What matters right now

Updates automatically from the master timeline.
Your morning plan

Go straight to the Westin

Plan to arrive around 11:00 AM, get parked/prepared, and head upstairs before the 12:00 PM coverage start. No pre-call drone stops.

Get the church and Chicago Winery drone establishing shots when you arrive at those locations later in the day.

Solo-shooter priority

Audio first. Emotion second. Coverage third.

Kayla specifically wants documentary storytelling with real words from the day. Protect clean audio for the private vows, ceremony and all reception toasts. Then chase reactions—especially parents, siblings and grandparents.
