Wedding Day Coverage

Christele Photography offers various packages for Wedding Day coverage. While trying to plan your schedule of events you may be asking what is covered in each package.

Wedding coverage varies per package, given optimal time we start the day with the Bride capturing her final touches of makeup and last stages of her getting dressed; the application of the veil and garter.

The next segment includes pictures of her with her family and interactions with them, special moments and well wishes, like the Bride attaching the boutonniere to her Father’s tuxedo. Next, she will be photographed with her Bridesmaids, formally and candidly, capturing a champagne toast or hugs and kisses before we photograph her getting into the limousine.

Once we have arrived at the church, we photograph the Groom with his family (if they're available) and his Groomsmen. This is followed by the wedding ceremony; which is covered in full: the processional, scripture readers, vows and ring exchange, candle lighting, and lastly the recessional. Following the recessional, there is generally a formal announcement of the new Mr. & Mrs. at the church entrance where the new couple is celebrated with guests expelling rose petal or bubbles into the air in celebration of the wedding event.

Next, the bridal couple, bridal party, and close family all gather back into the church for formal pictures. Generally speaking, photos start with the minister (if available) and the Bridal Couple. Next the Bride and Groom are photographed separately and together. This is followed by a multitude of family groupings and lastly the various Bridal Party groupings.

Weather and time permitting, outdoor photographs will be next. These pictures are focused on you as a couple, in a more romantic and wistful setting. Many variations are taken from close-up emotion packed images to full length formals capturing the detail of the gown and elegance of the day. Once again, the Bridal Party is added into the mixture and photographed in various groupings along with the Bride and Groom.

This brings us to the last segment of the day, the Reception. Here we capture the formal entrance of the Bridal Party and Bridal Couple. This is generally followed by the toast and dinner, which leads into the formal dances. The Bridal Couple's first dance, Bridal Party Dance, Father & Daughter Dance, followed by the Mother & Son Dance. Next we photograph the cutting of the cake and the Bouquet and Garter toss. Informal pictures are taken of couples dancing and any other photographic opportunities throughout the reception.

Please understand that is only a guide of what we try to cover. Your Wedding Coverage will be customized around your schedule and specific requests.
