Once in a lifetime you meet someone who changes everything...


In my last two blog blogs, we dove into the nitty-gritty of wedding packages and navigated the tricky waters of wedding timelines. Now, it’s time to mash all that info together and figure out how to snag the perfect wedding coverage that vibes with your big day!

Alright, let's rewind and hit play on these essential questions from my past blogs:


  • Feeling a bit camera-shy and craving an engagement shoot?
  • Dreaming of a stunning album to flaunt your fabulous photos?
  • What’s your wedding season, and when does the sun say “goodbye”?
  • Are you all about the highlights, or do you want every magical moment recorded?
  • How far will you be traveling around between venues?
  • Are you Team First Look or sticking to the classic ceremony reveal?
  • Will there be a receiving line, or are we skipping the handshakes?
  • Do you have a lot of people in your wedding party or a large extended family?


Okay now that we have those in mind, let’s take a look at a 6, 8, and 10 hour wedding package.

***Timelines are for summer through early Sept weddings based on wedding parties of 10 (including bride and groom)***

6 hour package

A 6-hour package is like a time capsule of all the day's best moments! It kicks off with those heartwarming scenes of the bride and her mom (or that special someone) as she slips into her stunning gown. Then, we dive into the ceremony and snap some fabulous portraits. For a picture-perfect day, let’s schedule the must-see events like the first dance and cake cutting before dinner, as after dinner concludes, we may be short on time.

01 / 02

Both my 6 and 8-hour packages give you the power to choose between an epic engagement session or a customized album—pick what makes your heart sing! Can’t make up your mind? No worries! You can totally snag the option you didn’t pick as an add on! And for the ultimate experience, my 10-hour package rolls out the red carpet with both the album and the engagement session, all wrapped up in a neat little bow just for you!

8 hour package

If you're all about those gorgeous layflat details and swoon-worthy prep pics, the 8-hour package is what you are looking for! I swoop in an hour before the bride's big reveal to snag those candid moments and lovely details. We’ll snap group shots of the bride and her squad, plus the groom with his crew, giving us plenty of time for wedding party portraits after the "I do's." I'll be there to capture all the tender moments of the ceremony and reception, including 1-2 hours of epic dance floor action and some optional sunset portraits that’ll make you say, “Wow!”
