Photo-specific
Timelines

Arguably the most important thing I do to help your day go SUPER SMOOTH is create a custom timeline for you! Your planner will help make your overall, super detailed timeline for your entire event, but the one I make goes over all the photo ~moments~ that make up your day! 

to simplify, we break up the day in sections:

pre-ceremony

Details & Getting Ready

This starts right when we arrive! We'll say hello, have a brief freak out moment that THE DAY IS HERE, then grab your details and be out of the way for the next 30-45 minutes! AJ usually pops in to get the super candid moments in the getting ready room while I style all your details in a different (well lit) room!

Once the details are done, your partner has arrived, and it's time to get things going! This is when you get dressed, so AJ and I will split up to capture you both at the same time. If you want to exchange letters or arrange a first look with your dad and/or bridesmaids, that will happen here.

First Look + Portraits

Pretty self explanatory! Your first look, couple portraits, wedding party portraits, and immediate family portraits will happen here. Basically all pre-ceremony portraits that we want to knock out!

ceremony

Ceremony + Family Formals

Again pretty self explanatory! This time includes capturing your pre-ceremony details, the ceremony itself, and the longest 30 minutes....family formals! 

Post ceremony

Reception, Sunset portraits, Open Dancing

After family formals, we are way less hands on and just capturing the day as it happens! This time includes the remaining portion of your cocktail hour, sunset couple portraits, reception activities (getting misty thinking about your first dance rn), open dancing, and all the way to your controlled or natural send off! 

Below are two sample timelines of our most common coverage times! A good rule of thumb is to start your ceremony time at least 1.5-2 hours before sunset for the most ideal light!
