How many hours did you hire your photographer?

Two shooters, 7 hours. The only parts we will miss are hair and makeup and I'm ok with that. We'll get some touch up hair and makeup photos just before our first look and as we get dressed. It's good enough for me. And they will be around until our sparkler send off.

Photographer is 8 hours, 1 shooter.

Videographer is 10 hours, 2 shooters.

We have our photographer for up to about 9 hours

We worked out a custom packaged with her based on our needs

We did 8 hours with 2 shooters

ETA: Our photographer suggested a timeline we liked based on the kind of photos we wanted. For example, she said she could get a good variety of dancing pictures in the first 45 minutes to an hour so why pay for extra coverage on that end of the day.

6 hours. From getting ready pictures to reception.

12 hours ... 1130 to 1130

8 hours two photographers

FH and I have booked for 7 hours but we want to bump it up to 8 hours if we can.

Are you doing any getting ready photos or a first look? If so, 5 hours will be tough. Even if you aren't doing a first look, I think it's best to take *some* of the photos before cocktail hour (e.g. you and your SO with your BP (but not each other), you with your family, SO and family, etc) so you'll want the photographer to get there a bit before the ceremony. You can have the photographer leave a bit after the cake cutting to save some time (the same people will be on the dance floor and things get a lot less photogenic). Even so, that would be a tight time line. I would ask to buy 2 hours extra.

6 hours. They are going to be there from 3pm for our first look and getting ready to 9pm which is about an hour after cake cutting. We also have full rights to the pictures which we paid extra for.

8 hours with 2 photographers and 2 videographers for 6 hours

All day.

8 hrs, 2 photographers

I have mine all day he offered a day rate so I'll have him for getting ready photos to the end of the reception

I have mine for 8. 2 shooters

8 hours for 2 shooters and 10 hours for our videographers.

2 Photographers for 10 Hours

2 Videographers for 9 Hours

Both the photographers and videographers left before the end of our reception, but they came early enough to record getting ready footage!

We weren't big on getting ready photos so we have 2 shooters for 6 hours

We have ours for 9, but that is only because we have an early ceremony. she will stay through cake cutting but not the end of the reception.

8 hours, 2 photographers

Mine will be with us for 9 hours.
