Planning your dream wedding is an exciting journey, and one of the most crucial elements is choosing the right photography and videography package. These visual storytellers will help document the moments you'll cherish forever, making it essential to find a package that aligns with your vision. At Joy Photo and Video, we understand the significance of this decision, and we're here to guide you through our offerings to ensure your special day is captured beautifully.
Here are our tips for choosing your perfect wedding photo and video package.
Choosing Your Perfect Wedding Photo and Video Package
The two most important questions to ask yourselves when it comes to choosing your perfect photo and video package are:
1. How much time will we need?
First, consider the format of your event. Is your ceremony and reception taking place at the same location, or is there a significant amount of travel required between locations? It’s important that you have ample coverage and don’t feel like there’s a rush to get specific shots and the overall flow of the event will play an important role in deciding how much time is needed. Keep this in mind: coverage is consecutive. This means that if you purchase a 6 hour photography package, the clock starts when the photographer(s) arrives at the first venue. This would include a getting ready location, if that’s where you want the first footage to be captured. You would then have coverage for 6 hours from this point forward. So, if it's important for your photographer(s) to capture the entire day, from getting ready to the grand exit, then make sure you’re considering all that is involved in your wedding day timeline.
2. How do we envision re-living our memories?
When you envision looking through your wedding memories, are you hoping for an extensive amount of photos for each portion of the wedding? And do you want an online gallery to share with your guests, or is a physical photo album important to you? Now consider video. Do you dream of having a video that you can share on social media or replay on your wedding anniversary? It’s helpful to do a gut check here on what you’re hoping to end up with, because that will guide you closer to the best services for you.
Now that you are getting a better idea of what you want, we’d like to dive into each of our offerings so that you can see what feels right.
