Why @tnikcouples basic packages starts with 8 hours?
Preparation shots : Every story starts with an introduction, a slow "build up" to the main part of the story, the wedding!
* DONT FORGET TO INCLUDE TRAVELLING TIME*
- If your preparation place / hotel / house is a distance away from your wedding venue. Give an estimate of 30 mins of travelling time + giving time for your Photographer & Videographer to set up at the venue !
Wedding
Depending on your own venues, some venue packages starts from 4-5 hours. *You have to include changing time too!*
Outdoor shoot / Post - Wedding
Every story has its closing, hence a post wedding where usually we end off with a few couple shots and some shots with your bridesmaids / groomsmens! The closer the location, the lesser travel time needed!
I always tell my clients this.
Why you should do a prewedding is ,
1) As an announcement, to save the date.
2) Lets be real, we don't take much "quality" photos anymore it usually selfies or phone quality never at a background with poses.
3) To be comfortable infront of a camera. not everyone is used to being infront of the camera and to have their photos taken by a photographer.
4) Usually (7/10 times) the photographer / videographer shooting your prewedding is your actual day photographer! Its the best time to ask questions about the wedding!
