Start a project with a Wedding starter

Wedding Desk is currently in alpha. Access is limited to a very small invited test group while core workflows are still incomplete. These guides describe what is available now; the broader beta has not started yet.

What this article covers

A Wedding starter is an optional project-creation shortcut. It pairs one built-in or saved Timeline template with one saved Moments preset.

Where Wedding starters are managed

Open Timeline templates in workspace settings. Under Wedding starters, choose a name, a Timeline template and a Moments preset, then click Save starter.

You can rename, duplicate or delete saved Wedding starters. Existing projects do not change when a starter, preset or template is later renamed or deleted.

Start a project

  1. Open Create project.
  2. Enter the couple names, wedding date and any known location.
  3. Choose a saved Wedding starter.
  4. Click Create project.
  5. Review the preselected Timeline template.
  6. Confirm the required Timeline anchors.
  7. Review any first-look conflict and every calculated or Needs confirmation moment.
  8. Click Apply template when the result fits the wedding.

What the Wedding starter prepares

The Moments preset becomes the starting value for Moments & priorities. These are starting choices, not a submitted answer.

The Timeline template is preselected when the new Timeline opens. The photographer still reviews its anchors and explicitly applies it.

What a Wedding starter does not do

A Wedding starter does not:

  • submit Intake or create an Intake response
  • create or accept Shot List suggestions
  • create Timeline moments before Apply template
  • remain live-linked to the project
  • update existing projects when the starter, preset or template changes

Tips & suggestions

  • Use a starter for a repeatable starting structure, not a finished wedding plan.
  • Keep the paired Moments preset general enough for a new couple to review.
  • Resolve every Needs confirmation moment before relying on the Timeline.
