- Timelines | Ivory Grove
wedding day timelines We know perfecting your wedding day timeline can be quite a task! Your photographer/videographer will help you craft the perfect timeline tailored specifically to your day. If your timeline changes after booking, we're happy to extend coverage or add on services at any time. These tips and examples should help you get started, but please let us know if you have any questions! Visit our lighting page for more tips Golden Hour Don't forget to fit in at least 30 minutes where you and your fiancé are alone with the photographer and/or videographer. This is best when planned within 2 hours of sunset and located outdoors (google your date + location + sunset to find your sunset time). The lighting will be perfect, and these will likely be your favorite wedding day photos and videos! If it doesn't work with your timeline to do this during golden hour, then work with your photographer to find an evenly shaded area for portrait photos. Family Photos We love family photos and want to get all the combinations important to you! We recommend the following to make this more efficient and effective: Write out a family photo list before the wedding day. For example: Bride + Groom with groom’s parents (Carly, Hunter + Kim, Doug) Remind family members ahead of time to stay after the ceremony and that your officiant makes an announcement at the end of the ceremony for all family members to stay seated. Have a bridesmaid or someone who is not a part of the family help call names on “deck”, the rest of the family stay seated in groups. Ahead of time, let the photographer know roughly the largest group photo that will be taken. Transitions As you write out your timeline, don't forget about transitions...if it takes 20 minutes to get to the reception hall from the church, plan at least 30 minutes for that transition. Larger bridal parties will require more time for transitions. Downtown locations require consideration of traffic and parking. Shot List Shot List Think about what moments are most important to you to have captured. Here is our standard shot list to help you get started. Recommendations *These are general recommendations . Please discuss desired photos and specific circumstanc es with your photographer and/or videographer to create a custom timeline for your day. Larger bridal parties and long lists of desired photos will most likely require more time t han listed below. Details - 30 minutes *It's best if all items are gathered before we arrive: wedding dress (on a nice hanger), shoes, BOTH rings, watch, tie, perfume, jewelry: necklace, earrings, bracelets, bouquets (have the florist deliver before we arrive), two invitation suites, veil, lipstick, hairpiece, vow books Getting Ready (Boys) - 30 minutes Getting Ready (Girls) - 60 minutes *We recommend that the bride and the person helping her into her dress are scheduled to be done with hair and makeup 15 minutes before we arrive. This allows a buffer so the whole day's schedule isn't thrown off if things run a little behind. *This can b e done in 30 minutes if everyone is completely ready (including dresses) and we do mock photos First Look or First Touch - 15 minutes *This is for each person/group you're doing a first look with. So if you're doing one with your bridesmaids, father, and groom, 45 minutes is recommended. *If you would like to do a private vow reading at this time, another 15 minutes is needed. Transition to Ceremony - 30 minutes *This allows video time to set up the backup camera and wire audio. This time also allows the bride to hide away while guests are arriving. Ceremony - 30 minutes *Please discuss with your officiant - 30 minutes is a general allotment. *Let us know how involved you want us to be in the ceremony (you barely know we're there, or we're crafting the moment and up close) *Remember to walk slowly down the aisle so we have time to capture both you and your fiancé's reaction (and don't forget to smile). *One long kiss or multiple kisses is appreciated. Following the ceremony, please walk slowly, smile big, and kiss at the end of the aisle (dip kisses are our favorite!). Family Photos - 30 minutes * Remember to write out your list and appoint someone to gather people for each photo. Bridal Party Photos - 30 minutes *This can go quicker if we allow a little extra time right after "Getting Ready" to do bridal party separates (just the bride and her bridesmaids then just the groom with his groomsmen). Couple Portraits - 45 minutes *If sunset hits during your reception, we can sneak away for 20 minutes and get some of these photos done with good lighting. Reception - 3 hours *Eac h reception is a little different, but we've found that 3 hours generally gives us enough time to capture important events like first dances, toasts, bouquet/garter toss, cake