that can be entirely staged, the detail shots capture the colour palette, stationery, and overall aesthetics of the wedding that you\u2019ve so carefully planned. We love the idea of playing with textures and lighting for these shots to capture dreamy images of your accessories, invitations, outfits, florals, and more.<\/p>\n As the excitement builds and your hair and makeup dream team work their magic, your photographer will be busy snapping away to capture the all-important getting-ready shots. To ensure they don\u2019t miss anything, we suggest allowing plenty of time to get ready, so your photographer can allocate enough time to capture both the bridal party and groomsmen as they prep for the wedding.<\/p>\n While this is entirely up to you, many couples choose to do a \u2018first look\u2019 before the ceremony to save time later in the day and calm their nerves. Spending a few quiet minutes together before exchanging vows can be a beautiful way to connect and capture those intimate, emotion-filled shots.<\/p>\n This one is a no-brainer and possibly the most important moment your photographer will capture as you and your partner exchange vows. The key here is to let your photographer know if there are any smaller details that you\u2019d like to be photographed during the ceremony, like your guests arriving or a close-up shot of your wedding bands.<\/p>\n You did it! After you\u2019ve exchanged vows and officially tied the knot, it\u2019s time to celebrate with your closest loved ones as you slip away for group photos during cocktail hour. Alternatively, if you\u2019d like to spend more time with your guests, you might prefer to take these group shots before the ceremony.<\/p>\n Once the reception kicks off, your photographer will be busy capturing lots of fun and relaxed shots of all your guests as they dine, drink and dance the night away. To make sure nothing is missed, we suggest letting your photographer know if there are any important details you\u2019d like captured from the reception, whether it\u2019s the food, d\u00e9cor or cake cutting.<\/p>\nDetail Shots<\/h4>\n
