Sample Wedding Day Timelines
When it comes to coverage, we are very flexible. We understand planning a wedding is a process. If you book a package with us and later want to adjust coverage or add a service, that is not a problem. You can even extend coverage the day of if needed. Our 6 and 8 hour packages are most popular but we will gladly build a package tailored to your needs. If you want 9 hours of photography coverage and 7 hours of videography coverage, just let us know!
After booking with us, we will create your personal wedding detail page where we help you build your shot list and will ensure you have the correct amount of coverage booked to capture all your important moments.
Below are some helpful tips to consider when planning your wedding timeline.
Wedding Timeline Planning Tips:
- As you're planning your timeline, don't forget to fit in at least 30 minutes where you and your fiancé are alone with the photographer and/or videographer. This is best when planned within 2 hours of sunset and located outdoors. The lighting will be perfect, and it's likely these will be your favorite wedding day photos and videos!
- We love family photos and want to make sure to get all the combinations that are important to you! In order to do this efficiently and effectively, we advise that you write out a list of the family shots that you would like captured. Here is an example:
• Bride, Groom, Mother-of-Bride, Father-of-Bride, Sally
• Bride, Mother-of-Bride
• Bride, Father-of-Groom
• Bride, Groom, Mother of Groom, Father-of-Groom, Rhonda, Joe
• Groom, Father-of-Groom
• Groom, Mother-of-Groom
• Bride, Groom, Deanne, Jack
- As you write out your timeline, don't forget about transitions. If it takes 20 minutes to get to the reception hall from the church, plan at least 30 minutes for that transition.
- If you want to do a first look, plan to do this at least an hour before the ceremony starts so that you aren't rushed.
- If you do not have the budget for a second photographer but want photos of both the bridal and groomsmen parties getting ready, this is possible. We can help you create a staggered timeline which will allow for one photographer to capture both parties. You might need to add a little extra coverage time, but it will still be cheaper than adding a second photographer for our 4-6 hour minimum.
