Wedding Photography FAQ
How much time should I schedule for photographs?
The ball is in your court for scheduling. We recommend at least an hour for images of bridal party and bride & groom. The more time you schedule, the more images of yourselves alone that you’ll receive. It’s ideal to schedule photographs of Bride & Groom just before sunset. However, if you are unable to commit to that length of time, a bridal session can supplement timing-issues.
