What if it rains on our outdoor wedding day?
Outdoor ceremony in late spring. There's a 30% chance of rain in the forecast. Venue has a tent option but it costs $1,400 extra and isn't the look we wanted. What do photographers actually do for rain?

How detailed should our shot list be?
Our photographer asked for a "must-have shot list" and I'm not sure if she wants every uncle named or just the broad strokes. Don't want to over-direct her but also don't want to forget my grandmother.

Do we need a second shooter for 100 guests?
Photographers keep upselling us a second shooter. Our wedding is 100 guests, single venue, no transit between ceremony and reception. Is the extra $800 worth it for our size?

Do we really need to do a first look?
My fiancé wants to wait until the aisle. My mom and the photographer both think we should do a first look. We're going back and forth. What's the actual case for and against?
