Wedding Day Coverage Guide

Choosing the right amount of coverage for your wedding day is essential for capturing every beautiful moment. This guide will help you determine how many hours of coverage you may need based on your wedding plans and personal preferences.

6-Hour Package

  • Ideal For: Couples wanting coverage from the ceremony onward.

  • Typical Schedule:

    • Coverage begins just before the ceremony starts.

    • Focus on capturing key moments such as the vows, ring exchange, and the first kiss.

    • After the ceremony, we will take family portraits and bridal party photos.

  • Considerations:

    • This package is perfect for intimate weddings where the majority of the focus is on the ceremony and reception.

    • If you have special moments or traditions during the ceremony, make sure to share these with us so we can be prepared.

8-Hour Package

  • Includes:

    • Coverage starts 2 hours before the ceremony.

    • This option is great for couples who want additional time to document their wedding day.

  • Getting Ready:

    • Capture the bride and groom preparing for the big day, including details like the dress, accessories, rings, and candid moments with family and friends.

    • This time allows for a relaxed atmosphere and the opportunity to document personal touches and emotions.

  • Mock Exit Option:

    • Couples have the option to schedule a mock exit for fun, staged photos in case the photo or video coverage ends before the actual send off.

    • Note: Some brides and grooms prefer not to do a mock exit as they feel it can disrupt the mood for guests, making it seem like the event is ending. Consider your guests’ experience when making this decision, and let us know if you choose to go this route!

10-Hour Package (Most Popular)

  • Ideal For: Couples looking for comprehensive coverage of their wedding day.

  • Typical Schedule:

    • We arrive 2-4 hours before the ceremony starts, allowing for plenty of time to capture all the important moments leading up to the ceremony.

  • Photography Opportunities:

    • This package is perfect for couples planning a first look, first touch, or private vow reading. These intimate moments can be beautifully captured without the pressure of time.

    • Ample time is allocated for photographing the groom and groomsmen separately from the bride and her bridesmaids, ensuring everyone looks their best.

    • If a first look is planned, both bridal parties can be photographed together before the ceremony, allowing for a smoother transition after the ceremony when we focus on family portraits.

  • Benefits:

    • With this option, you can ensure that all the details of your day are documented, from pre-wedding jitters to the last dance at the reception.

12-Hour Package

Making Your Decision

When deciding on your coverage, consider the following factors:

  • Timeline of Events: Review your schedule to determine how much time you need for getting ready, traveling, and post-ceremony festivities.

  • Location Changes: Will you be moving from one venue to another? If so, factor in travel time.

  • Photography Style: Do you want specific moments captured, such as a first look, mock exit, or extensive family photos? Discuss these elements with us to ensure they can be included in your timeline.
