Is unlimited time for both the ceremony and the reception, with no extra hourly charges, really important?
Most photographers and videographers provide packages that include a specific amount of time, commonly 3-5 hours. It is important for you to understand the time limitations and charges for additional hours of coverage, as often times these charges can be significant. The reason why it is preferable for you to deal with those who provide unlimited time is twofold. First, it is usually desirable to know your exact costs before your wedding day, thus making it easier to adequately budget and prevent unplanned expenses. Second, when time limitations do apply, there is a tendency for the photographer to rush the various reception events in order to meet their time constraints, therefore upsetting the natural flow of your special day. Time constraints usually cause missed photo opportunities, a rushed reception and pushy photographers.
