Reasons Why a Shotlist Does Not Need to Be Provided to Your Wedding Photographer



The internet is filled with lovely wedding photography inspiration. It can be easy to get caught up in the wedding excitement and forget that your own wedding will present completely unique photography opportunities.

Your professional photographer will know how to present an exclusive collection of photos, and does not need to be provided with a shot list for your big day. Therefore, providing you with confidence that each element of your wedding will be creatively captured.

We believe that your wedding album should be flawless and exclusive to you and your partner! That’s why, here at Joseph Hummel Photography, we have put together a few reasons as to why a shotlist does not need to be provided to your wedding photographer. To learn what these reasons are, be sure to continue reading:

  • Contributing Creativity. When an artist is restricted to drawing only a list of items, their creativity and masterpieces are kept from blooming. This is the same for your photographer. When you limit the shots that you want, or have them so busy creating the shots you listed, you lose out on the artistic photos they can capture with their own creativity.

  • Excellent Experience. Your photographer has captured many lovely weddings, and is very familiar with the ins and outs of the job. They have the experience to back up their skills, and it will shine within your album if you let them take their reins. Have confidence that you photographer knows what they are doing, and will present you with a unique collection of images. By letting them take control, their experience will certainly shine!

  • Outstanding Organics. Your big day will be filled with unexpected moments that will forever contribute to the ambiance and memory of your wedding. When you don’t require a shotlist, your photographer has more time and freedom to capture outstanding organic moments. While posed photos are also beautiful, the raw and real beauty of the relationship that you and your partner share will be highlighted through organic images.

Your wedding collection can be exclusive to you and your partner when you trust your photographer! These are just a few of the many reasons why. Here at Joseph Hummel Photography, as a wedding photographer in Lake Tahoe, we would be grateful to creatively capture your big day.
