Planning your wedding photography

Begin with what you care about.

Before building a photography timeline, think about the photographs that will matter to you: the people you want close, the ceremony, a few minutes alone together, or the dance floor. Your priorities should shape the plan.

Give portraits a little breathing room.

Moving between locations, gathering family, and settling into a portrait all take time. A bit of room between events helps you feel present instead of hurried. We can work with your planner to make photography fit naturally into the day.

Make a short family list.

Write down the family groupings you want and share any important relationships I should understand. Choosing someone who knows your people to help gather them can make this part of the day easier.

Talk through the light and locations.

Your ceremony time, the season, and the venue all affect where and when portraits work best. We’ll discuss the options together rather than treating one timeline as the right fit for every wedding.

Leave room to enjoy your day.

Some of your favorite photographs may happen between the formal parts: a hug, a glance, a laugh with an old friend. A thoughtful plan gives those moments room to happen.
