Once in a lifetime you meet someone who changes everything...
Let’s Hit Pause on the Chaos (Just for a Sec!)
Whew! We’ve talked wedding packages, we’ve tackled wedding day timelines, and now it’s time to mix all that magic together. Because when it comes to your big day, you deserve more than a bunch of rushed snapshots—you deserve moments so magical, you’ll wish time could stand still.
So how do you make that happen? By choosing a wedding timeline that actually works for your day and picking the wedding photography package that captures everything you care about.
Time to Press Rewind...
Hold up! Before you peek at packages, let’s go back and answer a few key questions:
- Are you dreaming of a cozy engagement shoot before the big day?
- Is an heirloom-worthy album a must-have?
- What season are you getting married—and when does the sun set?
- Are you traveling between venues? (Don’t forget drive time!)
- Do you want all-day coverage or just the highlights?
- Team First Look or waiting for that aisle moment?
- Big wedding party? Giant family? Let’s plan for it!
- Sparkler exit or dance-floor finale?
- Your answers = your blueprint for a stress-free wedding timeline and the perfect coverage.
Okay now that we have those in mind, let’s take a look at a 6, 8, and 10 hour wedding package.
**These sample wedding day timelines are perfect for summer through early September and built for wedding parties of 10 (bride + groom included!)**
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!
Wedding PACKAGES
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!”
