We’ve all seen millions of wedding photos. Some are very traditional and formal, some are hip and funky. But sometimes we see some wedding photos that really stand out from the rest. Here is a quick rundown of photos you should taken for your special day. Print this list and show to your photographer. They will have suggestions on how to personalize your photos to fit your personality and wedding theme. And remember…this is the day you will never forget, so be sure to capture every detail you put so much thought and hard work into!
