Wedding Photo Must-Haves

With the wedding almost a month away, we've been emailing with our photographers for the past few weeks about the shooting schedule for the big day.  Our photogs are an awesome couple who offered us a pretty sweet deal--in addition to including our e-shoot within the cost, there is also no time limit for shooting on the wedding day.  They will come early for the getting-ready shots and they will stay until the party ends at 2am (unless we tell them they can leave earlier since we'll all probably be bombed and look like crap by that point!)

So while working out the shooting schedule and family portrait VIP list, I also wanted to send them my list of must-have shots that I've been hoarding pinning on Pinterest.  Here is a snippet of the images that make me swoon and that I hope they'll use as inspiration.

FYI, this will be a pretty pic-heavy post!
