Here’s the thing: Your wedding is SO much more than just a ceremony or a reception. It’s a full weekend filled with unforgettable moments—your closest friends, the excitement of gathering everyone you love in one place, the toasts, the laughter, and even those quiet, unplanned moments that end up being some of your favorites. When you think of it that way, why wouldn’t you want to capture it all?
That’s where full wedding weekend photography comes in. We’re not just talking about the big day. We’re talking about everything—your engagement photos, the fun welcome dinner, the relaxed moments at your farewell brunch, and everything in between.
I want to walk you through how complete wedding photography coverage can capture all those moments, making sure the full story of your love is told.
Engagement Sessions: Where It All Begins
Your wedding photography journey doesn’t start on your wedding day. It starts with your engagement session. This is the first chapter in the story we’re capturing together.
But it’s more than just photos. Engagement sessions give you a chance to get comfortable in front of the camera, and more importantly, with me. We get to know each other, laugh, and figure out what makes you feel the most natural and like yourselves in front of the lens. When your wedding day comes around, you’re totally at ease and not thinking about the camera at all.
Plus, years from now, when you look back on these photos, they’ll remind you of how you felt when this whole adventure was just getting started.
Pre-Wedding Shoots: Building the Excitement
As the wedding day approaches, pre-wedding shoots are an amazing way to continue building the story of your weekend. It could be bridal portraits, a couple’s session at a spot that means something to you both, or even a family shoot before the big day.
This isn’t just about adding more photos to your gallery. It’s about capturing all the love and excitement as it builds up to the main event. These are moments you’ll treasure long after the wedding is over, when you’re reminiscing about the little things that made the whole weekend so special.
Welcome Dinners: The First Big Moment
The first real gathering of your wedding weekend is often the welcome dinner. Picture this: everyone’s together, laughter fills the room, and you can somehow feel the energy and excitement in the air. This is when everything starts to feel real.
It’s such an important part of the weekend—your people, coming together, sharing stories, and celebrating the start of something amazing. The best part? These are the moments that feel natural, unplanned, and completely authentic. These are the moments you’ll want to remember, and with full wedding weekend photography, you won’t miss a thing.
Rehearsal Dinners: A Sneak Peek of What’s to Come
By the time the rehearsal dinner rolls around, everyone’s settling in, the toasts are being made, and the anticipation is real. This is when you start to see the emotions bubble up—the heartfelt speeches, the laughter, the inside jokes, and that look of pure excitement on your faces when you realize it’s all happening tomorrow.
With full wedding weekend coverage, these moments don’t slip through the cracks. They’re part of your story, and they’ll be captured just like the big moments on your wedding day. You’ll look back on these photos and remember exactly how it felt to be surrounded by the people who love you most, just hours before you say “I do.”
The Wedding Day: The Heart of the Weekend
Your wedding day, of course, is the main event. From the moment you start getting ready to the last dance at the reception, this is the day that everyone’s been waiting for. But here’s the thing: with complete wedding photography coverage, you’re not just getting the posed shots and the traditional moments. You’re getting every single detail.
I’ll be there from the quiet moments when you’re getting ready, to the first look (if you’re having one), to the ceremony, the reception, and everything in between. The big moments and the small, candid ones that you’ll cherish forever—they’ll all be captured.
And because we’ve already spent time together at your engagement session and throughout the weekend, you’ll feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. No awkwardness, no stress—just real, beautiful moments.
Day-After Brunch: The Perfect Send-Off
The day-after brunch is like the final chapter of your wedding weekend. The big day might be over, but the love, laughter, and memories continue. This is your chance to relax, reflect, and enjoy one last meal with your closest friends and family before heading off on your honeymoon or back to reality.
These moments might be quieter, but they’re no less important. With full weekend coverage, the farewell brunch is a chance to capture the joy of being newly married, surrounded by the people who mean the most to you. These are the photos that complete the story of your weekend, adding a sense of closure to the whirlwind of love and celebration.
Full Wedding Weekend Coverage: Your Whole Story
Here’s the thing: weddings are about more than just the ceremony and the reception. They’re about the experience, the emotions, and the memories that are made throughout the entire weekend. That’s why full wedding weekend photography is so valuable. It captures every part of your story, from the moment your friends and family arrive to the final hug at the farewell brunch.
Think of it this way: would you want to watch a movie that starts halfway through? Or would you rather see the whole story unfold, from the beginning to the end, with all the laughter, love, and emotion in between? That’s what full wedding weekend coverage offers. It’s about documenting your entire experience, not just the “big” moments, but all the moments that make your weekend uniquely yours.
