The Wedding Photographer's Guides & Checklists Collection
Walk into every wedding prepared, calm, and ready for the moments that matter.
Wedding days don’t come with do-overs. The ceremony happens once, the first kiss happens once, and grandma might only be up for one round of family photos. This collection gives you the planning tools and field references I rely on, so you can stop worrying about what you might miss and start being present for what’s happening in front of you.
Inside are five guides, organized in the order you’ll use them:
The Ultimate Wedding Photographer’s ChecklistA field guide for the whole day, from pre-wedding intel to final file backups. It covers what to confirm with the couple and planner, what to scan before every transition, and how to protect your images after the last dance.
The Wedding Day Timeline BuilderBuild realistic wedding day timelines that give every moment room to breathe. Includes my starting time allowances for details, getting ready, first looks, portraits, family formals, and golden hour, plus how to plan around ceremony times, travel, and sunset.
The Wedding Day Shot ListA story-first shot list organized by chapter of the day. Every shot is labeled Essential, Story, or If Planned, so you cover the must-haves without photographing the day on autopilot.
The Family Formal Shot List & OrganizerA name-first system for fast, stress-free family photos. Each line equals one photo, with real names instead of “Mom” or “Bride’s family,” so whoever is calling groupings knows exactly who belongs in each frame. Family photos move faster, and relatives can get back to the party.
The Photographer’s Gear ChecklistA practical packing list sorted into Core, Backup, and Conditional gear, so you bring what you need for the venue, light, and weather without overpacking or forgetting the spare battery.
