ShutterPrep: Photo Plan & Sync

Plan every photo shoot with confidence. Build timelines with reference photos, create checklists, manage locations sync to your calendar. Know what you're capturing.

ShutterPrep is the essential planning companion for wedding and event photographers. Whether you're organising a multi-location wedding or a quick portrait session, ShutterPrep keeps every detail at your fingertips so you can focus on capturing the perfect shot.

PLAN WITH CONFIDENCE
Create dedicated projects for every shoot. Add your client's name, date, shoot type, and notes in seconds. ShutterPrep supports weddings, portraits, corporate events, engagements, and more. A simple four-stage workflow moves each project from Upcoming through to Completed and Archived.

SMART CHECKLISTS & TEMPLATES
Build custom checklists with time-based labels: Before, During, and After. You always know what to do and when. Save your favourite lists as reusable templates and apply them to new projects instantly. Never forget a must-have shot, a key piece of gear, or a critical preparation step again.

LOCATION DETAILS AT A GLANCE
Add multiple locations to each project with addresses, venue types, and notes. Open directions in Apple Maps, Google Maps, or Waze with a single tap. Perfect for multi-venue wedding days.

FILE ATTACHMENTS
Attach reference images, visual inspiration documents, contracts, and shot lists directly to your projects. Capture new photos with your camera, import from your photo library, or add documents from Files. View images full-screen with pinch-to-zoom, or browse PDFs right inside the app.

PROJECT TIMELINE
Build a step-by-step timeline for your shoot day. Add times, titles, and descriptions for each moment, from getting-ready through to the last dance. Export your timeline as a beautifully formatted PDF to share with clients, second shooters, or venue coordinators.

CALENDAR SYNC
Sync your shoots directly to your iOS Calendar with one tap. ShutterPrep creates detailed calendar events with your project name, locations, and notes, so your schedule is always up to date.

DRAFT AUTOSAVE
Start creating a project and come back to it later. ShutterPrep automatically saves your work as a draft, so nothing is ever lost.

WORKS OFFLINE, ALWAYS
ShutterPrep is built offline-first. Every feature works perfectly without an internet connection. Create projects, tick off checklists, add attachments, and review your timeline on location, even with no signal. Your data is stored locally on your device and always available when you need it.

iCLOUD SYNC
When you are back online, your projects, checklists, and attachments sync seamlessly across all your Apple devices via iCloud. Start planning on your iPhone, review on your iPad. Everything stays in sync automatically.
