Planning guide

Wedding Photo Moments to Plan For

A short list of the photo moments most couples wish they'd planned for in advance. And how to make sure your timeline allows them.

First look

Even ten minutes of private time before the ceremony changes the rest of the day's energy.

Sunset portraits

The 30 minutes before sunset is the single most flattering window of the day. Block it in the timeline.

Family formals. Small list

Keep the family formal list short and specific. Long lists drain energy and rarely produce favorite images.

A quiet moment together

Five minutes alone after the ceremony. Most couples say it's the moment they remember most.
