These are shapes, not scripture. Sunset moves, venues differ, families run long. When you book, we build your timeline with you, down to the minute, around your day and your light.

One more thing

Your timeline gets built around your light, not a template.

Sunset moves week to week. Venues run long. Families do what families do. We build yours with you once your date is locked, down to the minute.

Planning made painless

Live your day. We'll handle the rest.

Tell us your date and your ceremony time, and we'll sketch a timeline for your actual sunset before you've signed anything.
