let's get to the logistics

timeline consultation

 

Planning a wedding day can be overwhelming.

BUT WITH A LITTLE HELP, IT CAN BE A LOT MORE MANAGEABLE! COMPLETE THE QUESTIONS BELOW. BASED ON THE INFORMATION PROVIDED, I WILL DRAFT A SUGGESTED TIMELINE OF WEDDING DAY EVENTS THAT MESHES THE WANTS AND NEEDS OF THE DAY INTO A TIMELINE THAT FLOWS WELL WITH PHOTOGRAPHY COVERAGE!

Some helpful tips before you begin


There are no right or wrong answers. Every wedding is unique, and your timeline should reflect what matters most to you.


It's okay if you don't know exactly what time you want things to happen yet. Some times may or may not be flexible, or set in stone already -  we will work with what you want!


Prioritize what matters most. The more I know about what's important to you, the better I can recommend where your time is best spent. If there's something you're especially excited about—or something you don't really care about—tell me!


I've photographed over 100 weddings, and I'm here to help! I'll make recommendations based on lighting, travel time, the season, and my experience to help your day feel relaxed rather than rushed.


At the end of the day, your wedding isn't about checking every box or following someone else's timeline. It's about celebrating your marriage with the people you love. My job is to help you preserve those memories while making the photography experience as enjoyable and stress-free as possible.

This questionnaire helps me create a photography timeline that fits your wedding day. You don't need to have every detail finalized! Just answer what you know, and we'll figure out the rest together.

TRAVEL TIME BETWEEN LOCATIONS IMPACTS PLANNING/TIMING.

TRAVEL TIME BETWEEN LOCATIONS IMPACTS PLANNING/TIMING.

BEFORE THE WEDDING DAY I WILL REQUEST A SPECIFIC LIST OF GROUPINGS - THIS JUST HEPS DETEMINE HOW LONG THEY MIGHT TAKE. MORE PEOPLE = MORE TIME! PEOPLE MOST COMMONLY CHOOSE IMMEDIATE FAMILY + GRANDPARENTS. DO NOT FEEL OBLIGATED TO INCLUDE EXTENDED FAMILY MEMBERS BECAUSE OF OUTSIDE PRESSURE - THIS IS YOUR WEDDING DAY!

*

THIS CAN IMPACT FAMILY PHOTO PLANNING/TIMING.

*

IF UNKNOWN, PLEASE ESTIMATE. EX: 3 BRIDESMAIDS, 3 GROOMSMEN, 1 FLOWER GIRL.

*

SOMETIMES EACH PARTNER DOES PHOTOS WITH THEIR SIDE OF THE WEDDING PARTY PRIOR TO CEREMONY, IN ORDER TO HAVE A LATER CEREMONY. *EX: BRIDE WITH BRIDESMAIDS*

*

STANDARD GROUPINGS INCLUDE: FULL PARTY TOGETHER, EACH PARTNER WITH THEIR PARTY, INDIVIDUAL WITH EACH MEMBER OF THEIR PARTY

SOME COUPLES CHOOSE TO INCORPORATE THEIR FIRST DANCE INTO THE GRAND ENTRANCE.

SUNSET PHOTOS ARE OFTEN SOME OF THE BEST IMAGES FROM A WEDDING DAY, AS MOST OFTEN WE ARE IN HARSH SUNLIGHT THROUGH MOST OF THE DAY. SUNSET COUPLES PHOTOS OFTEN END UP BEING SOME OF MY COUPLES FAVOURITE IMAGES - PLUS THEY CAN SNEAK OFF FOR A BREATHER AND SOME QUIET BEFORE THE PARTY GETS GOING. Sunset portraits are often some of my couples' favourite images.

*

WEDDING TRADITIONS AND EXPECTATIONS DO NOT HAVE TO BE FOLLOWED - IF THERE IS SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT FOR YOU, SKIP IT!

*

EX: GIFT EXCHANGE, FLASH MOB, RECEPTION FIREWORKS, ETC...

*

INSPIRATION FROM PINTEREST (SHARE THE LINK!), SPECIAL SURPRISES, ANY MEANINGFUL HEIRLOOMS/LOCATIONS/MOMENTS YOU WANT TO BE DOCUMENTED, OR UNIQUE IDEAS - I'D LOVE TO HEAR IT ALL! AND I MEAN ALL OF IT - I ONCE ENDED UP ON A FLOAT PLANE WITH A COUPLE TO HAVE THEIR CEREMONY ON A SECLUDED ISLAND IN THE MIDDLE OF A LAKE! AFTER FILLING THIS OUT, ANOTHER COUPLE DECIDED TO ELOPE, AND PUT THEIR PACKAGE TOWARD AN ELOPEMENT IN SCOTLAND I DOCUMENTED FOR THEM INSTEAD! SHARE ALL THE THINGS :D

Thank you for taking the time to complete this questionnaire. Your answers give me a much better understanding of what matters most to you, allowing me to help you create a photography timeline that is personalized to your wedding day. Once I've reviewed everything, I'll put together my recommendations, and we can fine-tune any details together. Or you can totally disregard and do your own thing. Either way, I can't wait to help bring your vision to life and capture your day in a way that feels true to you both.
