I recommend that if there are special pictures that you want to make sure I get, make a list and give it to a friend or relative who can remind me and check them off. Since I am using both hands while operating my camera, I find it difficult and time consuming to refer to a list while shooting. I will be constantly asking the couple and relatives if there are any other pictures they would like, and I am on alert for any interesting candid shots as they may occur.
