What Time Should We Get Married?

Your interactive Glacier National Park ceremony time planner.

You've already chosen your photography coverage. This guide will help you figure out when that coverage should begin, where your ceremony could fit, and what time to consider for your permit application.
Let's Make This Easy

We'll build your timing around the light.

Instead of guessing when your ceremony should happen, we'll start with sunrise or sunset and work from there.

1

Choose your date

We'll find the approximate sunrise and sunset for your elopement day.

2

Add your plans

Select anything happening before your ceremony, like a first look, private vows, or getting-ready photos.

3

See your timing

Your suggested photography start and ceremony time will update as you go.

Your permit time is not necessarily when photography starts.

Your coverage may begin before your ceremony for a first look, private vows, getting-ready photos, or travel. This planner helps you see how all of those pieces fit together.

Step One

Start with your date + coverage.

Enter the photography coverage you've already booked. This does not change your package — we're simply figuring out where those hours fit best.

Which light are you planning your day around?

Blue hour can be SO cool in Glacier, especially with lanterns. Because this changes where I place your coverage, I'll personally double-check the exact timing with you.

Step Two

What's happening before your ceremony?

Tap anything you're already planning. Each selection adds time before your ceremony and your recommendation below will update automatically.
