Sample Wedding Shot List:

This is a sample Wedding Shot List, it is helpful to keep certain desired shots in mind in order to help the Photography of the event flow. A shot list is a creative primer, however not a guarantee that all of these shots will be captured.

I ask my clients to add, or remove various shots from the list in order to give me an idea of what they feel will be most important & what they will be looking for.
Any reminders at the event of various shots that are wanted will be greatly appriciated.
I also ask that any Momento's, Decorations, Flower arangements, or other special items that are desired to be photographed be listed.
