We all know the classic wedding shots that you just have to have. The Bride getting dressed, the bouquet toss, and the cutting of the wedding cake always show up in photo albums because they are key pieces in most cases. Ideally, you'd have photos of every minute of your wedding, but realistically- your big day is much too busy for such a thing. There are a few scenes you must capture in addition to any other photo plans you may have. Taking these photos will ensure you remember the timeline of your wedding night, from beginning to end.
What you can do, is plan a photo for each milestone of the wedding process. Including certain effects will make for beautiful photos in chronological order, allowing you to relive the night with those viewing your album.
Start with the dress- everything starts with the dress! Take a photo of the dress on display, as a symbol of the official start of your wedding day. This is a great introduction or cover photo for scrapbooks as well.

Include the guys getting ready as well! Ensure that your photographer catches the mood of the room while they prepare. Even catching something as sweet as groom's mother helping with his tie is enough to pull on the heartstrings.

Sneak in to get photos before the reception starts, you'll want to remember everything from the music to the aesthetics of the room. A calm photo of the undisturbed scene will bring back the excitement from before the event.

For your final photos, ensure that you have an exit photo, like the “Just Married” sign heading off into the sunset, or the new bride and groom heading into their new home. Whatever works best for you, end your album with that and use it for follow up “Thank You” cards for your guests.
