YOUR PERSONALIZED RECOMMENDATION
Based on your ceremony time, reception location, fall season, and your $3,600 budget, I recommend:
SIGNATURE WEDDING COVERAGE — 8 HOURS | $3,600 + $400 Travel
This gives us everything from ceremony through golden hour portraits, with travel built into the timeline and plenty of space for candid storytelling.
If you decide you want a planned exit or more reception coverage, the 9‑hour option would be the best fit.
