Planning your dream wedding involves hundreds of decisions—but one of the most important (and lasting!) is who you trust to capture it all. Choosing a wedding photographer can feel overwhelming, especially when comparing different packages, prices, and styles. In this post, I’ll break down what’s typically included in Vermont wedding photography packages and offer tips on how to choose the right one for your big day.

📸 What’s Typically Included in Vermont Wedding Photography Packages?

Every photographer offers something a little different, but here are the most common elements included in wedding photography packages:

1. Coverage Time

Most packages are based on number of hours of coverage:

4–6 hours – Great for elopements or intimate weddings
8 hours – Covers most of a traditional wedding day
10+ hours – Ideal for large weddings with multiple locations

2. Second Photographer

The Full Day package typically includes a second shooter to capture different angles, groom’s prep, and more candid moments. But the second shooter could be present with any packages.

3. Edited High-Resolution Images

You’ll receive a curated collection of professionally edited digital images, usually delivered via an online gallery and a flash drive.

4. Online Gallery

A private link to view, download, and share your photos with friends and family.

5. Engagement Session

Often included in mid-to-high tier packages, an engagement shoot is a fun way to get comfortable in front of the camera before the big day.

6. Prints or Albums

Premium packages may include a wedding album, custom prints, or even a USB keepsake box.

7. Timeline Planning Help

Some photographers assist with timeline creation to make sure the light, locations, and flow of the day work beautifully for photos.

How to Choose the Right Wedding Photography Package

Here’s what to consider when deciding which package fits your needs (and budget):

1. What’s Your Wedding Day Schedule?

Start by outlining your timeline:

Do you want getting-ready moments captured?
Is there a first look or separate photo session?
How long will the reception go?

If your day is full of events, consider 8–10 hours of coverage.

2. Do You Want an Engagement Session?

Engagement sessions are not only fun but also great practice! If you’re camera-shy or want save-the-date photos, look for a package that includes one.

3. Is a Second Photographer Important to You?

A second shooter allows coverage of both partners getting ready, multiple angles during the ceremony, and more spontaneous moments.

4. What’s Your Budget Range?

Photography is one of the most valuable long-term investments of your wedding. Make sure to prioritize quality, connection, and experience—not just the price tag.

5. Are You Dreaming of a Wedding Album?

If you love tangible memories, look for a package that includes a custom album or print credit.

Bonus Tips:

Ask to see full wedding galleries, not just highlight reels
Read Google reviews or testimonials from past couples
Make sure you connect with the photographer’s style and personality
