Your wedding photos and film will be some of the most treasured keepsakes from your day. But when should you book your photographer and videographer, and what happens once you do?
Here's the ideal booking timeline, what to look for when you're hiring, and how to make the months leading up to your wedding feel easy.
When to book your photographer and videographer
12-18 months before your wedding
If you have a team you love, book at least a year out, especially for peak season from spring through early fall. The most sought-after teams take on a limited number of weddings and fill their calendars early.
9-12 months before your wedding
If you haven't booked yet, now is the time. Many experienced teams still have dates open in this window, but options start to narrow.
6-9 months before your wedding
You can still find a great team on a shorter timeline, but you may need some flexibility with your date or collection.
Less than 6 months before your wedding
Last-minute bookings happen, but availability is slim. If you find a team you love, reach out right away.
What to consider when hiring
- Style: Make sure their photos and films feel like the way you want to remember your day.

- What's included: Understand coverage, team size, film photography, albums, and delivery times.
