Choosing a Wedding Photography Package | 12 Things, You Need to Know

A wedding photography package is an important investment for any couple planning to get married. But how do you know what should be included and what should be excluded? This post will summarize all the components of a standard wedding photography package and provide clues on picking the best one for your desires. A wedding photographer usually provides a service that includes their time, technique, and equipment to capture photos during your matrimony. A wedding photography package may contain any or all of the following:

  • Wedding Photography coverage

Time is the most important part of a package. Many photographers will offer anywhere from six to twelve hours of coverage, which should be enough time for them to capture all of the details and special moments throughout the day.

  • A second photographer

A second photographer is another important element of the package. It will give you more flexibility to get all the shots you want and provide a lot more variety in your photographs!

  • A pre-wedding photo session

It may include a pre-wedding photo session. These sessions are naturally scheduled with the couple a few months before their wedding and often occur in a meaningful location. Some wedding photography packages include engagement photos. If this is a must-have for you, be sure to find out if the photography package includes them before booking the photographer.

  • A USB stick

Another part of your package might be a USB stick containing all the raw, high-resolution images from the day. This is an excellent option for those who want prints made but don’t necessarily need them in an album format.

  • Digital photographs

If you’ve got a wedding photographer, they should be able to tell you how many photos you’ll get after the event. This solely depends on the package you have selected.

  • Number of prints included

Typically, photographers would offer a variety of prints (6″x4″, 7″x5″, or a larger image for the wall, but not many do it these days).

  • An online Gallery

Your photographer may also offer an online gallery to share with your family and friends, giving them the alternative to order their prints. These individual prints are acquired at a fee. This gallery is password encrypted, and the photographer authorizes the purchases.

  • A wedding album

A wedding album is the traditional print option for weddings. It will contain all of your favorite images and can be ordered directly from your photographer.

  • A large printed canvas/wall art

It might be a framed wedding photograph or a big canvas print for your wall. It should indicate the size of the frame or canvas (or another item), as well as when you can expect to receive it.

  • A preview wedding album

 A preview album is an approval copy (digital version) of the wedding album designated just to let the client have a glimpse or idea of how their album will look like!

  • Slideshow Photos

The photographer may formulate a short clip with music showcasing the outstanding shots from your wedding. This clip is brief and clear, and the images are exceptionally edited.

  • Package Rates/deposits

The photographer service provider should provide you with all of their service details, including the price. It should show a fee, either inclusive or exclusive of VAT. 

It should also clarify how much a deposit is required to secure the booking and when the full package price is due. This varies from nation to nation. In South Africa, The deposit is most likely to be 50% of the total balance to book the date and the remaining balance to be paid weeks or a month before the wedding.

The photographer should also specify the methods of payment. The most popular form of payment is usually the EFT ( Bank transfer ), although other companies have card facilities. It is usually your personal choice in the end.
