How to plan a wedding timeline so photos are never rushed

A simple timeline that leaves room for rituals, family photos and golden-hour portraits.

Rituals run on their own time, and that’s part of the beauty. A few buffers keep the day relaxed.

Our rules of thumb

  • Add 30 minutes to the janti arrival time.
  • Plan family group photos straight after the main ritual, while everyone is dressed and present.
  • Keep 20 minutes for couple portraits in the best light of the day.
  • Share the timeline with us a week before, and we’ll suggest where to add breathing room.
