Here's a sample of an ideal photography timeline like the one I’ll make for you!
This is recommended for 8-10 hours, or 12 hours if you're doing a grand exit. It is a starting place to make sure you get all the photos you need and will leave you room to relax to really enjoy your perfect day! Based on all our years of experience, this is what works best for us!

Details/Getting Ready
1.5-2 hours
Your big day begins with the details! They take a bit of time to style and arrange, and we take the greatest of care to make sure everything looks perfect. You’ll want to remember all the little details you picked out for this day and getting you attire on!

Travel Time
15-90 minutes
The most common travel time in your timeline is from the getting ready location to the venue, but there may be travel to multiple locations throughout the day. Be sure to add some buffer time for traffic when planning out your timeline.

Separate Wedding Party Photos
45 Minutes
Since you’ve decided not to do a first look, we want to save on time by doing some of the  wedding party photos before the ceremony! Don’t worry, we will keep you and your partner apart! Tim will take portraits of one side and Marisa the other! After the ceremony, we will take photos of the whole group together immediately following the family photos.

Individual Portraits of You and Your Partner
30 Minutes
Still keeping you and your partner separate, we will take portraits of you each individually, capturing details of your attire and your personal florals,

Set Up Details
30-45 Minutes
It is important to set aside time on the schedule so we can capture these ceremony AND reception set up and room design details, because these are the things that get moved, disrupted, and/or changed around when guests arrive for the event. 

Ceremony
20-60 Minutes
Ceremony timing totally depends on what type of ceremony you want to have! More about ceremonies here.

Cocktail Hour
90 Minutes
During cocktail hour, we will photograph your family, capture a group shot of your entire wedding party and finish up with your newlywed photos!

Family Photos
20-60 Minutes
The timing here depends on the size of your families! We kindly ask that you restrict family photos to immediate family (grandparents, parents, and siblings) but we realize that many people have complicated families. We will either interview you about your specific family needs or request you fill out our family information form, then we can build your custom shot list for your approval. We usually recommend doing the family photos right after the ceremony.

Whole Wedding Party Group Shot
5-10 Minutes
Please instruct your wedding party to stay with us for the family photos immediately following the ceremony. That way they will be ready to go as soon as we finish and we can capture the whole group together in several different posed and candid shots.

Newlywed Portraits
45-60 Minutes
If we are being honest, all of the wedding day images are important, but your portraits are definitely top of the list. These photos are ALWAYS our favorite, because they tell the story of your love, which is what brings your friends and family together that day! If you did an engagement session, you will be more comfortable and loose in front of the camera, and the process will flow more naturally. If you didn’t, it helps to take a bit more time to allow you to relax and capture candid moments.

Reception
2-4 Hours
Again, the timing here depends on your guest count and what you want captured at your reception.
