photo ideas

[paepp]

I am doing a wedding album for DS and plan on having pages done before the wedding so all that will need to be added is the photos. I have never done this before and don't want to forget any photos that need to be taken on the big day ..
could you please give me ideas of photos to be sure to add to the album

I am fairly new to scrapbooking and besides looking on this site and others on line have no idea where to start

thanks
Paepp

Paepp, what a nice thing for you to do before the wedding.

You will probably get more help with your questions if you post them in the Scrapbooking section of this forum. Here is a link:

Photos will likely include the bride getting ready, maybe the groom getting ready, bridesmaids gathered around the bride before the ceremony, groomsmen joking with the groom, a teary-eyed father a he gets ready to walk his daughter down the aisle, the actual walk, the bride and groom at the alter, groom kissing bride and then the myriad of family photos. Couple with his parents, couple with her parents, groom with his parents, bride with her parents, both sets of parents of the couple, bridal party, rice/bird seed throwing, couples get-away car, etc.

Photos of all the guests too - perhaps by the tables they're sitting.
And photos of centerpieces/decorations/cake/food.

And then I found this list:

Don't forget the reception pages too:
-pictures of people at tables
-cutting cake and picture of the cake before it's cut
-first dance
-dance with parents
-throwing bouquet
-decorations (centerpieces, any flowers, trellises, etc)

As far as the actual wedding, the only things that I can think of that weren't mentioned already are:
-decorations (pew bows, flowers, etc)
-unity candle picture of couple and of mothers if they're having one
-the people helping with the wedding (singing, reading scripture/poem, handing out programs, guest book attendants)

Having a page for them to put their invitation and a page for them to put their program would be nice too.
