Your wedding day is a whirlwind of emotions, laughter, and unforgettable moments. As a photographer, I know the importance of capturing not just the ceremony itself, but the entire story – from the nervous anticipation of getting ready to the joyous celebration with loved ones.
But with so much happening, how do you ensure you get the perfect photos without feeling rushed? The answer lies in a well-crafted wedding photography timeline.
This guide will walk you through a wedding day photography timeline, offering a flexible framework to capture all the magical moments, big and small. Remember, this is just a starting point – we can tailor it to fit your unique wedding flow!
