How many hours of photography?

How many hours of photography are you booking?

Are you adding any extra hours? Or did you find someone with all-day coverage?

    We did five hours of photography and a second shooter. We ended up letting her leave early because she was doing nothing besides sitting and texting.

    Found an amazing, local Greek photographer who can photograph my entire wedding weekend for $3,000. His coverage includes:
    Friday Night Welcome Party (as many hours as we want him)

    All Day Saturday Wedding (along with a second photographer here)

    Sunday Beach Day Party (as many hours as we want him)

    I'm so excited after seeing his work and meeting him in person. It's a great deal.

    Ten hours with the main photographer, eight with a second shooter (they'll leave early)

    Eight hours with both videographers.

    Eight hours for 2 shooters which also includes an engagement session. If we skip the engagement session we can opt for an extra hour of coverage.

    We just booked our photographer today!! We booked 8 hours for her and a second shooter.

    Follow up question. What time did you have them arrive and leave in regards to getting ready and staying through the reception?

    2 photographers for 10 hours, I believe that was the standard package for our photographer.

    We have our photographer for 6 hours and a second shooter for 4 hours! We are thinking about adding an extra hour to get getting ready shots, but we are debating on whether the extra cost is worth it just for a few shots of makeup and hair.

    We have 8 hours, but that includes nearly an hour of driving. He will arrive at 2:00 to do photos before the ceremony, drive to the ceremony, take more after the ceremony, drive to the reception with a second shooter, and stay until 10:00. I think 8 hours is more than enough, but overall the package was worth it.

    I got my photographer for a full 10 hours. I was only planning on 6-8 hours but it was too good of a deal to pass up!
