Completely agree!  When we first started talking about a wedding, I thought I'd be following the advice I'd always read about giving your photographer an extensive list of posed photos you want, because there's no going back, and you'd better make sure you get a posed picture with each person you care about.  It made sense when I read it.  Then, I discovered the photo-journalistic style and saw what beauty a talented photographer could produce that way, and I chucked that idea about a long list of posed shots straight out the window!  

 

I realized I don't want an album full of photos that all look the same, where we're standing there with interchangeable bridesmaids and guests; I want photos that reflect how the day actually goes, photos that can remind us in an instant of everything that was special about the day.  I want real emotions in the pictures!  We've all seen our friends smiling and laughing before, then reached to get a camera, had them pose and smile, and ended up with a photo that's nothing like the memory of them laughing in the moment.

 

Being the control freak I am, it's imperative we go with a photographer we trust completely to get every detail simply because it's what they do, not because of any list of poses we have in mind.  For this reason, we're having del Sol photographers at our wedding.  A look through their galleries and slideshows makes it incredibly clear that they don't need my guidance.  They know what they are doing!  I'd much rather give them all the room they need to be creative and wow us, than to waste a moment asking them to take pictures that will look like other people's pictures.  The main instruction we'll be giving them is, "Do your thing!" 

 

All that said (sorry, I'm a verbose chica like whoa!), there is just one picture I plan to specifically ask for, and that is a group shot of everyone.  Most of us will never get another chance to have such a picture; I know I won't.  Obviously, it's more doable if you have a smaller crowd, but I've seen it done well with larger ones, too.  I can see us getting a mega size print of something like this and hanging it prominently in our home, a sweet summary of the day and the love we felt.
