Twelve-Hour Wedding Timeline Sample Ideas For A 12-Hour Wedding

How Do I Plan My Wedding Day?

A twelve-hour wedding timeline is ideal for couples who want their entire wedding day documented by their photographer. Having multiple locations will also benefit, as it provides ample time for travel between each one. Couples that choose the 12 hour package often have the best photos because they have given me a great deal of time to create amazing wedding photos at different spots.

I am a wedding photographer who can offer wedding images that fit the wishes of almost all wedding couples.  My Dayton wedding photography packages fulfill the needs of wedding couples while allowing me enough time to capture the day. I also offer a 6-hour package and an 8-hour package, but there may not be enough time for bigger and longer weddings, especially when multiple locations are needed.

The 12-hour timeline below is for a wedding day where the wedding couple chooses to do a first look with a 5 pm ceremony.  This is a guide and can be customized to fit your day.  Please note the more time you give the photographer for wedding portraits, family photos, and wedding party photos, the better images you will receive. I hope this wedding timeline sample day can help you plan your day regardless of who your photographer is.
