    This is a great list. All too often we think that when we hire photographers they know exactally what we want. Yes they do to a degree, but they are not mind readers and may not know ALL the types of shots we want. Some photographers also focus more on the contemporary style rather than the traditional and they need to be asked specifically if you want these, This is a great list to be able to run through with the chosen photographer :-)
