How to Build the Perfect Wedding Day Timeline (Without Losing Your Mind or Your Sanity)

Creating a wedding timeline is like trying to herd glitter—sparkly and exciting, but so easy to lose control. Here’s how to keep things stress-free (and videographer-approved).

Your Wedding Videography-Friendly Timeline

• Getting Ready (2–3 Hours Before): We love catching you in glam mode, robe selfies, and the nervous best man YouTubing how to tie a bowtie.

• First Look (Optional): Want genuine “holy crap you look amazing” reactions on camera? This is where the magic happens.

• Ceremony: Start on time. We’re ready with multiple angles and probably some tissues.

• Family Photos: Give us 30–45 minutes and someone loud to yell names.

• Golden Hour Portraits: Reserve 20–30 minutes right before sunset. Natural glow = chef’s kiss.

• Reception Coverage: Plan for 3–4 hours of filming to catch the good stuff: speeches, dancing, and Aunt Linda doing the worm.

Add Buffer Time!

Wedding days never go perfectly to plan—and that’s okay. Add 10–15 minute cushions throughout the day to keep things smooth and stress-free.
