Does your photographer eat at your wedding?
When it comes to your wedding planner, photographer and videographer, plan to have them eat while dinner is being served at the reception—that way they won’t miss anything major. Ideally, they should be fed during cocktail hour—so before your guests are seated for dinner.
How far in advance should you book your wedding photographer?
In short, you should book your wedding photographer after you book your venue to be on the safe side (ideally 12 months before the wedding). Unless you are eloping, then you may have to wait until a few months before your wedding date.
How many photos do you get in a wedding package?
On average, you can expect around 400 photos (out of roughly 2000 photos) after an 8-hour wedding shoot coverage. For a wedding event, you can also hire more than one wedding photographer for more photos. We would suggest that you do not look at the number of wedding photos.
