The dress is one of the major focuses of the entire day, so make sure you commemorate it! Your photographer is very well versed at getting the perfect gown shots, so trust their judgement to get the perfect shot of the gown before you put it on!

2. The Getting Ready Photos
Have your photographer shoot photos of you getting ready before your ceremony. Whether it be at home, at a salon, at the church...make sure you get photos of having hair & makeup done, putting the dress on, putting the accessories on, etc... This is going to be one of your favorite parts of the day and filled with a ton of emotion!

3. An Over the Top Model Quality Beauty Photo of You
You'll definitely want some amazing photos of you from your wedding day. You didn't do all that hair and makeup and weeks of prep for nothing! Make sure you get an amazing bridal shot of you and only you....and I mean, magazine worthy!

4. The Wedding Rings
Your wedding rings are a symbol of love and eternity. They're an important part of the tradition of the wedding day. (Not to mention, they're generally a large portion of the cost!) Make sure to get some beautifully laid out photos of both rings.
5. A Photo of Your Bouquet
While some brides keep and preserve and frame their bouquet, most will toss it in the bouquet toss, or at the least it will get torn up a bit with wear and tear from the day. Make sure to get a photo of your bouquet before it sees the crows. You'll be hugged, bump into people, weather could affect it....so be sure to get the beauty shot first thing!

Same goes for the bridesmaids bouquets....

9. Your Walk Down the Aisle

11. Your Wedding Shoes
A beautiful touch to the day. Something pretty to take a picture of....and these pictures always come out so great...magazine worthy! These days a lot of brides are including something on the bottom of the shoe; a note from the groom, something blue, crystal "I Do" letters...be sure to get a photo of that too!

12. Bridal Party Group

13. The Entry Way
Each guest is going to stop at this table, find the card with their name, take a look at the beautiful flowers and photos, and then move along into the reception. Grab a photo of this lovely area before the guests get to it!

14. The Escort Cards
Again, each guest is going to stop at this table and look everything over to find their name and find out where they're supposed to sit. Make it beautiful, make it memorable, and get a photo. :)

15. The Reception
Get a photo of the entire reception, all set up, everything in place and looking perfect! This will be a magical photo to have a look back on!

16. The Centerpieces
This is one of the most important décor aspects to your wedding. Your guests sit at the tables and admire it most of the evening. You, however, will be on the move constantly and probably won't get a change to do as much admiring of the flowers as your guests. Make sure you have some photos taken of the centerpieces!

17. Wedding Favors
These little gifts for your guests are always so well thought of and adorable little things. Especially if they're edible and not able to keep in a box, definitely be sure to get a photo. Even get a photo if it's a favor you can keep one for yourself in a treasure box...because backs ups are always good to have!

18. Catering
The meal will be delicious and the presentation will be like you've never seen, so make sure to request photos the details of your lovely catered meal!

19. Wedding Cake
You put a lot of time, thought, and tasting into creating the absolute perfect wedding cake. Before anyone cuts it or touches it, make sure to get a photo of the pristine cake you thought so hard to come up with!

20. Cake Cutting
This is always a fun part of the wedding day! Sometimes the bride and groom are all about smashing the cake in each other's faces...other brides and grooms skip that all together and just feed it to each other nicely. Either way, you'll want photographs to remember it by!

21. First Dance
This moment of the day should be photographed for obvious reasons. It's completely romantic, and sometimes very entertaining! Make sure to work with the photographer in order to get that perfect first dance pic!

22. Overhead Shot
This is always an amazing shot to get at the reception (and the ceremony has some opportunities for this as well if the venue permits). Just a totally classy and gorgeous photo that shows all the details!

23. Important Toasts
Your best man, maid/matron of honor, parents and possibly others are going to make some very touching speeches and toasts to you during the reception. Make sure you get those documented to you can look back and remember them forever!

24. The Exit
The exit is usually a part of the day, whether after the ceremony or after the reception, that requires planning and participation from everyone in attendance. This is a great opportunity to get some wonderful photos of everyone ushering the bride & groom towards their exit!

25. The Getaway Car
The last touch of the night...the decorated getaway car (or truck, or golf cart, or horse, or boat, or motorcycle, or whatever vehicle you choose to make your exit in!)
