How Many Wedding Photos Will You Receive?
One of the most common questions couples ask when booking their wedding photographer is, "How many photos will we get?"
While every wedding is unique, I believe in delivering a full gallery that tells the complete story of your day—from the little details to the big moments you'll never want to forget.
As a general guideline, couples can expect approximately 45–50 professionally edited images per hour of coverage. This allows me to carefully curate and edit the best moments while ensuring your gallery remains meaningful rather than filled with unnecessary duplicates.
6 Hours of Coverage
With 6 hours of coverage, couples can expect approximately 270–350 edited images.
This timeline typically covers:
Final getting-ready moments
Ceremony
Family portraits
Bridal party portraits
Couple portraits
Reception highlights
Perfect for smaller weddings or couples who want coverage focused on the most important parts of their day.
8 Hours of Coverage
With 8 hours of coverage, couples can expect approximately 360–450 edited images.
This timeline often includes:
Getting ready
Detail photos
Ceremony
Family portraits
Bridal party portraits
Couple portraits
Reception events such as entrances, dances, cake cutting, and open dancing
This is one of the most popular coverage options because it captures the majority of your wedding day from start to finish.
All-Day Coverage
With all-day coverage, couples can expect approximately 500–700+ edited images, depending on the length and flow of the wedding day.
All-day coverage allows for:
Full getting-ready coverage
Detail and venue photographs
Ceremony
Family and bridal party portraits
Extended couple portraits
Reception events
Candid moments throughout the day
Grand exits and late-night celebrations
The longer the coverage, the more opportunities there are to capture authentic moments, guest interactions, and all the little details that make your wedding unique.
Quality Over Quantity
While photo count is important, my focus is always on delivering a gallery filled with meaningful images rather than simply increasing numbers. Every image is carefully selected and professionally edited to ensure your wedding story is told beautifully.
At Charmed by Chelsey Photography, my goal is for you to relive your wedding day every time you open your gallery—whether that's through 300 images or 700.
