Do we need to give you a shot list?
We get this question a lot! And honestly? No, you don’t have to.
Why We Don’t Rely on Shot Lists
When it comes down to wedding shot list vs candid moments, candid always wins! We’ve photographed more than 350 weddings in 10 years, and every single one has taught us that the most meaningful images come from being fully present, not from checking boxes.
Back in the early 2000s, when weddings were still shot on film cameras with only 24–36 frames per roll, shot lists were crucial. Every frame counted, and photographers had to plan carefully to ensure nothing was missed. Today, with digital photography, we’re not limited in the same way, allowing us to capture every authentic, fleeting moment without missing a beat.
If we’re chasing a Pinterest-style list, we could miss your father’s quiet tears after the first look, your grandmother’s gentle hands adjusting your veil, your best friends laughing during portraits, or you two sharing a private kiss when nobody’s looking.
Those in-between moments are what make your wedding story one-of-a-kind.
Trust us - we’ve got you.
Of course, we’ll always make sure your family photos are done, and if you have a dream shot in mind, we’ll capture it. But beyond that, your day deserves to be documented with freedom, artistry, and heart. Each celebration is special, and your photos should capture that magic.
