10 Essential Wedding Shots

By Mathew Smith

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.

1. Bride arrives with her father (or other person who will give her away).

2. Father, bride-to-be, and her attendants.

3. Bride being walked down the aisle by her father

4. The happy couple meets after walking up the aisle.

5. The happy couple: the kiss.

6. The register being signed by the Bride and Groom.

7. The Bride accompanying the Groom down the aisle.

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

9. Newlyweds with their mothers and fathers.

10. The cake being cut by the Bride and Groom.
