Wedding Desk is currently in beta. These guides describe the workflows that are available now. Some articles are still being expanded with fuller instructions, screenshots and video.
What this article covers
Use gear templates to start from a reusable packing structure instead of rebuilding the gear list every time.
What templates are for
A template is a starting point. It should match a kind of work, not a single wedding.
Examples of useful gear structures:
- photo coverage
- video coverage
- hybrid photo/video coverage
- half-day coverage
- full-day coverage
- ceremony-heavy weddings
- travel or multi-location days
Steps
- Open the project.
- Go to Gear Preparation.
- Open Templates.
- Choose Use standard template if it fits the project.
- Choose Load template if you have your own saved template.
- Review the loaded gear list.
- Add or remove items for this wedding.
- Click Save.
- Use Save as template when this structure should be reused later.
What happens after loading a template
Wedding Desk adds the template structure to the project gear list. The loaded list becomes project gear and can be adjusted for this wedding.
What to check after loading
Always review:
- critical items
- batteries and chargers
- memory cards and storage
- audio gear for video
- lighting and support gear
- backups
- timeline-specific gear
How this connects to the day plan
Gear can support On The Day and Share / Print output. If gear is needed only for a specific timeline moment, link it when that option is available.
Tips & suggestions
- Save templates for repeatable setups, not one-off weddings.
- Do not assume a template is ready without checking it.
- Keep your project gear list realistic enough to use on the wedding day.
