Wedding Timeline Questionnaire


Please take the time to fill out this questionnaire as it's important for us to know what is happening so we can be there to capture everything as it unfolds.

A quick note for when you get to the part about family portraits...


This can be the most chaotic part of the day. Rounding everyone up can be problematic at times if there isn't an organized list. Please do tell the family members that will be in these photos to stick around after the ceremony so that they don't scatter t0o far. Have a runner in place just in case there is a need to find someone.

Here is a general guide you can copy/paste and add below in the family portraits section:

You may have already told us, but it's nice to have everything in one location. We use this information sometimes on social media and blogs to describe your story more in detail.

From when we arrive to when you leave for ceremony

Perhaps you are wanting a parent/grandparent or person(s) to see you in your dress before the wedding, please let us know here

From when we arrive to when groom leaves for ceremony

Write n/a if doesn't apply. If it does apply, write time you'd like to this to happen. On average this takes 15-20 min.

ie, hand fastening, dog ring bearer, kids holding signs, etc. Or let us know if there are any restrictions. (ie for some church weddings, no flash during the ceremony, etc.)

some couples combine their names into a wedding hashtag for social media
