Wedding Photo Shot Lists: Why They Aren't So Great
Wedding Photo Shot Lists: Why They Aren’t So Great. Why I and many photographers aren’t fans of lengthy “shot lists”, why they are sometimes bad for couples, and exceptions to them that we do want.
I’m a wedding film photographer based in San Diego, serving worldwide. My passion is educating…

I love weeping willow trees and there is a beautiful one on the venue property. I would love to get a shot in front of that tree if time allows and lighting is appropriate. I plan to mention to the photographer.
This was validating, all those recommended lists felt really weird.
Having attended so many weddings, I can tell from the guest perspective stagged photos like a fake "grand exit running under sparklers" is so annoying. You want me to stop dancing and drinking to stand outside in the cold darkness holding a sparkler for twenty minutes, for a fake exit? 🙄
I really love your work… Do I have a chance to be given a Preset ?
I love window shots and stained glass windows – I did ask my photographer if we could get some pictures in front of those since I have a historic venue, but that's it 🙂
really good to know!
Trusting vendors is so important, I’m glad you always mention this. Let people do their jobs lol
One less thing I have to worry about haha! But really, the main shots I want to make sure I have are family pics and also some with friends.
How do you recommend informing your photography that you want some photos with people who aren't in your bridal party or family? Like a group of college friends at the reception?
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who doesnt like obviously staged, not in the moment wedding photos.
This is really good to know. I must admit that I probably would have created a shot list for my photographers had I not seen this.