cutting, and open dance with room for dinner somewhere in there. We do not need to stay until the end of the reception unless you would like us to capture a formal exit. Ask your team members about doing a mock exit if you'd like those photos/videos but are trying to keep to a tighter timeline. Sparkler photos can be taken at sunset or anytime after. *Please notify caterers to serve your team members when you are served so that we don't miss any important moments. *We recommend going into your first dance right after your grand entrance. You have everyone's attention and it's a fun way to kick off the event. timeline tips sample timelines select 4.5 hrs 4:15 Venue shots, video setup for the ceremony 5:00 Ceremony 5:30 Family photos, bridal party, bride/groom 6:30 Sunset 6:45 Reception: dinner 7:15 Speeches 7:45 First dances 8:00 Cake cutting 8:15 Open dance 8:45 Photographer & Videographer leave classic 6 hrs 2:30 Getting ready: Bride (finishing touches) 3:15 Getting ready: Groom 3:45 First Touch with Groom 4:00 Transition to ceremony & video setup for the ceremony 4:30 Ceremony 5:00 Family Photos 5:20 Bridal Party 5:45 Bride & Groom portraits 6:30 Grand entrance to the reception 7:00 Sunset 6:35 First Dances (Bride & Groom) (Bride & Dad) (Groom & Mom) 6:50 Dinner 7:30 Speeches, cake cutting, bouquet toss 8:15 Open Dancing 8:30 Photographer & Videographer leave luxe 8 hrs 1:00 Detail & Venue shots 1:30 Getting ready (Groom) + Portraits 2:15 Getting ready (Bride) + Portraits 3:30 First look with Dad 4:00 Transition to ceremony & video setup for the ceremony 4:30 Ceremony 5:00 Family Photos 5:30 Bridal Party 6:00 Bride & Groom portraits 6:40 Sunset 6:45 Grand Entrance into Reception 6:50 First Dance (Bride & Groom) + Welcome 7:00 Dinner 7:40 Speeches 8:10 Cake cutting, bouquet toss & garter toss 8:30 First Dances (Bride & Dad, Groom & Mom) 8:40 Open Dance 9:00 Photographer & Videographer leave premier or the ivory 10 hrs 12:00 Detail & Venue shots 12:30 Getting ready: Groom + Portraits 1:15 Getting ready: Bride + Portraits 3:00 First look with Groom & Portraits 4:00 Bridal Party 4:30 Transition to the ceremony & video setup for ceremony 5:00 Ceremony 5:30 Family Photos 5:45 Sunset 6:00 Grand entrance to reception 6:05 First Dances (Bride & Groom) (Bride & Dad) (Groom & Mom) 6:20 Dinner 7:20 Speeches 7:50 Cake cutting, Bouquet toss & garter toss 8:10 Shoe game 8:30 Open Dancing 9:30 Private last dance 9:45 Sparkler send-off 10:00 Photographer & Videographer leave

song selection Songs must be licensed... Songs make such an incredible impact on the feel of your wedding video! They set the tone for the clips, evoke emotion, and add even more personality to the story of your big day. If you would like to, we would love for you to choose the songs that will make this video truly yours. We also give you the option of deferring the selection to our amazingly-talented editing team. They have a lot of experience with wedding videos and can choose songs that will complement the video clips of your big day. It's up to you! Whichever route you choose, just be aware that copyright laws are very strict regarding the use of music in wedding videos. To play fair and keep us all out of legal trouble, we must be able to purchase a license for all of the songs we use in your video . But don't worry, we have subscriptions to four different music sites from which you may select your songs! You don't need to download anything, just let us know what you decide! You can either send your Event Manager a quick text or put them directly into your Personal Wedding Details Page. Music Websites MUSIC WEBSITES You can choose songs from any of the sites below! Musicbed https://www.musicbed.com/songs Songs marked with an “S” and a line through it above the title have an additional licensing fee of $69. If you use the AI Search , you can type in any song and it will show you songs similar to that song, but the song you typed in that shows at the top isn't available to license.

Please note that we edit your video to the beat of the song, so it is a lot of work to change a song after the video has already been edited. Because of this, we will charge a $75 re-edit fee if you want to change your songs after your video has already been delivered. For the beginning song, we recommend something instrumental. These are slower and have a sentimental/romantic feel. Instrumental is best here because lyrics can be distracting during this portion of the video, and there is often recorded audio of vows or reading letters. Lyrics tend to "fight" recorded audio and make listening to your vows or letter reading difficult. For the ending song, an upbeat, fun song fits well - this one can have lyrics, but it can also be instrumental . As you are listening to the songs, keep in mind.... Below are our favorite song recommendations!

