Build your wedding Blueprint
A complete guide to the Blueprint, the eight-chapter planning workspace where you teach Skytona the people, places, timeline, story, audio, and permissions that shape your film.
Your Blueprint, explained
The Blueprint is the planning workspace inside your wedding portal. It is one living plan, split into eight short chapters, where you tell us everything that matters about your day: who is who, where things happen, what the timeline looks like, and which moments deserve extra care.
Instead of scattering details across emails, texts, and phone calls, everything lives in one place that both you and the Skytona team can trust. When something changes, you update the Blueprint, and the whole team is working from the new answer.
You will find it under the Planning tab in your portal. Each chapter shows its own progress, so you always know what is finished and what still needs a decision.
Your Blueprint
Why every answer matters
Skytona uses your Blueprint to understand the real shape of the day. Names, relationships, locations, ceremony flow, family dynamics, audio priorities, and privacy preferences all change how we prepare.
A wedding film crew that arrives informed works differently than one that arrives guessing. We know who to quietly follow during toasts. We know the grandmother who traveled from overseas. We know which family moments need a careful hand and which surprises must not be spoiled.
The better your Blueprint, the less you have to explain on the wedding day itself, and the more the finished film feels like it was made by someone who knew you.

The eight chapters
Each chapter covers one part of the plan. Together they give Skytona the full picture: the people, the schedule, the geography, the story, the sound, and the boundaries.
- Couple Profile & Decision MakersWho you are, how to reach you, and who can make calls when you are busy getting married.
- Coverage Plan & TimelineWhen coverage starts and ends, and how the day flows from getting ready to the last dance.
- Locations & LogisticsEvery address we need, plus parking, access notes, and anything tricky about the venues.
- People & Must-Film ListThe names and faces that matter most, and the moments you would be heartbroken to miss.
- Vendor Team & CoordinationYour planner, photographer, DJ, and the rest of the team we will be working beside.
- Story BlueprintYour story in your own words: how you met, what this day means, and the tone your film should carry.
- Audio & MusicVows, letters, speeches, and the voices that need to be captured clearly.
- Media, Permissions & DeliveryPrivacy boundaries, sharing permissions, and how you want your finished work delivered.
How to work through it
The Blueprint is not a test, and it is not a form you have to finish in one sitting. It is designed to be filled in over weeks as your plans firm up.
- 1Start with what you already knowYour names, contact details, and venue are usually locked early. Knock those chapters out first and enjoy the progress.
- 2Move chapter by chapterEach chapter is short and focused. Answer what you can, skip what you cannot, and nothing is lost when you leave.
- 3Come back as decisions landBooked your DJ? Finalized the timeline with your planner? Take two minutes and drop it into the Blueprint while it is fresh.
- 4Watch the progress rings fillEvery chapter shows how complete it is, so you can see exactly what still needs attention at a glance.
Short answers are welcome
A clear sentence beats a blank field. You can always add more detail later.
Honesty helps us protect you
Family dynamics, divorced parents, sensitive guests: telling us is not gossip, it is how we avoid awkward moments on camera.
Your answers are private
The Blueprint is visible only to you and the Skytona team. Nothing in it is ever shared or published.
Plans can change
Every answer can be updated as the day gets closer. The Blueprint is a living plan, not a contract.
As the wedding gets close
In the final stretch, your Blueprint becomes the source for your Event Brief: the confirmed plan Skytona prepares for the wedding day itself. You will be asked to review it and confirm the details are right.
If something changes after that point, a new ceremony time, a venue switch, a surprise you just planned, send it through Support in your portal so the team sees it quickly. Late news we know about is easy. Late news we discover on the day is not.
Do we have to finish the Blueprint in one sitting?
No. Progress saves automatically, and you can return as many times as you like from any device. Most couples fill it in gradually over several weeks.
What if we do not know our timeline yet?
Skip it and keep going. Fill in the chapters you can, and come back to the timeline once your planner or venue confirms it. The Blueprint is built for exactly this.
Who can see what we write?
Only you and the Skytona team. Planning details never appear anywhere public, and permissions you set in the final chapter control how any finished work is shared.
Can we change answers after our Story Call?
Yes. The Story Call and the Blueprint work together, and both can evolve. Just update the Blueprint when something changes, and flag big changes through Support if the wedding is close.
Your sign-off matters
When you approve the Event Brief, you are confirming Skytona is working from the right plan. Take the five minutes to really read it. It is the single highest-leverage review you will do.
Still have questions?
Contact Skytona or open the right portal.
The public help center explains the why, the what, and the next step. Project-specific details should stay in your portal.
