Wedding: how it works

Coverage that rises to match the scale of your day, whether that's an intimate two-hour elopement or an extended full-day celebration with a second photographer, videographer, and content creator. We photograph the quiet details, the in-between glances, the toasts that go sideways in the best way. Every package includes a full gallery, and every session is guided personally by Karli, so you always know exactly who is behind the lens.

What Our Wedding Photography Packages Cover

Wedding photography isn't a single product, it's a range of services shaped around how your day is structured, how many hours truly matter, and what you want to be able to relive when the weekend is over. We approach every booking by understanding your day's timeline first, then matching the right coverage tier to it, rather than upselling you past what you actually need.

At the entry tier, a two-hour session is built for the couple who wants beautiful, unhurried portraits and ceremony documentation without committing to a full day of coverage. It's the right fit for courthouse ceremonies, small backyard exchanges, or elopements where the guest list fits in a single row. We focus tightly on the moments that matter most: the ceremony itself, a portrait session with the two of you, and the first looks or family formals if the timeline allows.

For four-hour intimate weddings, we move into the territory of small venue celebrations, the kind where the ceremony and a relaxed dinner reception flow together. This tier gives us room to document getting-ready details, the full ceremony, and the early reception energy before the evening winds down.

Six-hour ceremony-and-reception-highlights coverage is where most South Florida weddings live. It encompasses the ceremony, cocktail hour, introductions, dinner, toasts, and first dances, giving you a complete narrative of the day's arc.

Extended coverage paired with a second photographer unlocks full parallel storytelling, both perspectives of the ceremony happening simultaneously, the groom's suite and bridal suite documented at the same time, and reception candids captured from angles a single photographer simply cannot cover at once. This tier is designed for larger guest counts, multi-venue days, or couples who know they want comprehensive coverage they'll feel glad about years from now.

The top packages layer in videography, either a foundational video or elite videography that includes a feature-length wedding-day film, a short social media film, and a dedicated content creator capturing wedding-trend content in real time. These are built for couples who want every medium represented without coordinating separate vendors who have never worked together before.

We accept bookings across the full spectrum: micro-weddings and elopements, multicultural ceremonies with complex timelines, destination weddings outside South Florida, and large multi-day celebrations. If your day has a shape we haven't described here, tell us, we'll figure out the right fit together.

How Wedding Photography Pricing Works for Your Day

Wedding photography pricing follows the shape of your day, the hours we're present, the team size required, and the deliverables you want walking out the door. We build packages that are transparent from the first conversation, so nothing shifts between the quote and the invoice. The clearest way to understand your investment is to tell us your venue, your guest count, and your timeline, and we'll match a package to it honestly.

  • Hours of Coverage: Time on-site is the single biggest driver of cost. A two-hour elopement and an all-day celebration with a reception that runs late into the evening require fundamentally different commitments of preparation, travel, and shooting time. Every tier is priced to reflect what a given number of hours actually demands, not padded arbitrarily.
  • Team Size: A solo photographer handles intimate ceremonies beautifully. Larger weddings, especially those with parallel getting-ready suites, wide reception floors, or complex multicultural timelines, benefit from a second photographer capturing angles and moments that a single lens simply cannot be in two places for. Each additional team member reflects real added capacity and coordination.
  • Videography Tier: Adding videography, whether foundational highlights or an elite package including a feature-length wedding-day film, a five-minute social media film, and a dedicated content creator, significantly expands the production scope. Elite video involves additional crew, longer edit timelines, and a deliverable set that lives alongside the photo gallery for decades.
  • Content Creator Add-On: The top-tier package includes a content creator focused exclusively on capturing wedding-trend content in real time for social media. This is a separate role from the photographers and videographers, and its inclusion reflects dedicated staffing, equipment, and post-production time beyond what photography and film editing require.
  • Travel and Destination Work: We travel for destination and out-of-state weddings. When coverage takes us beyond South Florida, travel logistics, flights, accommodations, ground transport, are factored into the package honestly and discussed upfront. There are no hidden expenses added after booking.
  • Venue Complexity: Multi-venue days, outdoor ceremonies in challenging light conditions, or venues that require significant travel between locations between ceremony and reception affect how we plan and how much buffer we build into the timeline. A single-venue indoor ceremony with predictable light is a different scope than a ceremony at a waterfront park followed by a reception at a separate ballroom.

Couples and Days We're Built For

Every wedding has its own shape, its own guest count, its own cultural traditions, its own priorities. The scenarios below reflect the range of couples we work with. If you recognize your day in any of them, we're likely a strong fit.

