Getting Comfortable in front of the Camera
Benefits of a Pre-Wedding Shoot

Tips to Stay Relaxed During Your Photo Session

Choosing the Right Package
Assessing Your Needs
Every wedding is unique, so it’s essential to assess your individual needs when choosing a photography package. Consider factors like the size of your wedding, the length of the ceremony and reception, and the importance of having a second shooter or videographer on board.
Deciding on the Number of Hours
The number of hours you need will depend on the rough timeline of your day. If you want coverage from the start of the day with all the pre-wedding preparations, you might want to consider a longer package.
Adding Video Coverage
Adding video coverage to your package can give you a dynamic memory of your wedding. Videos can offer a different perspective and capture moments in a way static photos can’t.
Considering a Second Shooter
A second shooter can cover multiple angles and capture moments you might otherwise miss. They can be particularly useful during larger weddings, during moments when the couple are often separated or for capturing guest reactions.
Preparing for Your Wedding Shoot

In our pre-wedding consultation, we’ll discuss details and plans for your day. This session is a great opportunity for you to ask any questions and for us to finalize the timeline and details of your wedding.
