Getting Ready (2-4 hours):
The getting ready phase is a sentimental and candid time that sets the tone for the day. Many couples choose to capture these intimate moments, from the bride and groom's preparation to family and bridal party interactions. Hiring a photographer for 2-4 hours during this period ensures that no precious moment is missed.
This time is also the perfect opportunity for your photographer to capture all of your carefully selected details and make those stunning flat lays we all love so much!
Post-Ceremony and Portraits (1-2 hours):
The ceremony is the heart of the wedding day. From the walk down the aisle to the exchange of vows, this part is a must-capture. Allocate 1-2 hours for the ceremony, giving your photographer enough time to capture the details and emotions without feeling rushed. This time can also include first looks before the ceremony or private vow readings.
Post-Ceremony and Portraits (1-2 hours):
Following the ceremony, there's often a period for family photos, bridal party shots, and couple portraits. Setting aside 1-2 hours for this ensures you have a variety of images capturing the joy and excitement of the day.
Reception (4-6 hours):
The reception is where the celebration truly kicks off. From the grand entrance to speeches, toasts, and the first dance, this part of the day is filled with memorable moments. Hiring a photographer for 4-6 hours during the reception ensures coverage of key events and dancing into the night.
Late-Night Events (Optional):
If your wedding includes late-night events such as a sparkler exit, an after-party, or any unique elements, consider extending your photographer's coverage to capture these moments.
Other Moments to Capture:
Some couples might want even more captured either on the day like getting ready at a salon or offsite
Also, think about having your rehearsal dinner captured! These are all once-in-a-lifetime moments that deserve to be preserved in a timeless and artful way for eternity!
