First Look and Photos (Separate)

12:15 pm - 1:00 pm

If you are getting ready on your own, this is the first event you’ll need to attend, so please plan to arrive on time.

Our photographer will arrive at 12:00 PM for final touches, getting-ready photos, and first-look photos. If you’ve chosen to get ready on your own, please plan to arrive at 12:00 PM to join the brides at their locations for first-look photos and a few candid moments before I do.

First Look and Photos (Together)

1:00 pm - 1:30 pm

Hannah and Desiree will be having a private first look from 1:00 PM to 1:30 PM. We kindly ask that you allow them this time to enjoy the moment together. Following the first look, family and group photos will take place at the Mervue Estate from 1:40 PM-2:15 PM.

Couple Portraits/Trivia

2:15 pm - 4:15 pm

While Desiree and Hannah take couple portraits at Samuel H. Boardman, Dalton Bain will host a ‘How Well Do You Know the Couple?’ trivia game. This will take place at Crook Point, Mervue. Dalton will have a list of questions about the couple, and the winner of the trivia will be our ring bearer at the wedding, so study up!

Travel To Ceremony

4:15 pm - 5:00 pm

If you’re helping set up at the Capella by the Sea location, please plan to leave early to allow enough time to set up flowers between 5:00 PM and 5:20 PM. Desiree and Hannah will reach out directly to those assisting, so no need to worry if you’re unsure whether this applies to you. If you are not helping with setup, please plan to arrive at the venue no later than 5:20 PM, as the ceremony will begin at 5:30 PM.
