This year, I stopped submitting my wedding work to publications.

Not because I stopped caring about excellence—but because my purpose for documenting weddings changed.

Your wedding day isn’t a photoshoot — and it shouldn’t feel like one.

The biggest regrets I hear from couples? Feeling rushed, missing time with their guests, and spending more of their day posing than actually living it.

The good news? With the right photography timeline, you can have stunning, heartfelt images and a day that feels calm, intentional, and completely yours.

In this post, I’m sharing my go-to wedding day timeline — built from photographing over 200 weddings — so you can be fully present, soak up every moment, and still walk away with a gallery you love.
