How to Choose the Right Photography Package for you
We know you already have so much to consider when it comes to planning your wedding, so we thought we’d take one thing off your plate and share our advice for choosing the right wedding photography package for your special day. As always, it comes down to what fits best with YOU and your plans, but here are a few little pointers to get you started.
Do you love a party?
Firstly, here’s how we structure our wedding photography packages:
THE WORKS
12 hours coverage: Absolutely everything from getting ready through to the final farewells.
THE HIGHLIGHTS
10 hours coverage: The best moments from getting ready through to all the action on the dance floor.
THE ESSENTIALS
8 hours coverage: Getting ready + ceremony + family photos + couples portraits + early celebrations. OR Ceremony + family photos + couples portraits + late celebrations.
THE ONE JUST FOR YOU

We structure them this way because we like to take the time to capture your wedding day love story in its entirety. It complements our natural, documentary style of photography, and in our experience, this usually takes from 8 to 12 hours.
It means we can make sure none of the magic moments from your special day are missed, and gives you a great framework to start with when thinking about all the things you’d love captured!
Here are some of the questions we will ask you so we can find the best package for you:
Where will you be getting ready?
Will you be getting ready together or apart? Will you want to look back on your photos and see what your partner’s day looked like before you met down the aisle?
Do you have any special traditions?
Do you love a party?
Will you want photos until the very end of the night or just to capture a little bit of the party?
Do you have any special traditions?
We also look at the time of the sunset to ensure you get beautiful photos during the nicest, softest light of the day. These are all factors when determining how long your wedding photography package should be.
If you’re curious? Our most popular package is 10 hours. That covers all the best bits from getting ready to getting down on the dance floor. We always think when you’ve gone to all the effort to plan the day of a lifetime it’s fantastic to have great quality photos of as much of the celebration as possible!
Of course, we know things can change all the way up to your wedding day, so we don’t lock in the final plan until a month or two before your wedding. You can make changes to your package all the way up until then, so there’s no pressure to get it right first go! All you need is a deposit to lock us in for your special day, and we’ll work through which package is right for you together.
We’ll also never up-sell you on a package. It 100% comes down to which parts of the day are most important to you, and which package will capture them all. We’ll never convince you to get more coverage than you need.
