For How Long Should You Hire a Wedding Photographer?

Booking a wedding photographer is about just as integral to the event planning processing as deciding on catering and the guest list. Even though many people write 'photography' somewhere in the middle or towards the end of their wedding prep list, they couldn't be doing it more wrong.

Wedding photography deserves to be in the top five of any wedding preparation list for many solid reasons. While other aspects of the event, regardless of how wonderful they may be, will prove to be temporary in the long run, your photographs will remain forever. 

This is why one needs to invest in their wedding photography, in the same manner, they do in other preps and give it the same amount of priority too. Now coming on to the priority part, how exactly does one do this? This surely encompasses booking, discussing the theme of the event, and what you expect the photographer to deliver plus the kind of styling or editing preference you may have.

But another major and important thing the wedding photographer and the client need to discuss will be the hours included in the package. This is where many couples become confused as they have no idea of what the ideal number of hours for coverage must be. 

Here's how you can decide the ideal number of hours for your wedding photography:

To figure out the right package for your wedding, you need to keep in mind the size of the wedding, locations, and of course your budget.

The six-hour package 

If your wedding is going to be an intimate affair with not too many guests and consists of only one location then this package will be perfect. It is also the most economical photography package offered by wedding photographers so that's one upside of it. However, it should be noted that with this package the photographer will not be able to cover extra details given the limited time.

The eight-hour package 

This package is suitable if your guest list has a fair amount of people on it as it will give you more detailed coverage of the event. With this package, you all also get the footage of the pre and post-wedding events.

The ten-hour coverage 

The ten-hour coverage will be the best option for you if the wedding and receptions are taking place in two different locations. As it will give the photographer enough time to shoot at both the locations and cover all the important details.

The twelve-hour package 

If you want to make the event truly memorable and wanna have a large wedding patty than go for this package without any hesitation. It will prove to be the photography package of your dreams with the extra amount of time you'll be given through which you can make you insta worthy wedding dream come true.
