Continuous hours means that the clock starts at the time you and I agree upon for me to begin - and I am finished either 3, or 7, or 9, or 12, etc. hours later - depending upon which wedding package you purchased or the otherwise agreed-upon time that we work out. The clock runs continuously whether I am shooting photos, or I am waiting for you to find the best man who has wandered off; or I am driving to your reception hall that's 45 minutes away. My Economy Wedding package is where I find that my customers understanding this "continuous" factor is the most important. I've had more than one bride attempt to book my three-hour Economy Package with the stipulation that I shoot her getting ready from 1pm to 2pm; then get lost for two hours and come back to shoot the wedding ceremony from 4pm to 5pm; then take a few more hours off (sitting at the local coffee shop I guess?) and come back to shoot the third hour at the reception from 8-9pm. Sorry - it just doesn't work that way. If you do the math, her plan ties up over 8 hours to shoot a 3 hour wedding package. I certainly wouldn't expect any of my brides to tie up 8 hours for 3 hours pay at their job - and I won't be doing it either. I developed the Wedding Economy Package to assist couples on a tight budget - or couples who simply wanted a non-enhanced, but quality photo documentation of their wedding event. There is an option to purchase up to two additional hours with the Economy Package and you can always get your copyright-free photo files professionally cropped, enhanced, etc. at a future date.Thursday, January 7, 2010
"What do you mean by "continuous" hours, as stated in your Wedding Photography Packages information?"
