Wausau Wedding Photography FAQ
HOW MUCH DOES A WAUSAU WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER COST?
Every wedding is unique, so coverage is customized to fit your day. Wedding collections begin at $3,500 for up to 5 consecutive hours, with most couples investing $4,500–$6,000 for full wedding day coverage.
HOW MANY HOURS OF COVERAGE DO WE NEED?
Every wedding day is different, but most couples choose 7 hours of coverage. This typically provides enough time to capture getting ready, the ceremony, family photos, wedding party portraits, couples portraits, and a portion of the reception.
If you're planning a smaller wedding, you may need less coverage. For larger celebrations or longer timelines, I'll help you determine the right amount of coverage based on your plans.
WHAT WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY ADD ONS ARE AVAILABLE?
Every wedding is different, so you can customize your collection with additional coverage and keepsakes that fit your day.
- Additional coverage hours
- Second photographer coverage
- Engagement session
- Wedding album
- Priority gallery delivery
Do I need a Second photographer?
A second photographer can be a great addition for larger weddings, multiple locations, or timelines where both partners are getting ready separately. It also allows for more coverage, different perspectives, and additional candid moments throughout the day.
Most weddings don't require a second photographer. During our planning process, I'll help you decide whether adding one would benefit your wedding based on your timeline, guest count, and venue.
DO YOU HELP WITH TIMELINES?
Absolutely! I'll help create a photography timeline that keeps your wedding day running smoothly while allowing plenty of time for the moments that matter most. From getting ready through the reception, I'll work with you to build a timeline that fits your day and helps everything flow naturally.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO RECEIVE OUR GALLERY?
Wedding galleries are delivered within 4 to 6 weeks, depending on the time of year. I'll also share a sneak peek shortly after your wedding so you have a few favorite images to enjoy while your full gallery is being carefully edited.
HOW MANY IMAGES WILL WE RECEIVE?
Every wedding is unique, so I don't guarantee a specific number of images. Your final gallery depends on factors like your timeline, guest count, wedding party size, locations, and the events planned throughout your day.
My goal is always to deliver every beautifully edited image that tells the complete story of your wedding day, rather than limiting your gallery to a set number of photos.
Can I have unedited images?
No. Every image in your gallery is carefully selected and professionally edited to reflect the quality, style, and experience you see throughout my portfolio. Because editing is an important part of my creative process, unedited RAW files are not included.
DO WE RECEIVE PRINT RIGHTS TO OUR PHOTOS?
Yes. Every wedding collection includes a personal print release, allowing you to download, print, and share your images for personal use. You'll also have access to a professional online gallery where you can order high quality prints and products directly.
How can I book my wedding date?
Once you're ready to move forward, I'll send you a proposal with your wedding collection, contract, and retainer invoice. Your wedding date is officially reserved once your signed contract and $500 retainer are received.
WHEN SHOULD WE BOOK OUR WAUSAU WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER?
Most couples book 12 to 18 months before their wedding, especially for popular Saturday dates. If you've already chosen your venue and wedding date, I recommend reaching out as soon as possible to check availability.
WHAT HAPPENS IF IT RAINS ON OUR WEDDING DAY?
Wisconsin weather can be unpredictable, but don't worry! After photographing weddings for over 17 years, I'm prepared for all types of weather. We'll have a backup plan, make the most of your venue, and create beautiful images no matter what Mother Nature has in store.
