Features

Everything you need on shoot day

PerfectShotList handles the logistics so you can focus on the photography.

Guided couple survey

Send each couple a short link. They add family units and people — no spreadsheets, no back-and-forth emails.

Optimised shot ordering

Our algorithm minimises the number of people entering and leaving frame between consecutive shots. Less shuffling, more shooting.

Strategy presets

Couples pick "All", "Balanced", or "Minimal" — the system generates and filters the shot pool to match their style.

Editable shot list

The generated list is a starting point. Couples and photographers can add, remove, and reorder shots with drag-and-drop.

Day-of wrangler app

A mobile-first PWA your wrangler opens on their phone. Tap through shots one by one — who joins, who leaves, what to look for.

PDF + share link

Print a clean PDF for the day-of binder, share a live link with the couple, or both.

How it works

Four steps to a perfect shoot

1

Create an event

Add the couple's names, date, venue, and any notes you want them to see.

2

Send the survey

Copy the magic link and send it to the couple. They fill in family units and pick a strategy.

3

Review the shot list

The couple reviews and tweaks the auto-generated shots. You lock the list when it looks right.

4

Shoot on the day

Open the wrangler app, tap through each shot. Mark them as captured, skipped, or retake.

Testimonials

Photographers love it

I used to spend 30 minutes on group shots and still miss combinations. Last wedding I was done in 12 minutes with every shot ticked off.

Sarah Mitchell

Wedding photographer, Melbourne

The couple loved filling out the survey — they said it made them feel involved in the planning. And I got a perfectly ordered list without lifting a finger.

James O'Brien

Wedding photographer, Sydney

My second shooter used the wrangler app while I was doing candids. She said it was like having a cheat sheet for every shot.

About

Built by a photographer, for photographers

PerfectShotList was born out of frustration. Every wedding, the same chaos during group shots — printed lists that don’t account for transition time, family members wandering off because they don’t know when they’re needed, and a photographer trying to direct 40 people while losing golden-hour light.

We asked a simple question: what if the shot list itself was smart enough to minimise the shuffling? Turns out the answer is a well-known class of optimisation problem — and it works beautifully.
