Wedding & Elopement photography timeline calculator

How much Time do I need for my elopement or wedding?

This is probably one of the most asked questions I get from couples planning their wedding days. What if there was a handy Wedding & Elopement Timeline Calculator to help you figure that out? 😉 Well now there is!

We don’t know what we don’t know…

Most people have been to a traditional wedding

Most people have been to at least one traditional wedding in their life, so they have a general idea of what to expect. For those that haven’t, they almost always have friends and family who have that help guide them through what a typical day looks like. Even so, knowing how much time to allot for different portions of the day can be confusing, and not allowing enough time can create unneeded stress and/ or coverage that doesn’t capture the whole story.

Elopements and hybrid elopement/ weddings are less known

I find many of my eloping couples have never been to an elopement before, and most don’t know anyone else who has eloped. It’s easy to fall into comparing the coverage to a photoshoot (the known) rather than the story of their wedding day, more similar to a traditional wedding. Once we start going through the activities that they want to include in their wedding day, they quickly realize that 2 hours is not going to tell their story.

While every wedding is unique, use this handy elopement timeline calculator to help you visualize how much time *at a minimum* to set aside for each portion of the day!
