Your wedding is like a production with a bunch of moving parts. If you hire a planner, which we highly recommend, they will have a timeline for your entire day, but what you may not know is that your photographer will also have a timeline. Your photographer's timeline is equally as important to ensure that your day runs smoothly and all your special moments are captured.

In this episode, we're talking with Central Florida wedding photographer, Marjorie Durante of Sophia's Art Photography about the importance of a wedding photography timeline.
