01 · THE REAL PROBLEM

The shoot starts long before you pick up the camera.

Where are they getting ready? When does the ceremony start? Who is wrangling the family formals? When those answers live in a text thread from three months ago, shoot day turns into a scramble. Vignette turns planning into one shared plan that you, your client, and your crew can all see.

02 · SEE IT WORKING

Plan it once. Share it everywhere.

Timelines, questionnaires, and light planning live on the booking—so the plan, the people, and the details never drift apart.

01 · IN THE APP

Know exactly when to leave

Give each moment a real address and Vignette works out the drive between them—church to park, park to venue—with a “leave by” time for you and your crew. No more guessing whether portraits at the gardens will make you late for the ceremony.

  • Estimated drive time between verified addresses
  • A leave-by time for every move
  • Team assignments on every moment
Timeline moments at the church and reception with a 7 minute drive from portraits, an 11 minute drive from family formals to the reception, and a leave-by time for each move

A run sheet everyone can open

Share the timeline and Vignette creates a mobile-friendly day-of run sheet for your client, family, crew, and venue. The night before, it is emailed to your client and active team automatically.

  • Public run sheet page with a copyable link
  • Emailed at 6 PM in the event’s time zone the night before
  • Stop sharing anytime; sharing again restores the same link

  • Golden-hour bands on the 7-day calendar

04 · WHAT IS INCLUDED

What Vignette shoot planning includes

Vignette is shoot-planning software for photographers. Build a reusable event timeline, put your team on every moment, share a day-of run sheet with clients and crew, collect answers through planning questionnaires, and schedule around sunrise, sunset, and golden hour.

05 · THE HONEST FIT

Choose the fit. Not the pitch.

VIGNETTE MAKES SENSE FOR

  • Wedding and event photographers running full-day timelines
  • Studios coordinating second shooters and assistants on the day
  • Location photographers who plan around natural light

LOOK CLOSELY IF YOU NEED

  • Planners who need a full event-planning suite for vendors and guest lists
  • Teams that need live location tracking on the day

What Vignette does not pretend

  • Travel guidance needs recognized addresses; freeform labels such as “bride’s house” are skipped.
  • Light times are planning guidance based on the verified studio or chosen location.
  • Editing a timeline template does not change timelines already added to bookings.
  • A timeline can be shared once the booking has been sent and has an active client link.

06 · STRAIGHT ANSWERS

The questions worth asking.

Want every detail? Read the guides:

Plan a booking timeline Send a client questionnaire Use the calendar
Can I share a wedding-day timeline with my client?

Yes. Sharing a booking timeline creates a mobile-friendly day-of run sheet with a link you can send to the client, family, crew, or venue. You can stop sharing at any time.

Does Vignette send the timeline automatically?

Yes. A shared run sheet is emailed to the client and active team at 6:00 PM in the event’s time zone the night before, and linked team accounts get an in-app reminder.

What can a planning questionnaire ask?

Questions can take text, yes-or-no, choose one, choose multiple, date, or time answers, with optional required flags and helper text. The questionnaire appears as a task on the client’s booking page.

How does golden-hour planning work?

Vignette shows morning and evening golden hour, sunrise, and sunset for the verified studio location, or for any address and date you check in Sun Tracker. The seven-day calendar shades golden hour as well.

How much does Vignette cost?

Every plan includes every feature. Capture is $35 per month with 250 GB of storage, and Focus is $50 per month with 1 TB. While the limited Unlimited offer lasts, you can get unlimited storage for $35 per month.

Do I need a credit card to start the free trial?

No. The 30-day free trial includes every feature and does not require a credit card to start.

Can I bring my existing clients with me?

Yes. Import contacts from a CSV or JSON file. Vignette previews the import and flags likely duplicates before anything is created.
