Planning Your Wedding Timeline

Weddings are stressfull

But they don’t have to be!

Hi, my name is Sydney Rose, and I’m your resource for everything on your wedding day, not just a camera and a pairs of eyes. Together, we can plan a stress free wedding day with time to make all your dreams come true!

Whether you have a wedding planner or you’re doing it all yourself, it’s important to know the schedule and timeline for the big day. A flexible plan keeps the day flowing smoothly, so I pad my schedule with extra time and keep us running at least on time, if not early.

A space for those that value the small moments.

Sydney was an absolute DREAM at our wedding! I know we have found our forever photographer that we will call on whenever we need our love so beautifully captured. Not only is she extremely professional, she is so fun and charismatic. You can definitely tell she loves her job. She also has the art of wedding photography down to a science. The entire process was very smooth and easy. There is so much to worry and fret over during the season of wedding planning, but we never had to worry about our pictures thanks to Sydney! I also had the amazing opportunity to have her take my bridal portraits. I have never felt so hyped up and special! She carried this same energy to the wedding day with both me and my husband. It was so important to me that he felt like it was his day too, and I love the solo shots she got of him. She was so fast with our sneak peaks and even sent us the sweetest thank you box after our wedding. We are so thankful for her. We love you!
