Photography Checklist

Make a list of the important images you want captured and assign a trusted friend to assist your photographer and videographer.

There are only two ways to ensure your wedding memories are preserved forever. The first is to make a list of the important images you want captured and the second is to assign a trusted friend to assist your photographer and videographer.

Whoever you ask needn't miss out on the fun of being a guest, they merely need to be available to check that your wishes are seen to. Use the following list as a guide for the visuals you desire.
