Wedding Photo List by Nahan M Photography
Finding the perfect wedding photo list can help create a well-documented wedding. For many people, photography is one of the most important elements for any wedding. The bride and groom will generally be so busy during the wedding day, that you want to be able to look back and re-live the moments at a later stage, as well as share these moments with friends and family. For that reason, choosing the right photographer for you is crucial.
Most professional photographers will have their own list of critical shots to get (even if that list is in their head and is not written down), but they should always be willing to add any special requests to their list.
