Go through your day and tick the photos you want. You get a one-page list to print and give to whoever is taking them. It takes about two minutes.
Especially useful if a friend or guest is taking your photos rather than a professional.
Your names and the date print at the top of the list. Then tell us who you have asked to take the photos.
Allow about an hour - most of this happens while you get ready
Check what your venue allows - some do not permit photos during the vows
Everyone is in one place for ten minutes - the easiest time for a big group photo
Allow twenty minutes, and ask someone to round people up for you
Ten minutes on your own, easiest straight after the group photos
Ask for the room to be photographed before anyone sits down
The lights will be low, so ask for photos taken close up
Nothing is ticked yet, so there is nothing to print.
Photos you did not give to anyone in particular appear on every list, so nothing gets missed.

It is the list of photographs you want taken on your wedding day, written down in advance and grouped by when they happen: getting ready, the ceremony, group photos, the two of you, the reception and the evening. Professional photographers work from one, and it matters even more if a friend or guest is taking your photos, because it is the only thing standing between you and a missing photo of your grandmother.
Yes. No email address, no account, no sign-up. Tick the photos you want, add anything particular to your day, and download the PDF. You are welcome to print it, share it and hand it to whoever is holding the camera.
Between 40 and 60 lines is the sweet spot. Fewer and you start missing obvious moments, more and nobody reads it on the day. Group photos are the exception worth being strict about: keep those to eight or ten named groups, because each one takes about two minutes to gather and photograph.
Yes, and it usually works better than asking one person to cover everything. Add each person by name, say who is covering which part of the day, and you can download a separate one-page list for each of them. Nobody ends up holding a phone for nine hours, and nothing falls between them.
Yes, and that is the point of building your own. Nothing is ticked to start with, so you only ever end up with the photos you actually asked for. A list that mentions grandparents who are no longer with you, a bouquet you are not carrying or a first dance you are not doing is worse than no list at all.
Print two copies. One for whoever is taking the photos, and one for the person rounding people up for the group shots, usually a bridesmaid, usher or a confident relative who knows everyone by name. A phone note is not the same, because their phone will be busy taking the pictures.
A photographer sends you a few hundred photos, months later. Your guests take thousands more on the day, and most of those stay on their phones. One link on the table brings them all together.
Nothing to download. Guests scan a card on the table and send photos straight from their phone.
Sorted for you. Photos are grouped by who is in them, with the blurry and repeated ones taken out.
No limit. Every guest, every photo, at full quality.
Yours to keep. Download the lot in one go, or make a photo book from the best ones.
