Coverage is agreed by the hour. A typical booking covers preparation, the ceremony and the first part of the reception, with a short portrait window built into the timetable.

Mariya's verdict. Book the location before the guests. Changing a date is easy, changing a permit is not.
Light at four in the afternoon in June is not light at four in December.
Twenty minutes for couple portraits, placed in the right hour, produces more than an hour placed badly.
Group shots need a list and a person who knows the names. Without that, half an hour disappears.
| When | What is photographed | Why it is placed there |
|---|---|---|
| Preparation | Details, dress, hands, the room | Quiet, and the light is usually best here |
| Ceremony | Fixed positions, no movement | Every venue sets its own rules, so ask first |
| Group photographs | A list and a person who knows the names | Twenty minutes with a list beats an hour without one |
| Couple portraits | Twenty minutes, placed in the right hour | Light decides this, not the timetable |
| Reception | Speeches, first dance, the room | Available light where the venue allows |

A named person who can gather families for the group shots.
The venue's rules on photography during the ceremony.
A short list of photographs that matter to you.
Leaving portraits until after dark in winter.
A group list of thirty combinations, which eats the whole afternoon.
Assuming the venue allows photography during the ceremony.
