Photos of just the bride and groom

Taylor, on July 13, 2020 at 8:26 AM Posted in Planning 0 9
With the wedding package we chose to book (20 guests, 3 hours), our wedding day schedule seems to be a bit tight. My question is, is 30 minutes going to be enough time for he and I to take pictures? It’s not a huge venue, so it’s not like we’ll be walking around very far to find good picture settings.


Thank you 🙂

    I would push it to at least an hour if you want photo's with your family and wedding party also. The two of you alone could take 30 minutes. You may also want the extra time in case you want to take photo's in different locations or in case you run into some kind of delay.

    Thirty minutes should be enough time for photos of just the two of you as long as you have a professional photographer and you plan ahead.

    It should be fine. If you were trying to do bridal party and family photos also during that time then that would be a different story.

    If it’s just for pictures of you two I think it will be enough time. If you want to include pictures of the venue, guest, etc I would book for at least an hour.

    30 minutes is a good window for couple portraits. If you want photos with family and guests I would say an hour tops.

    I agree with previous posters, 30 minutes is plenty of time for photos of just the two of you. I booked an entire hour for our engagement photos because 30 minutes didn’t seem like enough time since there were several different spots we wanted to take photos in at our location. As it turns out, 30 minutes would have been plenty of time. We actually had TOO much time with the hour & didn't even utilize it. Experienced photographers are very quick and give lots of helpful direction to keep the flow of the session going. Don’t worry, you will get tons of beautiful shots in 30 minutes!!
