How does this work..

That really depends how long you’re gonna take to get ready

Talk to your photographer and see what they suggest since they do this everyday. It also depends on how many people are getting ready with you. More people will take longer to coordinate.

Contact the photographer and let them know that you need at least a ballpark time for your other vendors before you sign their contracts. If they still balk, then cut your losses and go with a more flexible photographer who is better at communication.

My photographers are coming about 30-45 minutes before I get in my dress. They’re going to capture the last bit of HMU and then we will “fake” any shots we need and get good ones of getting in the dress, shoes, etc. The guys are getting to the venue dressed and then will reenact some special shots.

View Quoted Comment What time are u getting into your dress?

View Quoted Comment So we are having a 2pm ceremony to have plenty of sunlight for photos after (12/19/20 wedding date) and I’ll be getting in my dress around 12:30

That really depends how much getting ready photos you want. If it’s just getting into your dress, maybe an hour. If it’s getting your hair & makeup done I’d say more obviously.
