Hours for photography at wedding? |
whats the standard amount of hours to hire a photographer for a wedding? i want pics before, during the ceremony and some at the reception. the weddings from 6pm to midnight and its all at the same place. i don't want to ask for too many hours when i could have got what i wanted and dismissed them earlier. I am a wedding photographer, I suggest at least an hour of you getting ready, and hour for the ceremony, an hour or two if you want a lot of photos of just you two, and depending on your reception schedule up until all the official stuff is done (Cake cutting, father daughter dance, etc.) It's your big day, so don't rush yourself or the photographer. If your ceremony starts at 6, start the photographer at 5. But don't have the photographer stay til the absolute end! Maybe a half hour into the dancing is all you need. After that all dancing pictures look the same. If your not planning on getting married again, then this is the time to have great pictures right? So talk to photographers you like, they might be more flexible with their packages than you might think. Good luck! Source(s): http://www.weddingshawaiionline.com... Most photographers I know plan on most of the day. While some will say they're there for a certain amount of hours, I'm not crazy about that, and probably wouldn't hire someone who worked that way. I would work out what photos you want from the wedding, give the photographer your timeline, and let him/her worry about how many hours that will be. Because if you're wanting pictures from getting ready to your leaving the reception--that's all day. One hour for before, one hour for the ceremony, and 2 hours for the reception, with an hour for good measure ( any unexpected problems ). So, five hours should be plenty. Have a great wedding, and a great marriage. My photographer said she did 6 hrs, but she was great. She actually put in about 8 hrs for the same charge we had agreed on. Tell the photographers you interview: I want to pay around $____ for ____ hours. See what they say, and who has the best portfolio and deal. I would suggest at least 8 hours, you don't want to feel rush on you special day. Also you will want to capture pictures of all the special moments. Keep in mind the more pictures you have, the more pictures you have to choose from. I would say for at least 4 hours. You could always put those little cameras for everyone to take pics of you all or the other guest. Then you can get them developed and see what they took pics of at your wedding. |
