How many hours of coverage do I need on my Wedding Day?

Every wedding day looks a little different. The right package really comes down to what moments matter most to youand how relaxed you want your timeline to feel.

Below is a simple breakdown of how couples typically use 4, 6, and 8 hours of coverage.

4 Hours of Coverage — For the Essentials

Best for couples who want the highlights without a full-day commitment.

This is a great fit if:

• Your wedding is smaller or more intimate
• Everything is happening at one location
• You’re less focused on getting-ready photos
• You mainly want ceremony + portraits + part of the reception

Typically covers:

• Ceremony
• Family + wedding party photos
• Couple portraits
• The start of the reception (entrances, first dances, toasts)

Keep in mind:
This package is more timeline-driven. We’ll focus on the biggest moments and keep things moving efficiently.

Not Sure What You Need?

Most couples choose 6 hours, then add time if their timeline grows. I’m always happy to help build a coverage plan around what matters most to you, not just the clock.
