Shop / Prompts & Skills / Wedding Photography Shot List Questions — AI Skill for Photographers' Client Intake

Family formals: the overrun is decided weeks earlier

Portrait time at a wedding rarely runs out during the portraits. It runs out beforehand — when nobody confirmed which groupings are must-have, how long the portrait window actually is, or whether the venue allows the shot everyone is picturing. Three questions, asked at intake, guard the whole session. They are the real opening of our shot-list questions skill:

STATUS: READY
CLIENT QUESTIONS:
- Which grandparents and groupings are must-have for the portraits?
- What time window is confirmed for portraits after the ceremony?
- Has the venue confirmed whether photography under the garden arch is allowed?
SOURCE CHECK:
- Grandparents and arch: CLIENT_SHOT_NOTES.
- Time uncertainty: CONFIRMED_DAY_FACTS.
- Access uncertainty: VENUE_NOTES.

Sample data above is fictional, shown so you can judge the output before buying.

Each question guards a specific failure

• Which grandparents and groupings are must-have — the portrait list is settled while it can still be reordered, not discovered in front of the family
• What time window is confirmed for portraits after the ceremony — the session is planned against a real window, not the hopeful one
• Has the venue confirmed photography under the garden arch — access is a venue decision, and finding out on the day helps nobody

What the intake never does

It never confirms timing or access on the couple's behalf. Each question is anchored to a supplied unknown — client shot notes, confirmed day facts, venue notes — and when sources contradict each other, the skill returns HOLD resolution questions instead of a tidy list built on a conflict. The settled answers become the shot list; the unsettled ones stay visible until they are answered. Our earlier guide, Must-Have Wedding Shot Questions to Settle Before the Day, covers the full intake; this page is about the three questions that protect the clock.
