The day you solemnize your love with your bae is one helluva special day. And given that it will have gobs of heart-warming moments, you’ll want your photographer to capture everything to the T. Be it the joyous jaimala moment that brings out cheery smiles, the gripping sindoor moment that instantly gives chills down the spine or the rawly emotional vidaai, you must have already pictured it all in your mind. But does your photographer know what all important shots you most definitely want him or her to click? While those mushy couple photos, family portraits & all the other classic shots are obvious, you still gotta have your own wedding photo checklist. Why? Because there are umpteen must-have shots & so many memories to be stored. And to make sure you don’t miss out on anything that holds utmost importance, a wedding photo checklist is a must.

So, we prepared one for you! Save for yourself and share it with your photographer before the D-day.
