Every feature free, for every session type. No account needed, no card, nothing to upgrade.
Event type, ceremony time, coverage hours, first look, one location or two — takes under a minute.
A complete day-of timeline and shot list built from proven wedding photography templates — no AI, no waiting.
Click any line to edit it. Copy as text, print to PDF, or send clients a clean read-only link.
Weddings, elopements, engagements, proposals, maternity, family, newborn and senior sessions — each with its own templates and shot phases. Nothing is held back behind a tier, and it never asks for a card.
The tools that turn one-off timelines into a repeatable planning system. All of it free — make an account and keep up to five plans.
Your logo, studio name, and accent color on exported PDFs and client links — the plan looks like it came from you, because it did.
Keep every booking in your dashboard. Build a plan once, duplicate it for the next similar wedding, and tweak the details.
Send couples and planners a clean, read-only page with your branding. No login, opens on any phone.
Export the day as an .ics calendar file, run a per-event-type gear checklist, and keep planner/venue contacts on the plan.
Type in the family names and get standard groupings as a ready-to-shoot list, with the formals block on the timeline resized to match.
Hair and makeup ran over? Shift the rest of the day by any number of minutes in one click — golden hour gets re-checked automatically.
A who-covers-what table generated from your actual timeline, so your second knows where to be during the first look and the reception.
Sunset math for the venue's actual location and timezone, flagged right on the timeline — so couple portraits land in the best light of the day.
Beyond weddings and elopements: engagement, proposal, maternity, family, newborn, and senior templates — each with session-length options, its own shot list, and portrait-light timing.
Every feature is included for everyone — all eight session types, golden-hour timing, branded PDFs, client share links, the family formals builder, second-shooter splits and the day-of view. Make a free account and you can keep up to five saved plans. There is no paid tier and nothing to cancel.
The site runs on donations. Hosting and the domain come out of my own pocket, so if it saved you an hour of spreadsheet wrangling and you feel like chipping in, anything at all is genuinely appreciated. If not, use it anyway — that is the point.

Enter the basics of the shoot — event type, ceremony time, hours of coverage, whether there's a first look, and one location or two — and ThePhotogPlan instantly builds a complete day-of timeline and shot list you can edit, copy, print, and share.
A photography timeline typically covers getting-ready coverage, the first look (if any), ceremony, family formals, wedding-party and couple's portraits, reception events, and golden-hour photos — all timed around the ceremony and your coverage hours. ThePhotogPlan lays these out automatically.
