Timeline of your day

You’ll often create a timeline with your venue, but if you’re planning the day yourselves, I’m always happy to help with suggestions. Below is a 'general' guide on where photography fits into your wedding day — though I’m completely flexible and will adapt to your timings and plans.

Bridal & Groom Prep

Depending on your package, I usually arrive around two hours before the ceremony. If you’re both getting ready nearby, there’s plenty of time to capture: venue details, dress, suit, accessories, flowers, natural, candid prep moments, and final touches of hair and makeup.

Ceremony

I’ll head into the ceremony around five minutes before it starts to capture guests being seated and to get into position. My approach is always unobtrusive, so I can document the moment as naturally as possible.

Reception

After the ceremony, you may want a confetti tunnel — I’m more than happy to organise this while you enjoy a drink. If you go straight into reception drinks, I’ll capture natural, candid moments of your guests while you mingle.

Group Photographs

If you’d like group photos, I usually recommend doing these around 30 minutes into the reception. This keeps the flow natural and gives you a moment to relax first. My aim is always to keep group photos smooth and efficient so you can get back to enjoying time with your guests. (See the full guide below.)

Wedding Breakfast

Speeches often take place either before or after the meal. I’ll capture them naturally, focusing on reactions, emotion and storytelling moments. I don’t photograph guests while they’re eating. During this time, I’ll be nearby, backing up your images and taking a short break.

First Dance, Cake Cutting & Evening

A few hours after the meal, you may have evening guests arriving, a cake cutting and your first dance. I’ll be there to capture all the moments, followed by dance-floor photos into the evening.
