Help - Can't Decide!!!!

[JDR2b777]

Ok my ceremony is at 7:30PM -

Past Brides - Did you have someone film during your getting ready?

I can't decide between a 6 hour or 8 hour videography. I know 8 hour would get everything from like 4PM until 12AM.

With 6 HOURS it could be from 5:30PM until 11:30PM or 5 - 11PM. I just don't know what time I need to be ready for photos before the ceremony.

STAN has most of his packages listed for 5HOURS (reasonably priced for me).

Can someone give me a TIME outline of what you DID for your video and photo?! Did you have getting ready shots or video??? HELP ME PLEASE w/ time. I am SOO CONFUSED!!

Most of Stan's package run for 5 hours - can you get everything filmed within 5 hours. Post & pre ceremony?

We had a 7:30 reception as well and started pictures at 5pm
(Did all our together shots as well)...worked out really well with the eight hour package because our reception went a little past 1am....and we wanted to be at our pre-reception for illuminations…so couldn’t do pictures then…..

I didnt have any professional for my getting ready photos...just let the girls take the photos

the only reason we felt a little rushed is because we had a large wedding party and wanted specific shots...but it wasn’t so much rushed as the time went by so fast...think it was more of the excitement of the day ….so wouldn’t have minded another hour of pictures…but it might have been a little long for the wedding party….in the end 8hrs was good got around 800 pics…

Did you have a videographer? I can't decide how long I will need a videographer. I wanted the video to include everyone getting ready. However, I am not sure what time we need to get ready in order to be ready to take photos before the Ceremony.

actually our video package was the smallest possible...(I'm just more of a picture person)....so ours was only the ceremony and a few hours of the reception...think 4 or 5hrs...video came out great...but if you want all the extras (getting ready...people arriving...guest comments) then I’d book a majority of the day maybe 8 to 10hrs….maybe someone else can be more helpful with film

I just don't know what I want - Did anyone not have getting ready video and video of people arriving exct - or is that not that important and just stick to the ceremony and reception.
