Intentional Timelines, Meaningful Moments

How I Help You Enjoy Every Second Of Your Wedding Day

Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming — I see it all the time. So many decisions, so many details, and one chance to get it right. But here’s something most couples don’t realize until they’re in the thick of it: the timeline of your wedding day can either create space for joy and presence… or leave you feeling rushed and disconnected.

As a wedding photographer, I don’t just show up and take photos. I work with every couple to design a thoughtful timeline — one that reflects your priorities, honors your relationships, and gives you the breathing room to actually enjoyyour wedding day.

Why A Wedding Timeline Matters

• A well designed timeline is more then a schedule – its a roadmap for the emotional flow of the day.
• It protects your peace: You’re not constantly checking the clock or worrying about what’s next.
• It makes space for spontaneous, joyful moments – like a first look with dad, toasts with your bridesmaids, or a quiet sunset walk with your new spouse.

The Value I Bring As Your Photographer

• I create custom timelines for every single couple I work with.
• I base them on your venue(s), your priorities, your family dynamics and even the season/sunset time.
• I don’t believe in cookie-cutter schedules – I build timelines that give you freedom and space while keeping things structured and calm.
• My experience means I can anticipate how long things really take (hint: it’s always more than people think) and pad the timeline so you are never rushed.

Please note: This is a general timeline based on an 8-10 hour wedding day with a first look. Every wedding is different — and that’s the beauty of custom timelines

Why Intentionality Matters

• One of my core values is intentionality. I don’t believe in rushing through the day just to check off a shot list.
• I want you to feel every moment – not just see it in photos later.
• From the timeline to the photos themselves, my goal is to make sure your wedding day feels as magical as it looks.
