I'm trying to wrap my head around a wedding day timeline. It's a small wedding, 33 people on my guest list. I've hired our photographer for 5 hours because that's all I could afford so I'm trying to fit everything in that time frame and get all the pictures that I want. We are not doing a big send off at the end so that's helpful. Our ceremony and reception are at the same location so no traveling required. We do not have a wedding party, so it's me and the groom, my mom and his mom and dad. This is what I have so far. Can I get my WW family to look over it and offer suggestions or add anything I'm not thinking about?
5PM - Ceremony
5:30 - Cocktail hour for guest. Pictures for wedding party.
6:15 - Entrance to reception and dinner announced. (we are having a food truck for people to go up and get food instead of a traditional buffet or sit down meal)
7:15 - First Dance and Family Dance
7:30 - Cake Cutting
My photographer will be there at 3:30 to take detail pictures and first look pictures before the ceremony. I feel like if she's there until 8:30 (5 hours) that my wedding day timeline looks ok for her to get everything we want. Do I have it too crammed/not adding buffers? I understand nothing will go the way I think it should go but I also feel like it's doable! We are not doing a bouquet toss, garter toss or a big send off at the end. Does anyone have suggestions for me?
