How to Plan Your Destination Wedding Timeline | OohVow Cancun Wedding Talks Ep.2

Planning your wedding day timeline in Cancun? We’re Ivan and Olha from OohVow, a Cancun wedding photography and videography team. In Episode 2 of Wedding Talks, we explain how to make time for beautiful photographs, meaningful moments, and actually enjoying your wedding. When should hair and makeup finish? How much time does a first look need? Will you make it to cocktail hour? And could a sunset ceremony leave you without enough daylight for your couple portraits? We walk through the day from getting ready to the reception, sharing what we’ve learned photographing and filming destination weddings in Mexico. You’ll learn what to discuss with your photographer, videographer, and wedding coordinator before the schedule is finalized. IN THIS EPISODE: • Why “makeup finished” and “ready to leave” are different times • Making room for bridal portraits, bridesmaid photos, and getting dressed • How the size of your photo and video team affects the schedule • Planning a first look, first touch, or private vows • Choosing your ceremony time around the photographs you want afterward • Organizing group pictures, family portraits, and bridal-party photos • Balancing sunset portraits, cocktail hour, and a reception reveal • Allowing for resort transportation, vendor access, and setup • Coordinating speeches, dances, surprises, and vendor meals • Deciding how many hours of wedding photography and videography you need The goal is to plan ahead with your team so you can enjoy the day. Your wedding coordinator should manage the schedule, while you spend time with the people you love.
