I am shooting my first wedding this May and need to research this.
Thanks in advance.

Ask the customer to make a list. Sometimes they come back with 6 photos, yesterday a bride came back with 48...

The danger with those lists are that you will only shoot those and no room for artistic stuff *at all*. So try to keep that list to a minimum, just the real important people. Estimate that each image will take about 3 minutes, so if you have 48 x 3, it'll take you over 2 hours!!!


And for some fun, here's *the* ultimate list! ;) :D

I try to discourage lists if at all possible. But I do ask the bride about the most important people to get.
