Frequently asked questions
Why give the photographer a shot list?
A list protects the two things nobody gets back: time and people. Group shots and family combinations are the ones most often missed.
How long should a shot list be?
Thirty to forty items. Longer lists get abandoned, and they squeeze the candid moments that are usually the best pictures.
When should I send it?
One week before, addressed to the photographer and copied to your coordinator — and again the day before, printed.
Do ticks save if I close the page?
Yes, they are stored in this browser only. Screenshots are the safest way to share the list.
Can I add my own shots?
Yes — type them into the extra shots field, separated by commas.
Should I include posed family groups?
Yes, and name the combinations explicitly (for example 'brides' grandparents with both families'), because those are impossible to improvise on the day.
