Wedding photography timeline ideals will always vary for any numbers of reasons—schedule changes, cultural or religious traditions, etc. Even so, having a good idea of approximately how long portions of the wedding take to photograph, can make planning your overall wedding timeline (with your wedding planner) much simpler.
The recommendations below are just that. While we are trying to provide a range of information, it’s your wedding. You pick and choose what you would and would not like and adapt it to your wedding timeline.
With everything practically perfectly in place right after preparation, this is a great time to get individual portraits of the bride and groom. Things aren’t too ramped up yet, so the more relaxed vibe in the air will help create some beautiful shots.
The aim is to capture magnificent images with colorful skies. If your wedding is downtown or in an area with tall buildings, the specific time frame is not as important (but it still helps). Please note that if you book your venue because of a spectacular view, it’s fundamental to follow this advice in your timeline.
