DAY OF DETAILS
The more thorough planning we do beforehand, the more you can go on ‘autopilot’ the day of your wedding and simply stay present! I’ve created a sample timeline below to help you visualize the flow of your wedding day as it pertains to photography. We’ll chat about any unique needs/wishes you may have on your consult call, and then we’ll go over your timeline together several weeks before your wedding to make sure we’re on the same page and ready to go.
