Day of ?

eseney82 · August 2012

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?

Here's my timeline for the day of:

12pm Hair starts

1pm Photographer Arrives. End of hair, Makeup begins

2 - Dress Goes On.

2:30 First look.

2:45 Bridal Party GroupPics

3:15 - Portraits of Bride and Groom

4:30- Family Pics

5- Rest before ceremony

5:30 Ceremony

Don't know what my FI is doing...I'll probably tell him to get there at 1 (just to be safe) and to be ready to take pictures by 2.
