WEDDING DAY GENERAL TIMEFRAME OF SHOTS

With over 12 years of experience, we’ve created a general timeframe for specific shots based on our unique shooting style. While this serves as a helpful guide, it’s important to note that every wedding is as unique as the love it celebrates. Other photographers or videographers may have different approaches, and no two weddings are ever the same.

We encourage all of our couples to prioritize the moments that matter most to them. Our goal is to capture and tell the story of your day while focusing on those meaningful moments that make your wedding truly yours.

That said, the timeframes below are designed as a reference and do not account for variables such as:

  • Gathering details for specific shots
  • Travel or relocation time between locations
  • Rounding up key individuals
  • Weather challenges
  • Willingness of participants to be photographed

Despite these factors, we are committed to ensuring your day runs smoothly and capturing the memories that mean the most to you. Let’s make magic happen together!
