List every event first
Write down the welcome party, the rehearsal, the ceremony, the reception, and any brunch. Then mark which of those you want photographed, filmed, or left uncovered. Coverage follows that list. It does not automatically include every gathering in the weekend.
Welcome party and rehearsal
A welcome dinner and a rehearsal are useful to cover when the people you want in the photographs are there, and when the team is already on site. If either event is the night the team is still flying, it needs an earlier arrival, and that arrival belongs in the quote.
Protect the wedding day
The ceremony, family photographs, portraits, and the reception are the core of the day. Give them enough time before you add a sunrise session or a second location. A full weekend still has one wedding day.
Brunch and the morning after
A morning-after session or a farewell brunch only works if the team is still there. The usual Sunday is a departure day. If you want coverage after the wedding, say so before flights are booked.
Match the team’s travel window
For a Saturday wedding, the usual plan is Thursday to arrive and scout, Friday to prepare, Saturday for the wedding, and Sunday to leave. Events outside that window are part of the quote, not an assumption.
