    14. Wedding Day Photography Coverage

    You probably have no clue how many hours you should hire your photographer for, and that’s okay. I GOTCHU! In this episode I go over the differences in a 10 hour coverage and 6 hour coverage - specifically what you will not get if you hire your photographer for 6 hours. Then if you listen all the way through, I go over sample timelines for 6, 7, 8, and 10 hour wedding days.
