Having a shot list at a wedding is an essential and is what you really need to make it a success.

You’ve all heard about Wedding Photographers taking ages and this can be put down to several factors. Probably the highest factor would be a shot list that was too long or the absence of a shot list all together. A shot list is a plan.



This is why in my opinion it it better to keep the shot lists short and sweet.

When you are putting together your shot list you should run it in decreasing order of importance so that if it needs to be cut short then you know the important ones are in the bag.





What are the key take aways from this:

Shot lists are essential to effectively manage time on your wedding day.
Shot lists make sure you get all the important pictures that you want.
If you are going to have a long shot list then you must make time to accommodate it.
Email your shot list to your photographer so that you have a copy if needed. Paper copies can be lost accidentally 😉
