Let’s be real—wedding days move fast. Between getting ready, saying “I do,” and dancing the night away, every moment counts. That’s why having a plan to coordinate your Rapid City wedding photography and videography schedule matters. Big time.
You want your wedding photos to be stunning. You also want your wedding video to capture the full story. But here’s the thing—your photo and video teams need to work together to make that happen. And when they do? Pure magic.
Here’s how to make it all work smoothly.
1. Book a Team That Knows Each Other
If your photographer and videographer have never met, they may step on each other’s toes. Literally. When you hire both services through one company (like us!), they’re already on the same page. They know how to work around each other. No awkward angles or missed moments.
2. Create One Unified Timeline
You don’t need two separate timelines. That’s a headache waiting to happen. Instead, your wedding photographer and videographer should follow one shared schedule. A good team knows how to split time for each shot. That way, no one’s waiting around, and you stay on track.
3. Prep for the Big Moments
Talk with your team about must-capture moments. This includes things like the first look, vows, first dance, and sunset shots. When your photo and video teams know what to expect, they can position themselves without blocking each other. You get the best angles. No retakes are needed.

4. Plan for Candid Time, Too
Some of the best wedding footage comes when you’re just being you. Laughing with your friends. Sneaking a kiss. Spinning around on the dance floor. Let your team build in time for natural, unposed moments. It makes the whole experience feel real and relaxed.
5. Trust Your Team to Do Their Thing
You’ve hired professionals. Now let them take the lead. A seasoned crew knows how to handle lighting, time crunches, and last-minute changes. If something runs behind, they adjust fast. No panic. Just calm, confident energy.
6. Bundle Services for Less Stress
