How Many Hours Should I Book My Wedding Photographer For?

Planning how many hours of wedding photography you need can be overwhelming. This guide helps you navigate the process by understanding your wedding day timeline, prioritizing key moments, and choosing the right package to ensure every precious moment is captured beautifully without breaking the bank. From building a wedding timeline to deciding on a first look, this article provides insights to make your wedding day photography stress-free and memorable

Uncertainty in Planning Planning a wedding involves many details, and knowing how many hours of photography you need can be one of the most confusing parts.

Ensuring Adequate Coverage You want to ensure all significant moments are captured without paying for unnecessary hours.

Tailored Coverage Based on Your Day By understanding your wedding day schedule and prioritizing key moments, you can select the right photography package that meets both your needs and your budget.

Building a Wedding Timeline Always include extra time in your schedule to avoid feeling rushed. Unexpected delays can happen, and it’s better to have extra time and not need it than to stress about fitting everything in.

First Look Having a first look can be a private and calming moment before the ceremony, allowing you to spend more time together and take more photos without the pressure of guests waiting.

Weddings Without a First Look If you choose not to have a first look, plan for extra time during the cocktail hour for formal photos. Ensure everyone knows they’ll be needed for pictures immediately after the ceremony.

How Long Do Wedding Photos Take? Standard packages usually range from 6 to 10 hours. Here’s how different packages can fit your day:



  • 6 Hour Package:

Kara and Ryan: A Love Story for the Ages

📸✨ Capturing Kara and Ryan's fairytale wedding at the stunning Bozeman Mountain Escape was an absolute dream! From their first CrossFit encounter in Nashville to their heartfelt "I do's" in the majestic Montana landscape, their love story is a testament to adventure, growth, and unwavering commitment. 💍❤️

Capturing Authentic Moments

Many couples struggle to find ways to capture their wedding day that truly reflect their unique love story and personalities. Traditional photography often feels too posed and fails to convey the genuine emotions of the day.

Finding the Right Venue

Selecting a venue that not only looks beautiful but also complements the couple's story and style can be challenging. Many venues can be either too commercial or lack the intimate charm couples are looking for.

Personalized Wedding Photography and Unique Venues

By choosing personalized wedding photography and a unique venue like Bozeman Mountain Escape, couples can ensure their special day is captured in a way that truly represents their journey. With a focus on authentic moments and a picturesque setting, every photograph will tell the story of their love.

Capturing the Magic of Their Wedding Day at Bozeman Mountain Escape

On Sunday, May 26, 2024, Kara and Ryan celebrated their love at the beautiful Bozeman Mountain Escape in Livingston, MT. Their journey, filled with joy, adventure, and heartfelt moments, led them to this perfect day.

How It All Began

Kara and Ryan's story began in an unexpected place—a CrossFit gym in Nashville, TN. Kara was pushing through a grueling set of burpees, and Ryan, watching her determination, thought to himself, "Wow! She has some gravel in her gut." Intrigued, he soon mustered the courage to ask her out on a date. To his delight, she said "Yes!"

Falling in Love

Their connection grew stronger with each passing day. They embarked on adventures big and small, from sampling the best chicken wings in Tennessee and camping in monsoon conditions to enjoying movies, dining at fancy restaurants, and even washing their cars together. Each experience brought them closer, deepening their understanding and love for one another.

A New Chapter in Bozeman

In 2022, Kara and Ryan moved to Bozeman, MT, to start the next chapter of their lives together. Living in the "great white north" presented new challenges, like driving in snow and budgeting with two incomes. Through it all, they supported each other, learning to navigate the quirks of cohabitation. Their love grew stronger with each new lesson and shared experience.

The Proposal

By 2023, Kara and Ryan knew they were ready for the next step in their relationship. In December, under the watchful eyes of the bison and wolves in Yellowstone National Park, Ryan asked Kara to spend the rest of her life with him. Her answer was a resounding "Yes!"

The Wedding Day

As Kara and Ryan stood together at Bozeman Mountain Escape, surrounded by family and friends, they reflected on their incredible journey. From the CrossFit gym in Nashville to the majestic landscapes of Montana, their love story has been one of perseverance, growth, and unwavering commitment.

Join us in celebrating the start of Kara and Ryan Van Sluytman's new life together. May their days be filled with continued adventure, laughter, and the deep love that has brought them to this beautiful moment.

Capturing Love: Alex and Jason's Intimate Fall Wedding at the Depot Center

🍁✨ Capture Love in its Purest Form! 📸💕 Join us on a journey to the heart of intimacy as we delve into Alex and Jason's enchanting fall wedding at the Depot Center in Livingston. 🍂 From the rustle of autumn leaves to the warmth of heartfelt vows, every moment was a testament to the beauty of simplicity. Dive into their love story through our latest blog post!

Traditional weddings can often be overwhelming with large bridal parties and extravagant details, leaving couples longing for a more intimate and meaningful experience.

Many couples feel overwhelmed by the pressure to conform to traditional wedding expectations, including large bridal parties and extravagant ceremonies, which can detract from the intimacy and authenticity of their special day.

Alex and Jason opted for a small, intimate wedding at the Depot Center in Livingston, embracing the simplicity and beauty of a fall day.

As the leaves painted the landscape in hues of gold and crimson, love was in the air at the Depot Center in Livingston. Against the backdrop of nature's exquisite autumn palette, Alex and Jason exchanged vows in a heartfelt ceremony, surrounded by the serene beauty of the season. And I had the privilege of capturing every tender moment through my lens.

It was a crisp October day, perfect for a cozy and intimate wedding. Unlike traditional weddings bustling with bridesmaids and groomsmen, Alex and Jason chose to keep their celebration simple and focused on the essence of their love for each other.

From the moment I arrived, I could sense the excitement and nervous anticipation in the air. Alex, radiant in a flowing ivory gown, looked every bit the epitome of a blushing bride. Jason, dapper in his tailored suit, awaited his beloved with a mixture of joy and nervousness.

The Depot Center, with its rustic charm and picturesque surroundings, provided the ideal setting for their special day. As the ceremony commenced, the gentle rustle of leaves and the soft whisper of the wind added an ethereal quality to the proceedings, enhancing the intimacy of the moment.

With only a handful of close family and friends in attendance, the focus remained squarely on Alex and Jason as they exchanged heartfelt vows and rings, promising to journey through life together, come what may.

As a photographer, it was a privilege to witness such raw and genuine emotion. Every smile, every tear, and every stolen glance spoke volumes about the depth of their love and commitment.

After the ceremony, we took advantage of the golden hour light to capture some breathtaking portraits amidst the stunning fall foliage. Against nature's canvas, Alex and Jason's love shone brightly, illuminating the surroundings with warmth and happiness.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, signaling the end of a magical day, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the opportunity to document such a beautiful love story. Alex and Jason's wedding was a testament to the fact that sometimes, all you need is each other and a beautiful fall day to create memories that last a lifetime.

As I packed up my camera gear and bid farewell to the newlyweds, I couldn't help but smile, knowing that I had played a small part in preserving their love story for generations to come. Here's to Alex and Jason, may your journey together be filled with endless love, laughter, and countless cherished moments.

Your love story deserves to be captured in its purest form, free from distractions and extravagance. Let us immortalize your special day with intimate and heartfelt photography.
