For most weddings and receptions, the bride and groom will work closely with the professional photographer to ensure all the preferred shots are captured. Sometimes, the shots are traditional and posed while other times, they are candid. Regardless of the style of photography you want for your wedding, some shots are the most important, as you will see from the list below.
Keep in mind that you can choose whatever you like since this is your wedding. However, along with the freedom to choose and the creativity that you have you probably want traditional shots that will become an important part of your life as you move forward as husband and wife. After all, the wedding album will eventually be set aside and looked at less and less. Therefore, when you do bring it out to remember this joyous occasion, you want to ensure that along with the special photographs, you also have the ones that are more traditional and include all the people you love.
