How much wedding photography coverage do I need?

Heyyy y’all Lovers!!

Did you just find your dream venue or location? I am so excited for you!! The next thing you will want to get off your list, is booking your dream photographer but you may have some questions about wedding photography, specifically, you might be wondering how many hours of photography coverage you’ll need for your wedding or elopement.

Now, that’s where I come in – so don’t worry – I’ve gotcha!

Seven Hours of Photography Coverage

Now, first and foremost, I need to just say, your wedding, your day, your say! Your wedding or elopement can be whatever you need it to be, secondly, you’ve probably been asking around and seen many seven hour packages – yes, seven hours is by far one of my most popular offerings, the Lovers are obsessed!!!

This is because most of brides and grooms choose a venue where the whole wedding day can be in one place, I am so obsessed with The Woods Venue or Emily Moon River, which cuts down on travel time that would add hours to your day and timeline. Seven hours is typically the minimum amount of time you’ll need to capture everything from the getting ready and all your decor elements, until about 30 minutes of dancing!
