Day of ?

eseney82

Im filling out a rough timeline for my photographer, and have a few questions.  If you are taking all pics before hand, how long have you allotted for that, Im thinking 2 hrs will be plenty of time.  They also need to know what time the Groom is getting ready.  Do any of you have a schedule for the guys?
