The six-hour package is completely flexible and can be tailored to suit your wedding day, but the outline below reflects the most common way couples choose to use it.

I usually suggest starting coverage around 30 minutes before your ceremony, which allows time to photograph the setup before guests arrive.

Most ceremonies run for about 15-30 minutes, followed by the walk back down the aisle and those first hugs and congratulations from your guests.

Family photos typically come next, with bridal party portraits usually taking around 30 minutes. This timing can be adjusted depending on your schedule, location, and the size of your bridal party.

If time and weather allow, sunset photos are always a beautiful addition. Depending on your ceremony time, a six-hour package will generally cover most, if not all, of the key formal moments of the day.

Here is a potential timeline:

• 3:30pm – Photographer arrives at the ceremony location to capture the setup before guests arrive
• 4:00pm – Ceremony
• 4:30pm – Ceremony concludes, followed by hugs, congratulations, and candid moments with guests
• 4:45–4:55pm – Family photos
• 5:00–5:30pm – Bridal party photos
• 7:00–7:30pm – Sunset portraits (weather and timing permitting)
• 7:45–9:30pm – Reception coverage (entrances, speeches, atmosphere, and candid moments)
• 9:30pm – Coverage concludes
