Build your wedding day timeline.
Answer a few quick questions for an hour-by-hour plan built around your ceremony and the light.
A calm wedding day starts with a real timeline.
Answer a few questions and we’ll build yours.
When does your ceremony start?
The anchor for your whole day. If you don't know yet, pick your best guess — you can adjust later.
When does the reception end?
Send-off time, last dance, or when your venue kicks you out. We'll plan coverage from getting-ready all the way through.
Doing a first look?
Seeing each other privately before the ceremony. Buys back ~45 minutes of your day and usually makes better portraits.
What season?
Sunset time drives your golden-hour window. Big difference between January and July.

What makes a timeline actually work.
Give the wedding party an earlier call time
Tell your party to arrive 15 to 20 minutes before the real start. Someone always runs behind, and that cushion keeps the morning calm instead of frantic.
Cocktail hour is portrait gold
Some of the best portraits happen right after you're married, while the champagne is flowing and you're glowing. Steal 15 minutes during cocktail hour, then go enjoy your guests.
Guard your golden hour
The hour before sunset is the softest, most flattering light of the day. Block it for couple portraits and let your planner know nothing bumps it.
Leave room to breathe
Small gaps before the ceremony, after dinner, and before the exit are not wasted time. The unplanned minutes are usually where the realest photos happen.
Timelines that breathe always photograph better.
The couples whose photos we love most aren't the ones who stuck to the schedule perfectly. They're the ones who built in enough slack that a stolen 10 minutes with their grandmother became the photo of the night.
"The best photos of the day never happen when they're scheduled. They happen in the 10 minutes you forgot to schedule anything in."
