How the day comes together
Start with the venue and the portrait spots in Hoboken. The light table on this page is that first pin: sunset, golden hour, and a suggested ceremony time so portraits land in the window that actually holds.
Then add the getting ready address, home or hotel. Travel between those pins is what shapes the morning, not an optimistic guess at drive time.
Aisle & Time turns those pins plus the real sunset into the day: ceremony, family formals, golden hour, and a crew brief everyone can open. Built for Solo, Studio, and Couples.
Inclement weather
Wedding day
The ceremony happens. Rebuild the timeline around the indoor backup and the real sunset in Hoboken. Ask the venue for the rain plan. If none is on file, we list it as no inclement weather alternative listed.
Engagement and portraits
Different rule. If the forecast is ugly, reschedule. No extra fee. Watch rain over 40 percent, temperatures under 35 F or over 90 F, and wind over 20 mph. Rain from 20 to 40 percent, 35 to 45 F or 85 to 90 F, or wind from 15 to 20 mph means proceed with caution.
What to put in the plan now
Venue, portrait spots, getting ready address, and the indoor backup as a second pin so travel still works if you move inside.
What nobody can control
Sun, wind, and rain. We control timing and where we stand. The published timeline is a recommendation and will flex on the day.
