There are so many different themes and styles of wedding nowadays - outdoor, farm, barn, stately home, hotel, church, marquee, casual, formal, all white, colourful, quirky, traditional... I have a personal Pinterest account, and I have about 8 boards with all sorts of wedding photography ideas pinned.
I got thinking about all the details involved with planning each wedding. The bride and groom have chosen the flowers, the favours, the place cards at the tables, the cake. Every tiny little thing has been specifically selected as a part of the big day, and so many times these are not photographed!
So, I have compiled a list of items for fellow photographers to use as a reminder. I did include a few of these on my Bridal Prep blog, and I'm probably still missing some things, but it's a start!
