So, you’ve chosen Gdańsk for your wedding? Brilliant choice! Between the charming Old Town, the Motława River, and the soft Baltic breeze — Gdańsk is a dreamy canvas for your love story. But before we talk about cake tastings and Polish vodka toasts, let’s focus on something crucial — your wedding day photography timeline.
Why Does a Wedding Photography Timeline Even Matter?
Because you don’t want to miss the laughter when your best friend trips on the dance floor, the tear rolling down your grandma’s cheek, or that magical golden hour glow that makes every couple look like royalty (yes, even after 12 hours of nerves). Without a good plan, your photographer might just be chasing the sunset... literally.
Gdańsk Wedding Photography Timeline Sample (With First Look)
Summer wedding, ceremony at 5:30 PM, venue: Villa Eva or Hotel Almond.
✨ 11:30 AM — Getting Ready
In the cozy hotel room or chic apartment in the Old Town. Hair, makeup, champagne, and giggles — all deserve to be captured.
✨ 1:30 PM — First Look
A secret moment before the chaos. The hidden gardens of Oliwa Park are perfect for this.
✨ 2:00 PM — Couple Portraits
Golden cobblestone streets, riverside charm, or even the famous Żuraw crane. Gdańsk is like a movie set.
✨ 3:00 PM — Wedding Party Photos
Your crew, your style. Formal? Silly? Both? Why not?
✨ 4:00 PM — Family Portraits
Quick, organized, and yes — Uncle Marek must be in at least one photo, even if he’s already started the party early.
✨ 5:30 PM — Ceremony
Exchange vows with Baltic air as your witness.
✨ 6:00 PM — Just Married Moments
Fresh, candid, in love. Right after the ceremony is the perfect time to sneak away for a few minutes.
✨ 7:00 PM — Reception Begins
Speeches, laughter, and dancing into the night.
