Wedding season is in full bloom. Before your big day, I highly suggest you print out this VIP list of must have photos for your day, or cater this list to your needs. This will help me understand exactly the shots you want for your wedding day. Of course, I will capture the moments of your events..no reminders needed there, but I will not know who everyone is at your wedding, so in addition to this list, you should also have a go to person who I can count on to gather the guests for these shots.

Enjoy!
