Many photographers also include telephone or zoom consultations before the wedding. This helps you plan the timeline and discuss any issues that might come up during the day.

Common Inclusions in Full Day Wedding
Photo Packages
Pre-Wedding Consultation
A pre-wedding consultation is often included to ensure your photographer understands your plans. During this meeting, you discuss your schedule, locations, and key moments you want captured. These meetings usually take place over the phone or via a zoom call a week or two before your wedding.
This consultation also helps you build a connection with the photographer. It ensures they understand your expectations, and you feel comfortable with them. This shouldn’t be confused with any calls you would have with your wedding photographer before booking them.
Getting Ready Coverage
Many packages include coverage of the morning preparations. This includes candid moments with your bridal party, details of the dress, rings, and first look between the bride and groom or first look between the bride with her dad.
These images help tell the full story of your wedding day from start to finish. Having your photographer with you on the morning of the wedding will also help with putting ease any nerves about being photographed throughout the rest of the day and help you build a further connection with your photographer.
Wedding Ceremony Photography
Every wedding photography package will of course include coverage for the ceremony. Depending on the photographer you choose this might include two photographers so that every important moment throughout the ceremony is captured.
Coverage typically includes important moments like the vows, exchanging of the rings and the kiss as well as capturing the reactions of your guests. You know what to expect here.
Newly Weds Portrait Photography
Having some beautiful, timeless photos of you and your partner from your wedding day, capturing the special moments celebrating your love for each other, provides wonderful and lasting memories to cherish for many years to come.
There are lots of different styles of wedding photographers in Northern Ireland so what you get from this part of the day will differ quite a lot depending on the photographer you choose.
Wedding Bridal Party and Family Photography
For most couples these photos are important, when else do you have all of your loved ones with you at the same time? Having photos with your nearest and dearest is an important part of a lot of wedding days for a lot of couples.
Some wedding photographers aren’t comfortable shooting group photos and don’t offer them unless asked. We always try to include photos of our couples important people, if that is something they want to do. Typically though most wedding photographers in Northern Ireland will offer the option to do them.
Wedding Reception Photography
Typically wedding reception photography will include coverage for the speeches, the cutting of the wedding cake and the first dance. Some photographers like ourselves will also offer their couples the option of some additional portraits during the downtime between the end of the wedding meal and the start of the dancing.
Some like ourselves will also include some details as well, which can include photos of your wedding cake, room decor etc,
Edited Images
High quality edited images are standard in most packages but not all. These are delivered digitally in high resolution, ready for printing and sharing.
It is not common, but some photographers charge an additional fee for couples to access full resolution images and only provide web sized images as standard.
The editing process as a minimum should include colour correction, cropping, and adjustments to create polished images. Some photographers like ourselves have a signature editing style to ensure consistency and to set them apart from other photographers.
Some wedding photographers use A.I software to edit their images which means that they can provide photos to their couples much quicker. We prefer to hand edit all of our images to ensure we deliver top quality images that match our style.
Wedding Albums and Prints
Many photographers include an album or offer it as an upgrade. Albums come in various sizes and finishes. Depending on the photographer you choose they may offer the option to purchase additional prints or other products at additional cost.
With us, we provide our couples images via a password protected online gallery. The gallery includes access to a high quality print lab allowing couples to purchase prints and wall art from a printing company that usually does not offer products direct to the general public ensuring high quality products.
Optional Add-Ons and Upgrades
Photographers often offer optional extras to enhance your package. Common upgrades include engagement photo sessions and second photographers for more enhanced coverage. As a husband and wife team two photographers are included in all of our wedding photo packages at no additional cost.
Other common upgrade options include the option to upgrade album sizes, the amount of pages included in the album and materials used. Some like ourselves also offer fast edit services, the option to add additional coverage for second day celebrations and the option to purchase prints and wall art.
How to Choose the Right Package for
Your Wedding
Choosing the right package depends on your wedding size, schedule, and budget. Start by deciding how much of the day you want photographed. With most photographers a half day wedding photo package will include coverage from the bride getting ready until the speeches if they are before dinner. A full day wedding photo package will usually include coverage from the bride getting up until the first dance. Some like ourselves also include coverage for an additional couple of songs after the first dance to capture some of the party atmosphere.
If your wedding is intimate, a half-day package may be all the coverage you need. For larger weddings with evening celebrations, full day coverage works probably best. The time of the year may also play a factor. For example lots of couples opt for half day coverage during the winter months as opportunities for additional portraits during the reception part of the day are less likely.
Discuss your priorities with potential photographers. Look at sample galleries, compare what’s included, and consider the value of optional extras before making a decision.
