Getting Ready

1:30 PM

Bride + bridesmaids depart for ceremony location

IV

1:45 PM

First Look

Note: The First Look can take place at the getting ready location, ceremony, or reception location. It’s up to you! Although we’re happy to make recommendations.

The ceremony takes place

V

2:00 PM

Bride & Groom + bridal party portraits

VII

3:30 PM

Family Portraits

Note: We do family portraits right after the ceremony because everyone you need will be easy to grab. If you can give your family notice that we’ll be taking pictures immediately after the ceremony, that will also ensure that no one wanders off. We’ll help you create a list of family portraits before the big day. 

IX

5:15 PM

Cocktail Hour

Note: The great thing about doing a First Look is that it gives you more time at cocktail hour. We’ll grab some pictures of your guests while you enjoy the hour.

Dinner

Note: Welcome toasts & salads followed by speeches and entrees is always a good way to go to keep the day flowing.

Additional Bridal Party and Bride & Groom Portraits

Note: Depending on what was taken before the ceremony, we might grab 1 or 2 more full bridal party shots. At the very least, we’ll grab a few shots of you at the ceremony site.
