How many hours of wedding photography do you need?
Work backwards from the moments you want to keep. A six-hour collection and a ten-hour collection do not tell exactly the same part of a wedding day. The right choice depends on your timetable, travel and priorities.
Start with the fixed moments
Write down the ceremony, dinner and party times first. Add the addresses and realistic transfers between them. Then mark which preparations, portraits and family combinations matter most. A photographer cannot be in two places at once, so overlapping plans need to be discussed early.
Compare six, eight and ten hours
Six hours may focus on the ceremony, portraits and reception. Eight can give more room for preparations or dinner, depending on the schedule. Ten can cover a broader part of the day, including some evening atmosphere. These are planning examples, not guaranteed inclusions: a late party or long transfer can change what fits.
Protect time together
Instead of one long portrait break, consider whether two short opportunities fit naturally between events. Keep family groups to a written list and nominate someone who knows the guests. Add a buffer around travel and dressing. A relaxed schedule leaves more room for the small moments that make the photographs personal.
Send this with your enquiry
Share your date, venue addresses, the earliest and latest moments you want photographed, and your three priorities. Ask for coverage, delivery, image use, travel and the total price in one proposal. The Vicon Creator prices page gives indicative six-, eight- and ten-hour collections; your actual day determines the final scope.
