Send this to rperfectloops <| sep |> Here haveweddingphotos is an interesting list of suggested shots . These are pretty typical of the work I have seen done by many professionals . I would stay away from saying these are must have shots . The student is trying to learn and will likely be developing their own style . I would not second guess the photographer ' s choices at all . But in case the photographer gets stuck , or if something on this list would be particularly meaningful to you , you might want to ask preferably before the big day for a particular moment to be captured . Like My momdad really helped me get to this point in my life , so a nice shot of herhim helping me get ready would be be great if you can fit it into what you have planned . A few i . e . , one or two of those types of comments can be interpreted by even an aspiring photographer and help give enough of a narrative that they can do what they have been trained to do . Congrats by the way .
