Tips for an awesome wedding day photography timeline | With guest Courtney Davidson The Awesome Wedding Podcast

On this episode I am joined by awesome Nashville photographer Courtney Davison (http://courtneydavidson.com/) and we chat about putting together your photography timeline for your wedding day. We answer the question how much time should you allot on your wedding day for family formals, couple portraits and photos with your bridal party.  We talk about advantages of seeing each other before the ceremony (otherwise known as a first look) and what to do during the cocktail hour if you do.  We talk about considerations you should be aware of when planning out your ceremony time based on what time of year your wedding is.  Sunset!  When will it be?  Where will it be?  What if it doesn't happen and its rainy?  Is your photographer prepared for this?  
We talk about the importance of building in a cushion into your timeline not just because things WILL run late on your wedding day (everything takes longer than you think it will on a wedding day) but also to allow you to have time to enjoy moments which lead to AWESOME candid photographs.  Let your vendors know what your priorities are prior to the wedding day!  We close out the episode talking about the first dance and the one thing you have to do during your first dance to make your photographer happy and get some great photos (even if you hate dancing)!
