What You Need to Know About Wedding Photography Packages: A Guide to Choosing the Right Fit for Your Day
Planning a wedding comes with so many decisions, but few are as lasting as choosing your photographer. We’re Josh and Taylor of JTR Media—a husband-and-wife photo and video team based in Central Pennsylvania—and we’ve spent years capturing wedding days filled with emotion, connection, and beauty. One thing we know for sure: your wedding photos are one of the few investments from your wedding that grow in value over time.
Let’s walk you through what you need to know about wedding photography packages, so you can feel confident choosing the coverage that’s right for your day—and your memories.
Why Wedding Photography Is One of Your Most Important Investments
The flowers wilt, the cake is eaten, and the dress gets packed away—but your photographs? They’re forever. Your wedding photos aren’t just images—they’re your story. They hold the laughter, the quiet tears, the in-between glances, and the once-in-a-lifetime moments that become heirlooms.
When you choose to invest in professional wedding photography, you’re not just hiring someone to take pictures. You’re trusting someone to document your legacy.
What Impacts the Cost of Wedding Photography Packages?
Photography pricing varies based on experience, demand, location, and the level of service provided. At JTR Media, our packages are designed to offer flexibility while prioritizing quality, coverage, and the client experience.
Here’s what can influence pricing in most wedding photography packages:
Hours of Coverage: Full-day coverage ensures every part of your story is captured—from getting ready to the last dance.
Second Photographer: Adds dimension and more candid moments, especially valuable during ceremonies and large celebrations.
Engagement Session: A great way to connect with your photographer before the big day and get comfortable in front of the camera.
Albums & Prints: Professional printing and custom albums turn your images into tangible keepsakes that last generations.
Editing & Delivery: Quality post-processing takes time and artistry, ensuring each image is polished and timeless.
How to Choose the Right Package for You
When looking at wedding photography packages, think beyond just what’s included. Consider:
Your Timeline: Do you want the full story of your day told, or just the key moments?
Your Vision: Are you drawn to artistic editorial portraits, or do you love candid, documentary-style coverage?
Your Priorities: What will matter to you most 10, 20, or 50 years from now?
A well-designed package doesn’t just check boxes—it supports the emotional weight of your wedding day.
Pro Tip: Work with a photographer who helps guide you through your timeline and creates a package that matches your vision—not just a preset list of hours and deliverables.
