After 15 years of weddings I would like to offer you my best recommendations for wedding timelines! Adjustments can be made for longer or later ceremonies, travel, multiple locations, less hours, time of year etc. but this is bullet-proof 90% of the time! For spring, winter or late fall wedding we can shift the creative time to before the ceremony for natural light reasons. -Judd

My son in law and I are just starting our photography business. Have our first wedding in August. We did an engagement session for them and got some great shots.
