Why this exists
Great work isn't the problem. The process is.
You rebuild every wedding from scratch
New couple, new timeline, new shot list, new email — written again from nothing. The work is good. The overhead is brutal.
Things slip on the day
A card that didn't get formatted. A family group nobody wrote down. A second shooter who didn't know the plan.
Delivery drags
Weeks go by, the couple chases you, and the referral you should have earned quietly evaporates.
What's inside
A system, not a pep talk
Everything is a file you can use on the next booking — not theory to read once and forget.
-
01
Inquiry & Booking
Enquiry reply scripts, the consultation call structure, pricing conversation, and the contract and deposit sequence that closes without chasing.
-
02
Pre-Production
Timeline templates, venue walkthrough notes, family group lists, vendor contact sheets, and the questionnaire that surfaces problems early.
-
03
Gear & Team
Equipment prep and card protocol, backup discipline, second-shooter briefing, and role assignments so nobody guesses on the day.
-
04
Wedding-Day Production
Hour-by-hour coverage plan for photo and video running in parallel — getting ready, ceremony, portraits, reception, and the moments people forget to shoot.
-
05
Post-Production
Ingest and backup workflow, culling and edit order, delivery timelines, and the gallery handoff that gets shared instead of ignored.
-
06
After Delivery
Review requests, referral asks, album follow-up, and the anniversary touch that turns one wedding into the next three.

Who it's for
Built for working wedding creatives
This is for you if
- You shoot weddings and want the admin to stop eating your week
- You're adding video to photo, or photo to video, and need them to run together
- You're bringing on a second shooter and need them briefed properly
- You're good at the craft and tired of being disorganised around it
This isn't for you if
- You want camera settings and lighting tutorials — this is business and workflow
- You've already got a system that runs itself
- You're looking for a magic pricing formula rather than a process
From Connery
I wrote this because I needed it. Seventeen years in, running separate photo and cinema teams across Los Angeles, the difference between a good wedding and a stressful one was never the gear — it was whether the process was written down. This is that process.

Questions
Before you buy
What format is it?
A digital PDF you download immediately after purchase. Read it on screen or print the checklists and take them on the shoot.
Is this for photographers or videographers?
Both. The whole point is that photo and video run in parallel on a wedding day. If you only do one, the other sections still show you how to work alongside the team that does.
I'm just starting out. Too early?
No — it's the best time. Building the habit on wedding three is far easier than unpicking bad process on wedding thirty.
What do the free checklists include?
Engagement shoot prep, equipment and card protocol, wedding-day photo and video coverage, and post-production workflow. It's a genuine section of the system, not a teaser.
