Let's Break it Down. When Should Your Photographer Show Up?
Look, as someone who's shot more Adirondack weddings than I can count, here's the real talk about timing - it matters more than you think.
The Sweet Spot: Want those killer getting ready shots? I need to slide in right after hair but before your makeup is done. Trust me on this. The room's still chill, your details aren't scattered everywhere yet, and nobody's stressing about time. Perfect for capturing your dress doing its thing, those family heirlooms you're rocking, and all the little details that make your day uniquely yours.
Here's How It Usually Goes Down:
11:00 - I show up while you're getting your makeup done
12:30 - Bridesmaids are dressed and ready to roll
1:00 - The dress moment (cue the tears)
1:20 - First looks with your people
1:40 - Quick portraits with your ride-or-dies
2:00 - Time to head to the ceremony
2:30 - The magic begins
Real Talk About Those Morning Shots: Those quiet moments before everything gets real? Pure gold. Your mom trying not to cry while fixing your veil, inside jokes with your crew over mimosas, that look in your eyes when it hits you - "I'm getting married today."
What If Getting Ready Photos Aren't Your Style?
Here's the thing about wedding photos - they should feel like YOU. And if the thought of a camera in your face while you're getting ready makes you want to run for the hills? I got you.
Let's Break Down A Different Kind of Timeline:
The Sweet Spot: Rolling in 45-60 minutes before you say "I do"
What We'll Catch:
Those killer details you spent months planning
Your people showing up and loving on each other
The quiet before the storm
That look on your partner's face when they first see you
All the good stuff, none of the stress
Real Talk About Pre-Ceremony Magic: Even without the morning chaos, we can still capture some epic moments. Think empty ceremony space looking fresh, your details before everyone shows up, and those genuine reactions when families first see each other.
The Secret Sauce: Starting later doesn't mean missing out - it just means we focus on different moments, the moments that matter to YOU! Trust me, some of my favorite shots happen in that golden hour right before ceremonies when everyone's feeling all the feels.
Here's Why This Works:
More relaxed morning vibe
Still catch all the important moments
Focus on what actually matters to you
Your day, your way
