Katelyn - How much influence do you have over the wedding day timeline? If you have much say so in it, how do you help a bride decide a good timeline? Do you look up sunset or blue hour first, and then figure the wedding day timeline backward from there? Any chance you'd be willing to give us a full detailed run down of how you make sure your clients are getting the best light for the photos you are wanting to grab with them?

[@KatelynJames]

This is a great question! We use our Bridal Guide to start with education EARLY... like as SOON as they book... so that they learn that if they want images like what they hired us for, we need to be a part of the timeline creation process! I provide sample timelines in their bridal guide as a starting place!!
