Wedding Photography Route and Location Planning Checklist

Route planning is not optional

Most day-of delays are caused before the first photo is taken: wrong entry route, missing location details, or no backup plan for blocked roads.

Pre-shoot route checklist

• Export primary and backup routes in navigation with estimated times.
• Confirm venue access points and gear entry options.
• Set no-fail backup locations for portraits and group shots.
• Lock a check-in window and assign a backup contact for each stop.

Small routing detail removes a big chunk of day-of stress and protects the timeline for clients, vendors, and family.
