A wedding day timeline should make space for the things that cannot be planned. The best photographs often happen in the gaps: the walk between rooms, the quiet breath before the ceremony, the way everyone looks once the formal part is finished.
Start with the non-negotiables, then build in breathing room. Ten extra minutes before portraits can change the entire feeling of the gallery. A little softness in the schedule gives the day room to become itself.
The goal is not to script every second. The goal is to protect enough time for real moments to unfold.
