Pre-wedding planning for working photographers

Turn scattered couple notes into a wedding-day plan you can actually shoot.

Paste the questionnaire, call notes, family requests, and venue timeline once. Shotlist Sage returns a family formal shotlist, timeline risks, must-capture reminders, and follow-up questions before details slip through.

How the workflow stays operational

Prep the wedding before the timeline starts moving.

The first output is built for the week of the wedding: what family groupings to stage, where the timeline is fragile, what image reminders matter, and what to ask the couple before arrival.

  • Paste the messy source notes.

    Questionnaire answers, timeline text, family grouping wishes, ceremony travel notes, and venue constraints all work together.

  • Generate one planning pack.

    The model is called only when you submit the notes. Repeat the same input later and Shotlist Sage reuses the saved plan instead of burning another call.

  • Walk into the wedding with the missing details surfaced.

    Use the follow-up list to tighten family logistics before the day starts.

What the app returns

A planning pack shaped around wedding pressure points.

Family formal shotlist

Grouped by household, remarriage complexity, and time-sensitive VIP combinations.

Timeline risks

Compressed portrait windows, travel conflicts, sunset timing, and buffer gaps called out directly.

Must-capture prompts

Culture-specific details, heirloom requests, and story beats that are easy to miss under time pressure.

Couple follow-up

Questions to resolve before the wedding day instead of improvising them on site.

For the solo lead shooter

Use it when the questionnaire lives in one doc, family requests are buried in email, and the timeline keeps shifting.

For the studio associate

Turn a handoff packet into the exact questions you still need answered before call time.

For the elopement specialist

Catch travel sequence and portrait-lighting constraints before a sparse timeline starts collapsing.
