A planning guide from Bella Vita Wedding Photography & Films
Lock the ceremony and the meal
Write the ceremony time and when dinner is served before you place portraits. Those two times hold the rest of the day.
Put getting ready on the schedule
Getting ready may be at the venue or somewhere else. Add the time to dress, to gather the wedding party, and to reach the ceremony. A timeline that starts at the vows leaves out the morning.
Leave a real window for portraits
Family photographs and portraits of the couple fit in the gaps the ceremony and the meal leave. If older relatives are in the photographs, choose a meeting place they can reach without a rush.
Use the published day as a shape, not a clock
Emese and Kevin were married at Château Vaudreuil in Vaudreuil-Dorion. Their gallery opens with getting ready, then the ceremony, portraits, and the celebration. Use that order as a shape. Do not copy their timing onto your date.
Ask how travel applies
Travel is included within 20 km of Montreal. A Vaudreuil-Dorion wedding outside that distance is quoted on its own. Ask for the travel line in writing with the proposal.
