How Much Coverage Do You Need?

It all started when…

The story of how you met. The first kiss. Who said I love you first. The nerves on the first date. I hope you have photos and memories that come with the story of your love.

When it comes to the story of your wedding day - it’s not just about the ceremony. We are there the whole time capturing the in between moments. We shoot more documentary style - with the appropriate amount of direction.

When you book your venue and hirer your photographer you are still in the beginning stages of making your dream day come to life. You may not know if you want a first look or how many people are in your wedding party. Of if you are even having a wedding party! I get it - and when you hire me you have the ability to add on more time to any package at any time. Even day of.

If you have a planner - your planner will help you create the perfect timeline. In the mean time here is a template to help you decide how much time you might need.

Recommended time for each block:

Getting ready/detail photos: 60 to 90 minutes

First look: 30 to 60 minutes

Wedding party - depending on how big your wedding party is…if you have 4 on each side: 20 minutes. Add on 2 minutes for each additional person.
