So I've got to provide my timeline to all of my vendors and I'm wondering if the timing for photography is really enough? I don't want to skimp on the photos, but I feel like the timeline is tight enough as is! Also if you have any other thoughts I would love to take them into consideration. (We do have a Catholic gap and we will have that, so I know that can be a pet peeve of some people, but just the way it is for our wedding! I've provided a lobby with refreshments and restrooms for guests if they do choose to go straight to the venue and wait the hour and half there until the doors open to cocktail hour.)
