Deciding on the perfect amount of hours for your wedding photography isn't as straightforward as picking a number out of a hat—it's an art form, especially if you're looking to capture every unscripted moment of your big day. Here's a little wisdom, served with a side of humor, to guide you through figuring it out.
First off, let's map out the rollercoaster of a day you've got planned. A traditional wedding whirls you from the nerve-wracking 'getting ready' phase, through the emotional 'I Do's, onto those stiff but necessary formal portraits, and ends in the chaotic revelry of the reception. And if you’re throwing in a sparkler exit, well, that’s the cherry on top! Now, think about it: each piece of this matrimonial jigsaw needs its moment in the spotlight. Opting for a Birmingham wedding photographer who gets this balance right is like finding a golden ticket—priceless!
But wait, there’s more! The locations of your nuptials play a huge part too. Tying the knot in a single venue in Wolverhampton? That simplifies things. But if you’re darting across Shropshire for that perfect countryside backdrop, or you’ve spread the festivities over several days, you might just need a few extra hours. It's not just about capturing the setting sun glinting off your third glass of champagne; it’s about those laughs, the tears, and the unexpected moments in between.
The golden rule? Chat it up with your wedding photographer—someone who’s seen it all and can help map out the day. Think of it as crafting your personal wedding day script, with me, your trusty Shropshire wedding photography aficionado, directing the shoot. Most couples find that 8-10 hours strikes the right balance, giving you a full day’s coverage without missing a beat.
In essence, while the perfect number of photography hours might vary, setting up a chat with your Birmingham wedding photographer (hey, that’s me!) is the best first step. Let’s make sure we capture every scripted—and unscripted—moment of your wedding day, shall we?
