As part of your wedding preparations, it is imperative that your memories of this important milestone remain for future generations. Wedding photography packages provide essential services, and understanding what each option includes will allow you to make informed choices when booking or researching potential photographers. Curious as to which option might suit best? Here is an outline of some major components typically covered within these contracts!

This guide explores what should be included in a wedding photography package, how you can select one tailored specifically to your needs, and the services provided by Ra Weddings Photography as one expert wedding photography provider with years of experience capturing unforgettable images for weddings.

1. Photography Coverage

Photography coverage is at the core of every wedding photography package – typically including professional photographers’ time and efforts throughout an event, along with specific hours that most packages provide to document it all!

Packages generally range from several hours of coverage up to full day coverage; photographers often offer base packages which cover 6-8 hours, with the option for adding on extra hours at an additional cost. When choosing your package, take into consideration its purpose – for large celebrations that involve preparations, ceremony and reception coverage on one or two events alike, coverage from start to finish may be needed while more intimate occasions might only require coverage over one or two events.

2. Engagement Photos

Many wedding photography packages now include engagement sessions as part of their offerings, providing couples and photographers a chance to collaborate prior to the big day and capture intimate memories without feeling pressured from an overly tight timeline.

Engagement shoots can be an excellent way to create save-the-date cards, custom invites or displays for your reception – not to mention getting comfortable being photographed before your big day arrives!

3. Second Shooter or Assistant

Many wedding photography packages include an additional photographer known as an assistant who assists the primary shooter to cover every angle and moment during an elaborate wedding ceremony, especially those featuring multiple locations or complex activities simultaneously. A second shooter’s assistance can prove especially helpful during larger events with numerous activities taking place simultaneously! A second shooter service like this one may prove especially valuable at large events featuring lots of happening simultaneously! This service may prove especially handy on large ceremonies featuring lots of dynamic happening simultaneously!

An additional photographer allows for greater creative angles and variety of shots, from candid moments to multiple perspectives. When hosting multiple events throughout your wedding day, make sure your wedding photography package includes two photographers to ensure maximum coverage of each occasion.

4. High-Resolution Digital Images

A core part of most wedding photography packages involves receiving high-resolution digital images after your special day has concluded, for printing out and sharing with family and friends or keeping for future memories – most wedding photographers offer online galleries where clients can directly access these memories directly.

Some packages provide USB drives or DVDs containing high-resolution photos as an add-on, giving you access to high quality files which allow printing at large sizes without degrading image clarity. It is vitally important that resolution be considered; higher quality files enable printing photos without degraded image clarity.

5. Wedding Album or Prints 

Wedding albums or prints are typically included as part of wedding photography packages; their exact contents depend upon which package is selected. Most couples opt to have professional albums created as keepsakes to remind them of the momentous event; some packages provide basic albums while others feature custom designed albums featuring premium paper or finishes for extra style!

Alternative approaches could include gifting prints of your best photos either framed or unframed as focal pieces in their home environment, while custom albums offer something you will treasure always.

6. Wedding Photography Package Add-Ons 

Wedding photographers offer packages tailored specifically to each couple’s individual requirements, while many also provide additional services and add-ons that enhance both you and your guests’ experiences during a celebration – such as photo booths that allow attendees to capture memories easily during events.

Bride Portraits: Before her big day arrives, we take an individual session dedicated to bride portraits where we capture images solely showcasing her beauty and character. Extended Hours: For additional coverage beyond what the initial package allows. Same-Day Edits: Some photographers provide same day editing so edited copies are delivered back after your special event has taken place – handy when editing is not completed until afterward!

Add-ons can add that special something to your wedding photography experience; don’t be intimidated when selecting your package to inquire about them!

7. Editing and Retouching Services

After your wedding is over, photos won’t magically arrive in your hands immediately – photographers invest considerable time editing and retouching each shot – including color correction and cropping adjustments as necessary – in order to give it its maximum visual impact! This includes color correcting as well as any necessary tweaks necessary so they look their absolute best!

Wedding photography packages typically provide basic editing services; more extensive retouching services may even include features like blemish removal and altering facial structures. Should there be specific requests that need to be performed prior to shooting, be sure to notify the photographer as this service might not automatically be included in their package.

8. Price and Payment Options 

Wedding photography packages vary significantly in cost depending on experience, location and level of services included – it’s essential that you choose one which meets both your budget needs as well as offering essential photography services that match what is required of it.

Ra Weddings Photography recognizes that each couple’s needs vary and offers customized packages designed specifically to fit their budgets and individual personalities. From full day coverage to smaller packages, our customizable options give couples everything they need for the ideal photographic experience on their big day!

Before booking a photographer for your big day, ensure to discuss payment options carefully. Most photographers require an initial deposit; with any remaining balance due either prior or following the ceremony. It may be beneficial to inquire about payment plans and refund policies too.

Basic Components of Wedding Photography Packages 

Now that you understand what wedding photography packages typically entail, it is time to select an appropriating package. When making this important choice, keep these considerations in mind when considering potential solutions:
