I have a confession to make. I am an organization junkie! But I want it to look pretty. I have purchased planners and then thrown them out because I messed up 1 page. Okay, maybe this obsession is borderline OCD. Because of this, I usually find myself creating digital checklists, use my online studio management system and try really hard not to create too much extra busy work.
Sometimes, as a photographer, I get asked for referrals on vendors, timelines, etc. and I think a lot of that is because your photographer is with you for SOO much of your day and can help guide you on how/when to plan. I’ve created an incredibly simple checklist and downloads to help you create your own Wedding Planning Book.
What you’ll need to build this planner is (Or just download my free printable and write all over them on your iPad Pro):
