Who are in family wedding photos?

Answer 1

Here is an AWESOME and COMPLETE list of all the potential photos you would want taken on your special day - if you don't tell the photographer who should be in what picture, the particular picture you want (you with your sisters, etc) doesn't always happen and you're too busy that day to monitor who is in what picture. IT'S A LONG LIST - but a good one and you can narrow it down for your photographer is you have a specific budget...
