Photos to Remember

When your wedding day is over all you have is your memories and a album full of photographs (plus the man of your dreams). For this  reason, you need to choose a quality photographer (this does not necessarily mean expensive), and making sure that he or she takes pictures of the moments that will rekindle memories far into the future.

Here is a list of photos to give to the photographer.  Sometimes, photographers get so involved with their work that they might forget to take a picture of those distant relatives that flew in from overseas.

Be sure to have your wedding photographer take close up pictures of your rings. Keep a copy of the photo with your other valuables in case something should happen to your rings. One of the first things an insurance adjuster will ask is if you have a photograph of the ring so that they can assess the current value.
