Wedding Timeline Without a First Look?

I had an 8-hour contract for photo and video. We also didn't have a first look. This is my timeline for the photographer/videographer:

2:00pm - Photographer/Videographer arrives and split into

*We only had two single shooters for each medium so we had photographer shoot ladies first during the "get ready" while video shoots gents and then swap them after 20 min sessions. It also helped us avoid overcrowding during covid.

2:40pm - Bridal Party group photos and video shots outside venue

3:00pm - Chinese tea ceremony

3:45pm - Family portraits

4:30pm - Additional "getting ready" photos of bride and groom getting into wedding outfits.

5:00pm - B-roll, guests arriving

5:30pm - Wedding ceremony

6:00pm - Formal portraits at altar with guests

6:30pm - Wedding party photos and video

7:00pm - Bride and groom photos and video

7:30pm - Wedding party grand entrance, bride and groom first dance

9:00pm - Bride and groom take pictures at each table

10:00pm - Photography and videography services end

My suggestion is, don't pack the timeline too tightly because things will likely go longer than expected (especially when you have random people pulling you from all sides) or things may run late. We gave ourselves more time for the formal portraits because inevitably, some family members will want to hog more time. By giving yourself some buffer room, it'll let you get back on track in the event one thing is delayed or another takes more time than you expect.

Our wedding schedule started for 1pm given pictures of things we had set up for outfits/accessories/etc., and 1 hour each of family shots getting ready time. The first looks were out of the question since the outfits were seen ahead of time as he had to pick his out with choosing the shoes and hat to match the outfit.

The beginning of my day…for the wedding timeline. We did not have a videographer and our photographer was there for a bit and only with me.

Hello Aubrey,
