An Ideal Photography Timeline for Beautiful Wedding Photos

As a passionate team of wedding photographers and videographers, Saiaf Films specializes in capturing beautiful wedding photos. Last week, we shared the first part of what an ideal wedding photography timeline looks like. Here, we will conclude the best timeline to follow to guarantee beautiful wedding photos and the most enjoyable wedding photography experience. (If you missed the first portion of our wedding photography timeline, you can check it out here!)

First Look or Daytime Couple’s Session: This particular photo moment may vary depending on whether or not you are planning a First Look. If you are, this is a great opportunity to capture some daytime couple photos. An ideal location could be in a venue garden, an alluring hallway or any location that can provide an appealing backdrop. For these beautiful wedding photos, try to have at least 30-45 minutes set

Wedding Party: Not only are these some of the most exciting wedding photos, they can also be the most memorable! The wedding party photos should include all the classic photos (Bride and groomsmen, groom and bridesmaids, bride and bridesmaids, groom and groomsmen, funky poses, etc.) This area is great for creativity! An ideal location would be an open and appealing area with an eye catching background or landscaping. Allow at least 35-45 minutes for these beautiful wedding photos!

Close Family & Formals: Weddings are not only super exciting for the bride and groom, they are also very important to the family. It is important to capture memorable shots with the immediate family members early in the event- that way everyone is still around or close by. These can take place in the same area as the wedding party photos and you should allow at least 3-5 minutes per group. Allow for at least an hour for these photos. It helps to have a list of who will be involved and to have a designated individual that helps direct everyone on where to go.

Evening Couple’s Session: These beautiful wedding photos should normally take place around sunset or later in the night post ceremony. Try to select an area that provides a gorgeous backdrop or an appealing area to get creative with. If they are done at sunset, our Hindu Wedding Photographer San Francisco will be able to capture the stunning skies and the epic effect of dusk wedding photos. Allow for at least 45 minutes to an hour for this photo session.

Don’t be afraid to set aside any extra time or ideas you may have for particular beautiful wedding photos you may want. Keep in mind, this is one of the most exciting and memorable days of your life!
