Repertoire

A Typical Wedding Repertoire

Having a wedding repertoire serves several purposes.  Long before the wedding it can help the bride and groom to organise their thoughts around their special day and make sure they don't forget anything.  It forms the basis of all the events they want recorded on their wedding,  from here they can adjust the list to meet their own personal needs and to customise it to include those little aspects that's going to make their wedding unique and special.  It also serves as a good counter of the size of package they require.  Lastly once they have copped and changed it according to their needs they can hand it over to the photographer and rest assured that everything and everybody that should be on a picture, will be on a picture.  The photographer will have the list with him all the time and tick of each picture as it is taken - nothing will be excluded.

 

Underneath I have the repertoire that I normally use.  It is important that you realise that this list is a flexible as it gets.  You can use it or you can put together a whole new list of your own, but I have found that this list is fairly extensive and will definitely serve as a good reference point.
