It's not a real contact sheet, just a cut-and-paste thing I did on my photo editor software for the photog, which fits on 1 page. My must-takes aren't that cool... but hopefully, if I get at least these, I might be happy. Do you think I'm crazy?

You're not crazy, thats a great idea. I was thinking about doing the same thing myself, rather than just describing what I want. After all, a picture is worth a thousand words.

That's a GRAND idea, and I'm definitely stealing it from you!

Who's your photographer by the way?

Oh, thank goodness. I thought I was mad. Please steal away! I'm happy that you are. At least, I'm not alone!

ChristineAE -- I don't have a photog yet. FH's daughter (she's 21) is an amazing photographer and agreed to do them. So I would be lucky to have her! But I'm not sure I want to put her out.

Don't put her info out there if you're not comfy doing so...but definitely post her work (with her permission of course) - I absolutely love seeing photographer's portfolio's, most especially weddings.

I already booked my photographer, but always look at what else is out there.

Thanks, Christine! Yes, I'll ask her to consider posting her work. I was meaning that I didn't want to put her out during the wedding.. If she's taking photos, she might not enjoy her time.

By the way, I'm thinking of buying an inexpensive dress to wear to jump in the lake, & not ruin that gown I had made!!!!!!!

You can always take pre-wedding photos! I know the Chinese culture does this!

You can get an inexpensive dress and do the lake shot and other things!

OK. I didn't know how else to do this, so I printed out each photo that I stole off the net. Then scanned each one, using my scanner & photo editor software. Then re-sized each photo smaller & copy/pasted each onto one new 8 1/2 x 11 photo-editor document. I hope that's helpful!
