Your wedding day is a series of unforgettable moments, each one worth capturing. As you plan for your big day, creating a wedding photo wishlist with your wedding photographer ensures that no important moments or details are missed. Here’s how to craft a comprehensive photo checklist that covers everything from the first look to the last dance, ensuring your wedding album is as perfect as the day itself.
The Must-Have Shots
Start by listing the essentials. These typically include key moments like the first look, exchange of vows, first kiss, family portraits, and the first dance. Discuss each of these with your photographer to make sure they understand your expectations and any specific requirements you might have.
Pre-Wedding Preparations
Capturing the excitement and anticipation as you get ready can add a deeply personal touch to your album. Include shots of the wedding attire before it’s worn, makeup and hair being done, and the wedding party getting ready. These behind-the-scenes moments often hold cherished memories.
Detailed Decor
Your wedding decor is a reflection of your style and theme, and you’ll want to remember the hard work that went into it. Include requests for detailed shots of the venue, table settings, floral arrangements, and any special details like your wedding invitations or unique signage.
Candid Moments & Interactions
While posed shots are essential, candid moments often capture the genuine emotion of the day. Ask your photographer to keep an eye out for these spontaneous interactions—laughter, tears, and joyous celebrations that naturally occur throughout the day. Photos of guests enjoying the day are invaluable. They not only add to the narrative of your wedding but also help you see moments you might have missed. Include group shots, dance floor antics, and any organized activities.
Unique Additions
Every wedding is unique, so think about what sets yours apart. Whether it’s a special performance, a unique ceremony ritual, or even a themed exit strategy, make sure your photographer knows to capture these elements.

With a well-planned photo wishlist, you can be confident that your wedding photography will cover all bases. Discuss this list during your consultations and be open to suggestions from your photographer—they might have insights into shots you hadn’t considered.
