How to Plan Your Wedding: Photography Timeline Explained

Have More Time To Celebrate With Family and Friends!

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! Amidst the excitement, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed when thinking about how to allocate your precious time on this special day.

Do you want to cherish moments with your family and friends without feeling rushed or overshadowed by your photographer? Many couples share your concerns, wondering if they’ll miss out on the joy of their celebration while managing their photographer’s time.

Imagine a wedding day where you can fully immerse yourself in the celebrations, laughing, dancing, and creating memories with loved ones, all while ensuring your photographer captures those unforgettable moments seamlessly. 

One of the questions I get asked by couples is ” How much photography time do we need”? 

And you should be asking that because after your wedding day, you don’t want any regrets wondering if you should have had more time the have what is important to you captured. 

Planning your photography timeline is key to achieving this balance. From the start, I discuss your priorities with you, which most photographers don’t do. 

Together, you can create a schedule that allows for meaningful portraits without cutting into your celebration. Remember, your wedding day is about you enjoying the moment—not just getting your picture taken! With the right planning and a supportive photographer, you can ensure that your special day is as magical as you’ve envisioned. Let’s make it happen!

Understanding Your Wedding Photography Experience You Don’t Want. 

Are you excitedly planning your big day? The last thing you want to deal with is an unexpected headache when it comes to photography. Many photographers operate on the same system that can leave couples feeling blindsided. Initially, you receive a standard pricing guide and pay a deposit to secure your date. However, this often results in a long silence until just weeks before your wedding.

Suddenly, you find out that the five hours you’ve paid for might not be enough to capture all the moments you envisioned. Just two weeks before your wedding, you’re faced with a request for additional funds to extend these hours. This surprise can create unnecessary stress, dampening the excitement you should feel as your special day approaches.

Imagine preparing for a celebration and suddenly dealing with extra costs, affecting both your plans and your budget. 

This is why I communicate openly with you from the start, ensuring you understand the package and what it includes. By addressing these concerns early, you can avoid last-minute surprises, allowing you to focus on what truly matters—celebrating your love!

Capture Every Moment: Crafting Your Photography Timeline

When planning your wedding, a well-structured photography timeline is essential for capturing the day’s magic. 

Start by considering these moments of your day

  • Travel time between locations often gets overlooked but is crucial for a smooth flow. 
  • Prioritise the details you care about rings, invitations, your stunning dress, and heartfelt love letters. 
  • Plan for ample time to get ready
  • The ceremony
  • Group and portrait shots. 
  • Reception
  • Exit Plan

Listing what matters most to you personalises your timeline, making sure your unique love story shines through. No two weddings are the same and either is your timeline. 

As I include film photography throughout your wedding day. I always suggest allocating extra time to change my roll of film out, ensuring we do all the main photos and then capture artful images that you will love.
