Today’s my first day back in the office after holiday vacation and I’m already so sad Christmas is over:( How does it go by so fast??? Since I’m busy today preparing for my first 2013 wedding (yay Becca and Matt!!), I thought I would share with you guys my new wedding day items checklist. Last year I struggled with forgetting things (it was always something small, but something I wished I had with me) so I decided to write out a physical checklist to go over both the day before the wedding AND the morning of before I leave. You know that feeling you get when you know you’re forgetting something but you can’t remember what? I don’t want that to happen to me this year! I’m sure this list will probably change as the season goes on, but for now I think this is a good start and for the most part everything on the list is something I have to have.
Wedding day checklist:
Shooting bag (Kelly Moore):
- Main camera body
- Getting ready lenses (50 1.2 & 35 1.4)
- Formatted CF cards
- Client File (with timeline/contract/contact info/etc)
- Extra camera battery
- Business cards
- Gum
- Snack
- Backup camera body
- CF card reader
- Portable external hard drive
- Additional lenses
- Battery charger
- Laptop & charger
- Cleaning cloth
- Flashes
- Flash batteries
- Emergency kit (super glue, safety pins, bobby pins, band aids, aleve, etc)
- Bottled water
- Extra Snacks
- Extra outfit (you never know!)
- Comfy shoes
- Light stand
- Nice hanger (in case the bride forgot to get one)
- Umbrella (hoping to buy a clear bubble umbrella this year!!)
- GPS/driving directions
Good idea….I should definitely make one of these for myself!
Which Kelly Moore bag do you use? I have the Juju for carrying all of the “extra” gear (flashes, big lenses, etc.) and then my B-Hobo holds the main body, macro lens, 35mm and 50mm for getting ready, swap the 35 for 85 for portraits.
girl. you read my mind. was searching and found a $17 bubble umbrella at Tar-Jay.
love it! what kelly moore bag do you have? likes/dislikes? I’m torn between that and jo totes :/ ah! great list girl!
Love my b-hobo!
i should probably have a list… i just take every single thing i have that goes with my camera haha
