Be at your cocktail hour— at least for a little while ✨
This is where the celebration begins! It’s the onset of the party and when your guests are still reeling from the vows and the enormity of being invited to witness the start of your forever!
I always recommend designing your timeline to allow you the most possible time at your cocktail hour.
Ways achieve this (of course some of these will be venue and vendor permitting)
1. A First Look
2. Keeping family portraits to immediate family only
3. Extending the cocktail hour
4. Scheduling couples portraits in multiple small batches rather than one longer session
It’s definitely possible and you’ll never regret catching these moments live!
Just ask .yeatts and Justin! 🤭
