A wedding day timeline for photos and video: zaffe, dabke and every moment

A good timeline is the easiest way to get better photos. Use this sample as a starting point and adjust it with your venue, DJ and family.

Sample timeline (adjust to your day)

  • Late morning: getting ready at home. Allow enough time for details, dress and family moments without rushing.
  • Afternoon: couple photoshoot in a garden, park or at the venue. Golden light before sunset gives the warmest portraits.
  • Early evening: family and group photos before guests fill the hall.
  • Entrance: the zaffe and grand entrance. Tell your photographer the exact order so every camera is in place.
  • Reception: speeches, first dance, cake and time for photos at the family tables.
  • Late night: dabke and the last dance, the highest energy of the night.

Tips for better photos

  • Share a list of the family groups you want before the day.
  • Ask the venue to keep the path for the zaffe clear.
  • Plan a few minutes with the photographer after the entrance for portraits in the hall.
  • If you want drone footage, choose a location outside and check the weather.

Coverage that fits your timeline

If your day starts at home, choose a package that includes getting-ready coverage. Compare packages or check your date.
