The most frequently asked questions from couples intending to get married is, “How much do you charge? What packages do you have and what is included in the packages?”
A photography and video package is a combination of many elements depending on the duration, size, and style of your wedding. Here’s what you can expect in a wedding photo and video package.
This is a sample photo and video wedding package template.
1. Photography
Depending on the duration of your wedding day, your photographer captures the moments of the day from getting ready (salon and makeup), ceremony, creative photo shoot, reception and dinner and after party. Some weddings can take up to 17 hours (from 6am to midnight) while others take less time. Nonetheless, there are various services offered under studioroccospagnaldi photography;
-
2 or more photographers.
A minimum of 2 photographers is required for efficiency and division of labour. Certain activities happening concurrently such as the bride and groom getting ready in separate places need different photographers to capture the moments. More photographers are also needed to capture different creative angles of the whole event.
Still, the size of the wedding determines the number of photographers. A big wedding of over 1000 people requires more photographers to effectively cover the occasion while a small wedding may require an average of 2 photographers. Often times, couples with many guests hire more than one photography company. It is advisable to stick with one company that can provide you with skilled photographers who can get the job done.
