Your wedding photos are one of the few things that last long after the confetti settles. They capture the moments, people, and details you’ll want to relive for years to come — which is why choosing the right photography package is so important.
As a wedding photographer covering Mid Wales, Herefordshire, and Shropshire, I offer a variety of packages to suit different wedding styles, budgets, and timelines. Whether you’re having a full-day celebration or a small elopement, here’s how to find the package that fits your day perfectly.
1. Decide How Much Coverage You Need
Start by thinking about how much of the day you’d like documented. Some couples only want coverage from the ceremony through to the speeches. Others want the full story — from getting ready in the morning to the dance floor at night.
Here are common options:
Half-day (4–5 hours): Great for intimate weddings or elopements
Full-day (8–10 hours): Covers everything from morning prep to the first dance
Custom coverage: Tailored to suit multi-day events, split days, or destination weddings
3. Consider Pre-Wedding & Engagement Sessions
Many wedding packages now include (or offer the option to add) an engagement session. These relaxed, informal shoots are perfect for getting comfortable in front of the camera and connecting with your photographer ahead of the big day.
They also give you beautiful, personal images to use for invitations, your wedding website, or a signing guest book.
4. Check What’s Included in the Gallery
Be clear on what you’ll receive after the wedding. All my packages include a private online gallery of high-resolution, fully edited images with personal printing rights. Some couples also add:
- Fine-art albums
- Parent albums or print bundles
Always ask about how many images are delivered, the turnaround time, and whether you’ll receive web-size versions for sharing online.
5. Think Long-Term: Albums, Prints, and Legacy
While digital galleries are convenient, nothing beats holding a printed album in your hands. Some packages include a custom-designed album, while others let you add one later. If legacy and keepsakes matter to you, it’s worth investing in one up front.
6. Budget and Value
Wedding photography is an investment — not just in beautiful images, but in peace of mind and your experience on the day. A cheaper package might save money, but could mean less coverage, lower-quality editing, or less support.
Ask yourself:
- Do I feel confident in this photographer’s work and presence?
- Does this package reflect what’s important to us?
- Will we receive the quality and experience we’re hoping for?
7. Tailoring Your Package
Every wedding is unique. I always offer flexibility with coverage, locations, and extras — whether you’re having a small gathering in the hills of Mid Wales or a two-day celebration at a country house in Herefordshire.
