Wedding Photo List 2006—Suggestions

Please keep the following in mind.

This is a standard “Christian ceremony” list. It can be adapted to any faith or personal orientation--just write in what is important to you.

#1. Be sure to check off what you want, cross off what you don’t want, and write in anything extra.

#2. Write in times everything is happening, and names of important people

#3, Include addresses and phone numbers of all locations as well as your officiant.

#4. All photography is in color unless you state otherwise. If you want black and white images, you can either put “BW” next to any part of the list and you will receive a black and white photo from a black and white negative

OR

#5. You can have all of your images in color, and select whatever you want in black and white from your previews. My lab has special papers that make nice black & white images and sepia (brown toned) photos from color negatives.
