Frequently Asked Questions
A wedding day timeline is a detailed schedule that outlines every activity from getting ready in the morning to the last dance. It helps you, your vendors, and your wedding party know where to be and when.
Share your timeline with: photographer, videographer, DJ/band, planner, venue coordinator, hair/makeup artists, wedding party, parents, and officiant. Everyone should know the schedule.
Couple portraits: 30-45 minutes. Wedding party photos: 45-60 minutes. Family formal photos: 30-45 minutes. First look (if doing one): 15-20 minutes. Build in buffer time for delays.
A first look is when the couple sees each other privately before the ceremony, typically 2-3 hours before. Benefits: more time for photos, calmer nerves, and flexibility in your timeline.
Most ceremonies are 20-30 minutes. Religious ceremonies may be 45-60 minutes. Keep it concise - guests appreciate shorter ceremonies, especially for outdoor weddings.
Build 15-30 minute buffers into your timeline. Prioritize must-have photos and moments. Your photographer and planner can help adjust on the fly. Stay flexible and don't stress!
