Yup. Nope.

I worked it all into the Day Of timeline.

My wedding is at 2:00.

All attendants are to be dressed and ready at the church by 12:30 ( that way hopefully everyone will be ready by 1:00 when my photographer arrives.)

Pre wedding photos are starting at 1:00.  We are not doing a first look session. We are taking pictures me with my BM and FI with his GM.

We are not doing a receiving line, so at 2:35 we are doing post wedding photos. At 3:00 we will be done and head to the reception. When we get there we will take a few out side because the reception site is very pretty.  We will do first dance ( photos) at 3:15

Through out the night my wedding planner has time out all the important photo points, like dances, cake cutting, toast, etc...  so everything will get done while my photographer is there.

I just gave my photog the chunks of time we have set aside for pics and lettering her figure out her specific timeline. That's what I'm paying her for...

I think it is great that you all have photography outlines figured out already. I just messaged my photographer asking her to prepare an outline. I am getting married in 20 days and she had not even mentioned all the times for different sets of photos. I am very thankful for this discussion posting!

Congrats all on your big day!
