Understanding Wedding Photography Packages

When you hire a wedding photographer, they usually offer different packages (collections of services) for you to choose from. Think of them as tiers each one offers more coverage, features, or products than the last.

Why Wedding Photography Packages Exist

Packages make it easier to decide what you need. They set a clear price based on a set number of hours and services, which helps you plan your wedding budget confidently.

Typical Package Options

Most photographers offer at least three main types of packages: Basic, Standard, and Premium.

1. The Basic Package (The Essentials)

What it usually includes:

• Shorter coverage: Around 2 to 4 hours of photography, covering the ceremony and a short portrait session.

• Digital photos only: You receive high-resolution digital files (JPEGs) ready for printing.

• Online gallery: A private gallery where you can view and download your photos.

• 
  

Best for: Small weddings, elopements, or couples who only need key moments captured.

2. The Standard Package (The Most Popular Choice)

What it usually includes:

• Medium coverage: About 8 to 10 hours of photography covering getting ready, the ceremony, portraits, cocktail hour, and the first part of the reception.

• All Basic features: Includes digital files and online gallery access.

• Small photo album: A simple, printed album showcasing your favourite images.

Best for: Most medium-sized weddings where you want full coverage from start to finish.

3. The Premium Package (The All-Day Experience)

What it usually includes:

• Maximum coverage: 10 to 12+ hours (or “all day” coverage) so nothing is missed, from morning prep to late-night celebrations.

• Second photographer: To capture more angles and special moments.

• High-end album: A custom, luxury wedding album.
