Ideas for your New England Wedding Timeline
Kayleigh & Taylor, Wedding Portraits in Rye, New Hampshire on their Wedding Day
So, you need some ideas to start planning your New England Wedding…
Trust me, I understand the pains of wedding planning. In case you didn’t know, a Wedding Photographer is writing this blog post! BUT…
Your wedding planning isn’t supposed to be a pain, so I am here to give you all of the tricks to your best wedding timeline from a wedding photographer.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW FIRST
Planning your wedding timeline has A LOT of dependents.
Wedding timelines can always accommodate what you want.
Your timeline is created by you and with help from me (your photographer) and your planner (if you have one).
You do NOT worry about your timeline on the day of your wedding day— thats my job:)
The following timelines are specific to Weddings in Maine during the summer time— See my Instagram for the best Fall Wedding Timelines.
