The more we plan ahead, the more you can relax and fully enjoy your wedding day without worrying about the details. To help you visualize how photography can fit into your day, I’ve created a sample timeline below. During your consultation call, we’ll discuss any specific needs or wishes you have, and then we’ll review your final timeline together a few weeks before your wedding to ensure everything runs smoothly.
1:30-2:15 Heirloom Details
Flat lay arrangements of the couple's jewelry, attire, rings, invitation suite, etc.
2:15-2:45 Finishing Touches
Bridal robe shots, hair/makeup touch up, getting dressed, personal portraits, etc.
3:00 First Look

I’ll be there to guide you through the day, capturing all the love, laughter, and happy tears along the way. Your love is special and worth investing in, celebrating, and documenting.
