What information do you request from the couple prior to their wedding day?

"Of course, I always ensure that I have a few basics: a shot list, a timeline, and what key angles they want to be captured. I also request a list of guests that require photos and their relation to the couple. This allows me to more seamlessly work through the crowd and engage guests when it is time for group photos. I also request information on any emotions they want to be captured. This goes beyond the shot list because some couples want to see the range of emotions felt across the entire crowd of guests, from laughter to happy tears."
