FLOW is the professional visual timeline built for wedding photographers. It supports you as you plan the day and as you move through it. Your gear is professional. Why is your timeline still a static document? Wedding days are alive and constantly changing. A static timeline can tell you what was planned. FLOW helps you navigate what is actually happening, so your creative energy goes into the people in front of you instead of remembering what comes next. WHAT FLOW DOES Builds a smart foundation for the day. Enter the couple, the date, and the locations. FLOW lays out the standard blocks of a wedding day, from getting ready through the reception, with travel and light already in mind. Reminds you what is next. On the wedding day, FLOW shows what is happening now and what comes next, and counts you into each moment. Adjusts in seconds as the day changes. Running late? One tap compresses or shifts the rest of the day while ceremony, golden hour, and other fixed moments stay locked in place. Keeps inspiration connected to the moment. Save poses and ideas to boards, then attach them to the exact block where you will need them. Keeps the whole team in sync. Share a read-only copy of the timeline with second shooters, video teams, and planners, or export a clean PDF for the couple. ALSO INSIDE Golden hour and blue hour calculated for the venue. Wedding day notifications for the moments that matter. A pose gallery from working wedding photographers, with your own uploads alongside. Member bonuses from partners who work with photographers. A wedding day in motion needs more than a static timeline. Stay present. Create. FLOW offers an auto-renewing monthly subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase and renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings. Terms of Use: https://www.shoottheveil.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://www.shoottheveil.com/privacy-policy
