Planning a Thai wedding-day timeline that never feels rushed
From the khan maak procession to the evening reception — where to leave slack and when the light is best.

Thai weddings usually have a fixed auspicious morning time, so we plan backwards from it and leave at least 15 minutes before each rite.
Morning: getting ready and details
Have the photographer arrive about an hour before make-up finishes, to shoot the dress, rings and dowry in window light.
Leave time for family photos
- Send the family group list in advance
- Ask one relative to gather people
- Allow 2–3 minutes per group
If there’s an evening reception, steal 20 minutes for golden-hour portraits — often the couple’s favourite frames.
