How to Plan a Wedding Timeline That Actually Flows

Hey there, soon-to-be newlyweds!

Before we dive into sample timelines, here's something we always want to remind our couples:

You are not expected to be glued to your timeline on your wedding day. A timeline is a helpful guide — especially for your photographer and coordinator — but your only job that day is to be present. To feel, to breathe, to laugh, to cry. To live it.

Having a day-of coordinator (or someone playing that role) who can stay mindful of the schedule allows you to stay out of the logistics. We structure our timelines with intentional buffer time so the day has room to breathe. If things shift a bit, it’s okay. You’re not late. You’re living it.

Now, here’s what a well-structured day can look like…

Creating a detailed timeline

Crafting a wedding timeline is like piecing together a puzzle, where each piece fits perfectly to create the bigger picture of your special day. We understand that every wedding is unique, and that's why we're all about customization. From the size of your bridal party to whether you choose to have a first look, and the time of your ceremony, various factors influence how your day unfolds.

Our 8-hour package is our most popular choice, offering flexibility to accommodate a range of timelines. It gives us ample time to capture the moments that matter most and helping the day flow seamlessly, allowing you to enjoy every moment without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. To help you get started, we've crafted a standard timeline that you can tweak and tailor to your liking. This serves as a helpful template, offering structure while leaving room for spontaneity and those unexpected, moments.
