Your Wedding Day Photography Timeline
A sample timeline for full-day coverage, so you know how much time to actually block off for photos.
Every wedding is different, but this is the general shape of a full-day Celebrations24 photography timeline. We build your exact version of this together before your wedding.
Detail shots (dress, rings, invitations, shoes) and candid hair/makeup moments for both getting-ready locations.
A private first look lets us shoot most couple portraits before the ceremony, freeing up time later for cocktail hour.
Fun, relaxed group shots with your wedding party, ideally scheduled before the ceremony if a first look is planned.
Quick, organized group photos using your prepared shot list, while everyone is still dressed and in one place.
Full ceremony coverage from prelude through recessional, positioned to stay out of your guests’ sightlines.
Candid guest moments while you may be finishing portraits or enjoying a private moment together.
Grand entrance, first dance, toasts, cake cutting, and parent dances, called out in coordination with your DJ/MC.
A short break during sunset for a few extra couple portraits in the best light of the day, if timeline allows.
Candid reception energy through your last dance and grand exit.
