This is the most common wedding day: getting ready in the early afternoon, a first look and wedding party photos, a 5pm ceremony, cocktail hour, then dinner, toasts and dancing.
What to plan for
- A first look lets you finish most portraits before the ceremony, so the couple can enjoy cocktail hour.
- Save 15 to 20 minutes at golden hour for sunset portraits. Check the time with the Sunset planner.
- Plated dinners need a firm guest count and meal choices about two weeks ahead.