- Milwaukee Engagement Session Tips | Ivory Grove
Milwaukee Engagement Session Tips Congrats on your engagement! We are so excited to shoot your session. Your photographer will be reaching out soon (if they haven't already) to get it scheduled. It's such a fun time for us to get to know you and your love story, and we love capturing fun moments in photos that you will always treasure! It's also a great chance for us to practice for the wedding day! We can play around with different poses and angles and be all that more prepared to take amazing photos on the big day! Nothing to be nervous about! Your photographer will guide you through everything. Think of it as a fun date night being captured for you to relive! Here are a few tips to make your session a success: golden hour Golden Hour, also referred to as "magic hour" is the hour right before sunset. The lighting is strong and soft at the same time, allowing for the most flattering and appealing photographs with natural colors and tones. Great lighting is the foundation of every great session. That's why we aim to schedule your engagement session right before sunset. This is absolutely key to getting those dreamy tones we all love! With these principles in mind, your photographer will work with you to find the perfect time! wardrobe "What are we going to wear?" You're already asking that question, right? No need to worry! Just keep a few things in mind: Coordinate, don't match. Choose one fancier outfit and one casual outfit (avoid shorts for guys). Avoid neons or extra bright colors. Stick to neutrals/earth tones (creams, charcoals, softer versions of stark colors) - they will look good in any location and age well. Avoid multiple patterns (plaid with stripes, stripes with polka dots). One pattern with a solid works well. Avoid thin stripes or mesh (they can warp on camera). Make sure you like the way you look from the front, the side, and behind. Avoid large logos, baseball caps, and transition lens glasses. All of these things can be distracting in the photo. location We love hearing your ideas for shoot locations—it’s one of the best ways to make your session truly personal and meaningful. Whether it’s the family farm, the spot where you first met, your go-to brewery, a favorite hangout downtown, or that park you both love, the right location can add so much heart to your photos. Think about where you feel most at ease as a couple—that’s often where the magic happens. Please note: If your chosen location is more than 25 miles from the nearest major city to your wedding, a travel fee may apply. If you're thinking of a place that requires a permit or special permission—like a park, private venue, or certain public spaces—we kindly ask that you arrange those approvals ahead of time. That way, everything runs smoothly and you can fully enjoy your time in front of the camera. Check out a few of our favorite locations around the area to get you inspired! Browse a collection of our favorite engagement sessions captured in local spots such as The Boerner Botanical Gardens , Garfield Park Conservatory & The Grand Geneva Resort!

- Chicago Engagement Session Tips | Ivory Grove
Chicago Engagement Session Tips Congrats on your engagement! We are so excited to shoot your session. Your photographer will be reaching out soon (if they haven't already) to get it scheduled. It's such a fun time for us to get to know you and your love story, and we love capturing fun moments in photos that you will always treasure! It's also a great chance for us to practice for the wedding day! We can play around with different poses and angles and be all that more prepared to take amazing photos on the big day! Nothing to be nervous about! Your photographer will guide you through everything. Think of it as a fun date night being captured for you to relive! Here are a few tips to make your session a success: golden hour Golden Hour, also referred to as "magic hour" is the hour right before sunset. The lighting is strong and soft at the same time, allowing for the most flattering and appealing photographs with natural colors and tones. Great lighting is the foundation of every great session. That's why we aim to schedule your engagement session right before sunset. This is absolutely key to getting those dreamy tones we all love! With these principles in mind, your photographer will work with you to find the perfect time! wardrobe "What are we going to wear?" You're already asking that question, right? No need to worry! Just keep a few things in mind: Coordinate, don't match. Choose one fancier outfit and one casual outfit (avoid shorts for guys). Avoid neons or extra bright colors. Stick to neutrals/earth tones (creams, charcoals, softer versions of stark colors) - they will look good in any location and age well. Avoid multiple patterns (plaid with stripes, stripes with polka dots). One pattern with a solid works well. Avoid thin stripes or mesh (they can warp on camera).
