How to Use This Template
This template helps you plan and track the key shots needed at an event. It includes categories for must-have shots (ceremony, first dance, cake cutting, group formals, venue details), client-requested shots, nice-to-have opportunities (candids, behind-the-scenes, creative portraits), a timeline aligned with the event schedule, equipment notes for each setup, and lighting considerations.
Fill it in during the planning consultation with the client. Ask specifically what moments matter most to them and whether there are particular family groupings they want photographed. Number each shot and check them off during the event so you don't miss anything critical. Include the timing — if a group shot needs 30 extended family members gathered at 3pm, coordinate with the event planner.
A shot list is your safety net against the "but we didn't get a photo of Grandma with the couple" conversation. It also helps manage time — weddings especially run on tight schedules, and knowing exactly what you need to capture at each stage prevents frantic catching up. Share the list with the event coordinator and any second shooters so everyone's aligned.
