FOR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS

The wedding photography timeline your couple signs off on, and your second shooter actually reads.

And the call sheet your second shooter actually reads. Your couple fills in one form, you get the day hour by hour, the family photo list in shooting order, and their approval in writing.

How it works

On their phone. No account. Ceremony time, venue, who's who in the family. It saves as they go, so the 9pm texts land in one place.

We build the wedding day timeline

We read the mess.

Free-text family notes become clean groupings, in shooting order, with names. And we highlight the traps for you: divorced parents, people to keep apart, a list that won't fit the slot.

SIGNED OFF

When the wedding day runs late, you have it in writing.

Your terms, approved and timestamped.

The ceremony started 40 minutes late. The couple portraits got squeezed. Three weeks later, a review says you rushed them.

You open the timeline they approved on Sep 24 at 9:41pm, with the line that says “Ceremony delays will come out of portrait time.”

Every edit creates a new version that goes back for approval. Old versions stay on record.

CHECK THE LIGHT

Sunset, checked against your family formals.

Add the date and venue when you build the wedding. Hitchproof checks sunset against the ceremony and photo slots, then flags a plan that runs into low light before you send it.
