A free tool that builds your wedding day photography timeline based on your specific setup. Use it as a working draft to share with your venue and other suppliers.
Dress, rings, shoes, bouquet, invitation suite, perfume
Private moment before ceremony — produces some of the most emotional images
Best to do these before the ceremony when light is softer and you are still fresh
Plan for 25 minutes. Family member coordinates the list.
Short 15-minute pull-away for golden hour frames
Best speeches happen during or just after dinner
Most weddings book 8–10 hours of coverage. This is around the 9-hour mark.
This is a working draft. Every wedding is different — your timeline should be tailored to your specific venue, family, and the rhythm you want for the day.
For a personalised timeline, book a consultation and we'll build it together.
Share it with your venue. Most venues need a working timeline 4–6 weeks before the wedding for catering and setup planning.
Share it with other suppliers. Hair and makeup artists, florists, transport — everyone benefits from knowing the day's rhythm.
Build in buffer time. The timeline above assumes everything runs on schedule. Add 15-minute buffers around major transitions.
Adjust for your venue's constraints. Cathedral ceremonies have fixed times. College weddings have hard end times. Outdoor weddings depend on golden-hour light.
First looks change everything. The single biggest variable in a wedding day timeline is whether you have a first look. Highly recommended for couples whose ceremony is at 14:00 or later.
