Ten "Must-Take" Shots In A Wedding

By Martin Thomas

Sentimental and precious moments are the most essential part of a wedding ceremony. With a good collection of wedding photos, these memories can be preserved in time. The secret to having fantastic wedding photos is to create a list of shots that you wanted to take on that day. By supplying your photographer with a list of must take shots, you can be sure to capture the most important of those moments so you'll always remember. Make sure you discuss your expectations with your wedding photographer ahead of time for better results.

Below are the top 10 "must have" shots for a wedding ceremony.

1. Bride's arrival with father (or individual responsible for giving the bride away).

2. Before the ceremony: a grouping of the bride and her female attendants with the person who will give her away.

3. Bride being walked down the aisle by her father

4. The couple getting ready for their vows.

5. The happy couple: the kiss.

6. The register being signed by the Bride and Groom

7. The happy couple, just married, walking back down the aisle.

8. Full length, posed shot of the happy couple.

9. The couple with their parental units.

10. The cake being cut by the Bride and Groom

3 Best tips for a great job:

1. Backup and Camera. Check your camera to make sure it is working! Make sure you have a second camera available if you need one.

2. The batteries. Have they been charged to full energy? Do you possess two to three spare sets? Back up batteries may come in handy; it's something you don't want to take a chance on when the first dance comes up.

3. Film rolls/memory cards. You will save hundreds by not using a pro, so get a lot, as it's very low cost. Just like the batteries, you wouldn't want to take out the camera at the first dance and discover.
