This guide is designed to navigate you through planning your wedding photography timeline. As someone who has photographed over 100 weddings, I promise, I won’t stere you wrong. Recognizing that each wedding is unique, we emphasize the importance of a tailored approach. Word of advice, always keep the logistics of location and timing when creating these time stamps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Firstly, imagine a picture perfect wedding at a popular resort in Palm Beach. Every event from the preparations to the reception unfolds within its expansive grounds. Translated in English means getting ready, ceremony and reception will all be in the same location. Still, this setting not only offers a cohesive aesthetic but also simplifies logistics, allowing for a seamless transition between events. However, when the getting ready location, ceremony, and reception are spread across different areas of town, the wedding photography timeline should adapt to accommodate travel time. This will ensure photography coverage is continuous, comprehensive plus leaves nothing off the table. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Setting the Scene:<\/strong> The bride and groom have chosen a popular resort for their wedding. They opt for a cohesive experience by hosting all events on-site. This decision simplified logistics significantly, allowing for seamless transitions between the day’s various phases. It’s a Jewish wedding<\/a>, incorporating traditions like the ketubah signing and a first look. The chosen date is November 4, 2023. Based on this site<\/a>, sunset was scheduled at 6:39pm. With photography coverage scheduled from 12:30 pm to 12:30 am, we meticulously planned around the sunset to ensure optimal lighting for portraits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Details (invitations, dress, etc.): 30 minutes<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Getting ready (bridesmaids and bride PJ and Robe shots) : 20 minutes <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Putting on the Dress and Solo Bride Shots in room: 30 minutes <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n First look with dad\/brother(s): 15 minutes<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n First Look with Bride and Groom: 15 minutes<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Bridal Portraits (Bride and Groom Photos): 60 minutes<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Bridal Party Photos: 15 minutes<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Family Formals: 30 minutes<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ceremony: 60 minutes<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Cocktail Hour: 60 minutes<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Reception: Roughly 90 minutes<\/em> which includes First Dances, Speeches, Cake Cutting and Dinner<\/p>\n\n\n\n Party: 90 minute<\/em>s + depending on your coverage and any after party to follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some other things people include in their timeline that you might also want to include!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Father’s First Look: 15 minutes<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Bridesmaid Reveal: 15 minutes<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\nIdeal Amount of time for each portion of the day<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
