Keep in mind that the wedding timeline will be unique for every couple. So be sure to work on yours based on your own schedule. There are some standard timelines that I will share below that will definitely help your big day run with ease.
1. Start your preparations at the earliest, especially if you plan to have an intimate videography session before the ceremony. Be ready and dressed at least 40 minutes prior to leaving. This will allow the videographer to focus on capturing some beautiful moments. If your bridesmaid is also getting ready, don't forget to factor in that time as well. Ensure to reach the ceremony location a few minutes in advance.
2. After the ceremony, keep the family photos for a limited duration, you will also have an opportunity for photos with your guests at the reception, especially the candid and fun ones at the dance floor.
3. Invite your guests for the cocktail hour while you two and your bridal party can escape for some post-ceremony session with the videographer. This will give you a much-needed break. If the ceremony and reception are planned in different locations, don't forget to factor in the traffic time.
4. Grand entrance and cutting the cake
Timings will work great if you go from your grand entrance right to cake cutting (if you are following the tradition). Check the catering services timings to avoid the food being served at the same time to avoid distractions.
6. Set aside time from the reception to have the golden hour filmed. This offers incredible natural lighting infused with beautiful cinematical flair.
7. First dance and party
Following your first dance, invite all your friends and family members to join you at the dance floor. 1-hour of videography coverage is an excellent time to capture beautiful moments of you having fun with family and friends.
