How to Use This Template
This questionnaire gathers everything you need from a photography or videography client before the event. It covers event type and details, key contacts on the day, venue access and restrictions (some churches ban flash, some venues restrict drone use), detailed timeline and key moments, style preferences (candid, editorial, documentary, traditional), must-have and nice-to-have shots, group photo list with names, and any sensitivities (family dynamics, no-photo guests, restricted areas).
Send this 4-6 weeks before the event and follow up if you don't hear back within a week. The answers feed directly into your shot list and event plan. Pay particular attention to restrictions — some venues charge for commercial photography, and drone use requires CAA registration and venue permission. Note family dynamics carefully: divorced parents, estranged siblings, and step-family situations all affect group photo logistics.
This questionnaire saves hours of back-and-forth emails and prevents awkward surprises on the day. Knowing that the bride's parents won't stand together, or that the groom's brother is camera-shy, lets you plan around sensitivities rather than stumbling into them while 200 guests are watching.
