5. Jewellery – bride and grooms jewellery on the day especially if they are gifts to each other
6. Church and or wedding venue – wherever you are getting married remembering to get an image of the venue before the bridal party arrives is often missed. If you have spent time choosing colours, a theme or it’s a quirky venue then you will want to ensure there is a picture before and after your guests arrive. A night time picture of your venue can also be a great closure image in your wedding book.

8. Entrance – it should be a standard picture by any professional photographer but just in case get it on your list.
9. Grooms reaction – now this one is difficult to get if you want the entrance one too and only have one photographer. If you can afford it, always consider two photographers. If not get the best man to capture that moment or consider meeting up just before the entrance to capture that moment alone with your photographer. There are many settings this would work well.
