So you’ve got the perfect dress, the perfect venue, and the perfect partner to spend the rest of your life with. But what about the perfect morning of your wedding day? You want to start your big day off right, with a relaxed and fun atmosphere that sets the tone for the day ahead. As a wedding photographer, I’ve seen my fair share of wedding mornings, and I’ve got some tried-and-true ideas for things you can do to make sure your photos are as gorgeous and memorable as your love story.

A timeline, runsheet, schedule; whatever you want to call it, is an important part of your wedding day. No matter how big or small your wedding may be a runsheet is crucial to ensure everything runs smoothly and everyone knows where they should be and when. The run sheet is the culmination of all the hard work that has gone into choosing your dream team of vendors and eliminating any miscommunications resulting in a late floral delivery or the cake ending up at the wrong address.
