Does anyone have a standard shot list they care to share with me?	Can't Post

As many of you know I am just getting in to the Photo side of things and so I have a bride who has hired me to shoot her ceremony and she and I are trying to figure out a standard shot list and then some stuff we can add in there also. If anyone knows where I can get one or cares to share it would be very much appreciated! TIA Wink

I push B/G to think of must have combinations (a few). Else, I mix and match using those available and using the scenery provided. Put them in roles/situations that are goofy/fun to get genuine reactions....

Sorry, not specific but genuine. Just keep perusing photographer's websites and Knot feedback for more ideas to add to the arsenal.

I have to run for a shoot today. I'll try and post a list I got from someone else. However ... I REALLY steer brides away from formals as much as possible. If I send a list it's not the one I use.

I'll more than likely suggest no more than 5 to 10 shots and if it's anything other than that they have to type it out.

Relaxed formals ... that's what I'm shooting for this year. We'll see how that goes.

Hi,

Try these out, if get a good selection of these as well as any candid

- Picture of church/venue from outside
- Picture of church/venue from inside
- Altar, decorations & flowers
- Officiator/priest/celebrant
- Groom & male wedding party at altar
- Bride & Father arriving at ceremony venue
- Female attendants arriving at ceremony venue
- Bride, Father & attendants before processional
- Bride & Father starting down the aisle
- Bridal Party proceeding down the aisle
- Groom�s reaction as he first sees bride
- Father kissing bride before the altar
- Bride & groom greeting each other at altar
- Full church/venue shot of everyone
- Bride & Groom saying vows
- Bride & Groom during ring ceremony
- Bride & Groom�s special kiss
- Any singer/organist or musicians
- Shots of special readings
- Special religious or cultural moments
- Parent�s reactions at significant moments
- Couple turning to face guests
- The recessional
- Guests leaving the church/venue
- Confetti, roses, bubbles etc
- Couple kissing family & guests

If I think of any others I will let you know, HTH.

P.S. this is my first ever post (don't you feel special Wink

)

Regards.

You doing the video, too? What's your plan for combining
photo and video at the same event? Have an assistant/associate?

Yes, but not always... I've already gotten some bookings for Photography only Wink

Definately bringing an assistant to shoot the photos while I concentrate on the video but the photo wil be under my direction as opposed to what we all face now.

I do both photo & video bookings for the same event.
I get two assistants. One to do only photography & another to do video. I do the main photography of all formals, but also grab the video camera to do creative stuff as well. It is a stressful day for sure, but I charge a fair amount of money for it.

If you don't mind me asking ... what is "a fair amount of money?" I'm curious to see what other videographers are charging to do do both video and photography at the same wedding.

Thanks
