These are the Top Ten Most Popular Wedding Shots that should be included in the work of your wedding photographer on your wedding day.

2. Family Shot. This important family picture includes the bride and her parents and the groom and his parents. The shot may or may not include siblings. Traditionally the wedding photographer will make the bride and groom stand together, with their parents flanking them on either side.

3. The Bride And Groom's Hands. This traditional picture is usually taken just before the cake is cut. Typically, the bride's left hand is placed over the groom's left hand, and positioned so the rings are in perfect view.
