Sample Photo List
IHO: Taylor Jones + Quinn Smith
Date: June 30, 2014
Pre-Ceremony Venue: The Waldorf Hotel, NYC
Ceremony Venue: Central Park, NYC
Reception Venue: The Waldorf Hotel, NYC
Key:
MOH = Maid of Honor
MTOH = Matron of Honor (not used, but just in case)
BM = Best Man
BRM = Bridesmaid
GM = Groomsman
MO1 = Mother of Partner 1
MO2 = Mother of Partner 2
FO1 = Father of Partner 1

*PLEASE NOTE: when you are writing this yourself, use everyone’s first names
instead of the abbreviations above. It’s easier for your photographer’s assistant or
wedding coordinator to call out first names than it is to call out “Mother of the
groom”. Plus, people respond quicker to hearing their first name than they do
their “wedding role.”

(note: try to keep the same members in the shots as long as possible as it reduces
shuffling and composition time for each photo. Notice above how I have the best
man in three shots in a row so the photographer doesn’t have to keep reframing
the photo as new people move out)
