Most weddings typically run an average of 8-9 hours. A micro-wedding or elopement would be around 4-5 hours for fewer than 30 people. Here is a general breakdown of how much time is needed for wedding photography:
1-1.5 hours - Getting Ready Photos: Starting from the tail-end of hair/makeup, to getting into the dress/suit/tux, photos of friends and fam hanging out, a bit of set up. We love these prep photos because they set the tone for the day and start the story of your wedding day. These photos also make for great openers for your wedding album and slideshow.
1 hour - First Look with Portraits: This is where the couple sees each other for the first time on their wedding day. Logistically, doing a first look helps tidy up the day and makes it less stressful, grouping formal portraits to the front part of the day so the couple can enjoy their ceremony and reception without worrying if all the key photos have been dealt with.
30 mins - Group Formals: Family, wedding party group photos! Usually it’s immediate family, with extended family happening after either after the ceremony or the during the reception.
30 mins - Ceremony Coverage: This is the average time for a simple ceremony. Other cultural festivities can take up to an hour.
1 hour - Cocktail Hour: Happens right after the ceremony, usually for an hour. Couples may rejoin after signing their documents, or go off with us for more photos since the light is often better later in the day. Whatever you decide, we’ll help list down all the pros and cons.
3ish hours - Reception Coverage: This covers dinner service, toasts, cake-cutting and dancing. If you decide on a sparkler exit or fireworks, more coverage may be needed.
1ish hour here and there for Transition Buffering: For weddings with more than one location (e.g. Hotel to church to reception venue), travel takes time. There’s driving through traffic and parking, some walking perhaps. The fewer transitions, the more time we have for photos!
