Timeline drafts
These Timeline drafts are just to give you an idea of what a day can look like. Everybody's day is unique and it's important to take into consideration how big the wedding is (family photo timing and makeup/hair timing), how quickly venue loses light (may lose light early so would need to adjust for sunset photos etc), travel time between locations and if you have any other things you want to fit in (reading letters from each other, first look with family etc)
