How many hours to budget for wedding photography?


We're taking all of our photography before the ceremony, since the reception begins immediately following (evening ceremony so it'd be best to take all pictures earlier in the day).

I know I will fix a timeline more accurately with the photographer, but so I can approximate for my family's sake...I'd like to estimate when to start the photography.

We have brides' family, grooms' family, 5 bridesmaids, 5 groomsmen, private B&G photos, 2-3 locations all within 1/2 mile from each other.

Should I budget 30 mins for each group or more like 1 hour per group?

From those of you who have already experienced, I've love to hear from you!

Thanks!

I know our photographer could not get enough photos of us... I would suggest to leave at least an hour per group + travelling times. You would do best talking to your photographer though - they will know better how long they take.

You'll need time for arrival, touching up/primping, setting up shots, etc. I'd schedule 45 minutes to one hour at each location.

when the wedding parties take their pictures before the ceremony at the church where i work, it usually takes them 3 hours to do. that includes any outside pictures they do. as you will be doing some driving around to different locations i would add at least another 2 hours more.
