The Ultimate Wedding Day Photo Checklist for Couples

Make sure your special day is captured just the way you want!

Before the Wedding

• Schedule your engagement session — it helps you get comfy in front of the camera!

• Share your wedding timeline with your photographer ahead of time

• Create a “Must-Have” photo list (family members, special moments, group shots)

• Confirm your ceremony and reception venues with your photographer

• Choose a point person to help organize family/group photos on the day

Getting Ready

• Photos of your dress, shoes, jewelry, and other details

• Candid shots of hair and makeup

• Special moments with your bridal party, parents, and close friends

• Groom getting ready shots — cufflinks, tie, boutonniere

Ceremony

• Arrival of guests and wedding party

• Bride walking down the aisle

• Groom’s reaction

• Exchanging vows and rings

• The kiss!

• Any special traditions or rituals

Portraits & Family Photos

Reception
