Hourly Wedding Photography Packages: Perfect for Intimate Celebrations

Weddings come in all shapes and sizes, from grand affairs spanning entire days to smaller, more intimate gatherings that feel like a cozy celebration of love. Over the past year, I’ve noticed a growing trend of couples choosing to host shorter, more personal weddings, often focusing on the moments that mean the most to them.

In response to this shift, I’m thrilled to announce that I’m now offering hourly wedding photography packages, tailored specifically to smaller, more intimate weddings.

Why hourly packages?

Full-day wedding photography coverage has its place—it’s ideal for spread out timelines, elaborate ceremonies, and big receptions. But for couples planning shorter events or those focused on a few key moments, full-day coverage may feel excessive.

Hourly packages allow you to:
• Save on costs: Only pay for the time you actually need.
• Customise your coverage: Whether it’s a heartfelt ceremony, a stunning portrait session, or toasts at a cozy dinner, we can focus on the moments that matter most to you.
• Keep things intimate: Smaller weddings often have a laid-back vibe, and these packages are designed to reflect that relaxed yet meaningful energy.

What’s Included in Hourly Packages?

With an hourly package, you’ll still get the same quality and care as my full-day bookings. Here’s what you can expect:
• Flexible Coverage: Book as little as two hours or up to seven hours, depending on your needs.
• Beautiful Images: A curated collection of edited, high-resolution photos, ready for you to print, share, and treasure.
• Consultation: We’ll discuss your timeline and key moments to ensure I’m there when it matters most.

Who Are Hourly Packages For?

These packages are perfect if you’re planning:
• A micro-wedding with just your closest family and friends.
• A registry office ceremony followed by a simple celebration.
• An elopement in a beautiful, meaningful location.
• A vow renewal where it’s all about the two of you.
