What photos should I be sure to get at my wedding (not hiring a pro)?



We're going pretty inexpensive at my wedding and so not hiring a professional photographer. I'm going to hand my pretty decent camera off to a friend or family member to get shots (I'm in the "prosumer" range myself but can't really photograph my own wedding :) ), but I'd like to whip up a list of shots to get, i.e. vows, walks down the aisle, closeup of rings being slid onto hands, etc. I'm afraid if I don't specify at least a little it will be several of the same shot. The people I'm considering will be find with such a list, so if you're a professional photographer (especially wedding) or have experience from a wedding, lemme know what shots I'll want but might not be thinking of.

P.S. We're putting disposable cameras on the tables at the reception, so I think we'll have a good amount of group shots from that.

Sorry for being out of order.
hire a pro after paying for all the develloping you will need it may end up cheaper
my dad and his new wife didnt have a pro. either so i made a list of what pics would need to be taken like with parents and kids. wedding party that kind of thing.
This is mark's wife. Think about what moments from your big day that you are going to want to see again years from now. In my case from my first wedding we had a lot of shots of different versions of family. I now wish we had just taken 3 my family his family and a group. The sisters, brothers inlaws ect.. reduntdant and unessiary. Be sure to get some photos of the two of you by yourselves, after all this day is about you two. Good luck with everything. Here is a tip that you didnt ask for but I wish someone had told me. Something will go wronge relax and go with it years from now it will be a funny story.
i would hire a pro just for the wedding and give them a list of just certain shots you want...each bridesmaid as they walk down the aisle...rings on fingers..lighting unity candle..then after the service the wedding party standing on the alter the parents with the couple and such then let the guests use the disposables and also give your camera to someone to get shots of the garter toss and so on...
Ask for some of these:
1. Pre-wedding shots of getting ready of bride and groom (separate shots)
2. Going down the aisle shots of bridesmaids, bride, any and all attendents and the moms
3. Shot of the wedding if the pastor will allow it during the ceremony
4. Shots of bride and groom leaving
5. Make list of the most importnat people there that you want photos of and ones you want photos with. Be very detailed or you will miss out!
6. Formal shots of wedding party with pastor after the wedding.
7. Parents shots with bride and groom
8. Shots of presenting of the bride and groom at the reception
9. Shots of first dance, cutting the cake, toasting each other
10. Shots of bride and groom greeting guests
11. Shots of bride and groom saying good bye
12. Shots of the wedding guests waving good bye.

Be sure to add in that you want candid shots of all of your guests, too. Maybe this list will help. My daughter got married last year and my son this year. :)
Best wishes to you!
