Good photographers and videographers are booked well in advance, especially in peak wedding season. Here is a simple timeline to keep your planning on track.
9 to 12 months before
Fix your date and venue, then start looking at portfolios. Shortlist a few photographers and videographers whose style you love, and check their availability for your dates.
6 to 9 months before
Meet or call your top choices, ask about deliverables and sign a written agreement. Book the team for all functions, not just the main ceremony.
3 to 6 months before
Plan your pre-wedding shoot, discuss locations and outfits, and share your list of must-have moments and family photos.
1 to 2 months before
Confirm the schedule of every function, venue timings and contact persons. Share a short list of key relatives and friends.
The week of the wedding
Reconfirm arrival times, give your photographer a point of contact on the day, and rest well. Peak season fills up quickly, so the earlier you book, the more choice you have.
