What’s Included in Your Wedding Photography Package
Each wedding photography package includes:
-
Professional coverage by a lead photographer
-
High-resolution digital images delivered through an online gallery
-
Timeline guidance to help plan portraits, family photos, ceremony coverage, and reception moments
-
Clean, consistent edits with natural skin tones
-
Easy downloads, sharing options, and print ordering
-
Optional print packages and wedding albums
Packages can also be customized with additional hours, engagement sessions, bridal sessions, rehearsal dinner coverage, wedding video, photo booth rentals, and album upgrades.
Most couples choose the Premium or Luxury collections because they include more breathing room in the timeline, engagement coverage, and stronger print or album value.
STANDARD
This package fits well if your day is simple and organized, with one main venue or limited travel. You’ll have enough coverage for ceremony moments, portraits, family photos, reception highlights, and the key parts of the story without adding extras you may not need.
PREMIUM
This is a good fit if you want time to get comfortable in front of the camera before the wedding day. The engagement session gives you polished images for save-the-dates, announcements, your wedding website, or prints, while keeping the wedding day coverage clear and dependable.
LUXURY
This package works well for weddings with getting ready coverage, a first look, multiple portrait locations, a larger wedding party, or a more detailed reception flow. The extra coverage helps keep portraits relaxed and gives more room for candid moments, details, and transitions throughout the day.
ELITE
This package is built for couples who want a full wedding-season story, not just the wedding day itself. It gives you more time, more finished keepsakes, and a private bridal or boudoir session that can be used for an album, gift, or personal archive.

Booking + Payment
A signed agreement and retainer officially reserve your date. The remaining balance is due 24 hours before your event start time.
Final galleries and films are delivered digitally. Typical turnaround is 2–4 weeks, depending on the service, event size, and editing needs.
Your exact delivery timeline will be confirmed in your contract.
Need Something Custom?
Some couples only need simple photo coverage. Others want photography, video, and a photo booth handled together.
That’s why I offer custom wedding packages. You can mix the services that fit your plans, your timeline, and your budget without paying for extras you do not need.
If you are not sure what coverage makes the most sense yet, that’s fine. I can help you compare options and build a package around your wedding day.
Which Package Is Right for You?
Choosing wedding coverage usually comes down to how much of the day you want photographed, how many locations are involved, and how much portrait time you want built into the timeline.
8 hours is a good fit if you want ceremony coverage, family photos, couple portraits, and most of the reception with an efficient timeline.
10 hours is better if you want getting ready moments, more relaxed portrait time, multiple locations, or fuller reception coverage without feeling rushed.
Add-ons can make sense if your wedding includes a rehearsal dinner, second line, extended exit, extra portrait location, photo booth, or video coverage.
If you’re unsure what you need, I’ll recommend coverage based on your venue, ceremony time, reception schedule, portrait priorities, and any special plans for the day.

How to Choose Your Wedding Photography Package
Most couples do not need “more hours” just to have more hours. They need the right coverage plan for the way their wedding day is actually moving.
Here’s the simplest way to choose a package that fits your timeline, priorities, and budget.
Start with your timeline
If your day includes getting ready, a first look, a full ceremony, family photos, portraits, and reception moments, you’ll want coverage that gives everything enough room without rushing. Shorter timelines usually work best for intimate weddings, smaller guest counts, or more streamlined schedules.
Consider your guest count and logistics
More guests, multiple locations, and larger wedding parties usually mean more time is needed for family photos, wedding party portraits, transitions, and travel. Building that time in ahead of schedule helps your portraits feel more relaxed.
Decide what matters most: coverage, products, or both
Some couples care most about full wedding-day coverage. Others want albums, prints, and wall art so their images live beyond the screen. If both matter to you, choose a collection that includes stronger print or album value.
Think about a second photographer
A second photographer helps cover more angles and more moments, especially during getting ready, the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. It also helps keep the timeline moving when important things are happening at the same time.

Second photographer coverage is a strong option for larger weddings, separate getting-ready locations, busy timelines, full ceremony coverage, and couples who want a more complete view of the day.
