FIRST LOOK | Your Timeline

Up until this point, the timeline looks pretty similar to a day with no First Look. I’ ll still arrive in plenty of time to photograph your details and reception space( if reception space is in an alternative location). 2:00- FIRST LOOK
I will find the perfect location for my couple’ s First Look prior to the getting ready portion of the day! Don’ t stress about that one bit! I will make sure the location is private and as secluded as possible.
2:15- 2:45 PORTRAITS
After the bride and groom take their time with the First Look, I will begin taking a few romantic portraits of the two of them while the initial excitment is still present! I will find the locations for these shots as well! Remember, the LIGHT determines where we shoot and so I can’ t decide on portrait locations until the day-of. As we shoot these portraits, the bridal party can start making their way to us for Bridal Party portraits!
2:50- 3:20 BRIDAL PARTY PORTRAITS Now it’ s time for Bridal Party shots! I buffer in extra time throughout the day just in case we have some unexpected things that hold us up! One way to make sure we stay on schedule for bridal party portraits is to have someone put the boutonnieres on the guys BEFORE they arrive for portraits. During Bridal Party portraits, I will be sure to include both formal and fun shots!! 3:30 BRIDE IN HIDING 4:00-4:20 RECEPTION DETAILS If Ceremony and Reception are in the same location 4:30- 5:00 CEREMONY 5:15- 5:45 FORMAL FAMILY PORTRATS
