Set your ceremony time, switch on the moments your day includes, and edit the minutes. The tool builds a printable, minute-by-minute schedule and totals your coverage hours — all from your own timings, no guesswork.
A minute-by-minute plan built from your own timings.
Once the day is mapped, send couples one branded link where they pick their collection, see the total and deposit live, e-sign, and reserve the date — the deposit lands straight in your own Stripe.

Getting ready, the first look and pre-ceremony portraits all count backward from when you say your vows; cocktail hour, dinner, speeches and dancing count forward. That's exactly how this tool works — set the ceremony time once, and everything else falls into place around it, so changing that single time reshapes the whole day instantly.
Enter your ceremony start, then switch on the moments your wedding actually includes and adjust the minutes for each. A first look might be twenty minutes; dinner and open dancing are usually the longest blocks. As you edit, the summary shows when the day starts, when it ends, and the total hours between the two — which is how many hours of photography coverage this plan needs. Print a clean one-pager for the couple, or copy it as text to drop into an email or WhatsApp.
There's no honest single answer, and this page won't invent one. The right number is simply the span from your first photographed moment to your last — so the hours figure here is built from your choices, not an average. Toggle getting ready and a sparkler exit on and the total climbs; keep it tight around the ceremony and reception and it shrinks. Photographers can use the same total to price coverage; couples can use it to sanity-check how many hours to book. For the pricing side of that, see how much to charge for wedding photography.
It depends on your day. Add up the moments you want photographed — this tool totals them from your own timings and durations, so the hours figure reflects your wedding, not anyone else's average.
Light depends on your date and location. Many photographers like to keep couple portraits for the softer light in the hour or so before sunset, so check the sunset time for your exact date and venue and work backward.

No — it's a planning starting point, not a contract. Real wedding days drift, so build in buffer time and confirm timings with your venue, planner and other vendors.