  • The Intimate Elopement: Just the two of you, a small gathering of your closest people, and no interest in a production. You want beautiful, unhurried images, portraits that feel like you, without the pressure of a full wedding-day schedule. Our two-hour coverage tier is built exactly for this.
  • The Backyard or Small Venue Wedding: You've chosen a personal setting over a hotel ballroom, a family property, a small garden venue, a restaurant buyout. The guest list is tight and the vibe is relaxed. Four or six hours of coverage captures the whole arc without overextending the day.
  • The Ballroom Celebration: A large South Florida venue, a guest list in the hundreds, a cocktail hour flowing into a full reception with multiple toasts and a late first dance. You need extended coverage and a second photographer to make sure no moment at the far end of the room goes undocumented.
  • The Multicultural Ceremony: Your day includes traditions from more than one culture, separate ceremonies, specific rituals, family portraits across multiple generations and groups. Timelines like this require a photographer who listens carefully to what matters most and plans the day's coverage around it.
  • The Couple Who Wants Everything on Film: Photos matter, but you also want to watch your day back. The elite package pairs extended photography coverage with a feature-length wedding-day film, a social media reel, and a content creator, a complete media package without the coordination headache of hiring four separate vendors.
  • The Destination Wedding: Your venue is out of state, or even out of the country. You want a photographer who travels, someone who treats your destination day with the same attention and preparation as a local booking. We accept destination and out-of-state weddings and handle travel logistics transparently.
  • The Couple Who Planned Late: Your date came together faster than expected, a courthouse ceremony, a change in plans, or a short engagement. You still want honest, professional photography and a full gallery to show for it. Reach out with your timeline and we'll tell you plainly what's possible.
  • The Detail-Obsessed Planner: You've spent months on the florals, the table settings, the invitation suite, the cake details. You need a photographer who notices all of it and builds it into the gallery alongside the portraits and ceremony coverage, not someone who shoots past the details to get to the obvious shots.

Understanding Wedding Photography Investment

Wedding photography pricing at photos by karli is structured around the scope of your day rather than a flat rate applied to every booking. The tier you choose, from a focused two-hour elopement session up through full extended coverage with a second photographer, videographer, and content creator, reflects the hours we're present, the size of the team delivering your coverage, and the deliverable set you receive when the wedding weekend is behind you.

In South Florida, wedding photography is shaped by the region's venue landscape and calendar. Peak wedding season runs through the dry months, roughly November through April, when South Florida's mild temperatures and low humidity make outdoor ceremonies and portrait sessions genuinely comfortable. Demand during this window is high, and popular dates fill well in advance. The wet-season months bring their own considerations: afternoon thunderstorms can shift outdoor timelines, and coverage planning for a summer wedding often includes built-in flexibility for weather.

Because every package is assembled around your specific day, the right approach is to share your venue, guest count, timeline, and priorities with us directly. We'll walk through the options honestly, explain exactly what each tier includes, and give you a clear picture of your investment before any commitment is made. No pressure, no surprises, just an honest conversation about what your day needs and what makes sense.

  • All package pricing is discussed directly, reach out with your date and details to receive accurate information for your specific day.
  • Destination and out-of-state bookings include transparent travel cost discussion before any agreement is finalized.
  • Peak-season dates book in advance, earlier contact gives you the most flexibility in matching the right package to your needs.

Frequently asked questions

Karli personally photographs and guides every session. For larger weddings, additional photographers, videographers, and content creators may be added depending on the selected package, but Karli is always present and leading the day. You'll know exactly who is showing up and what to expect well before your wedding date. We don't hand bookings off to associates or substitute photographers without your knowledge.
The clearest starting point is your timeline. Tell us when the ceremony starts, whether you want getting-ready coverage, how long the reception runs, and roughly how many guests you're expecting. From there, we can walk through the tiers honestly and explain what each one covers, and what it doesn't. We'd rather help you find the right fit than push you toward a larger package than your day actually needs.
Yes, destination and out-of-state work is a regular part of what we do. Travel logistics, including flights, accommodations, and ground transport, are discussed transparently before any agreement is finalized. There are no expenses added quietly after booking. If your wedding is outside the region, reach out with your location and date and we'll have a straightforward conversation about what travel entails for your specific situation.
Every package includes a full edited gallery, not a curated selection of highlights, but the complete set of images from your coverage hours, professionally edited and delivered digitally. Gallery turnaround timelines vary by package scope and season, and we'll give you a realistic delivery estimate as part of your booking conversation. We don't overpromise on turnaround and then leave you waiting without communication.
South Florida weather, especially during the summer wet season, is something we plan around rather than hope away. Before your wedding, we'll talk through your venue's backup plan and build timeline flexibility into our coverage approach where possible. Rain doesn't mean ruined images, some of our most striking ceremony photos have come from overcast or dramatic-sky days. We stay adaptable and communicative from the morning of your wedding onward.
Yes. Our extended packages are designed to include second photographers, foundational videography, and elite videography, which adds a feature-length wedding-day film, a five-minute social media film, and a dedicated content creator. Having photography, video, and content creation coordinated under one booking means the team has worked together before and knows how to share a timeline without stepping on each other. Reach out to discuss which combination fits your day.
For peak dry-season dates, roughly November through April, popular weekends book months in advance. The earlier you reach out, the more flexibility you have in matching the right package to your needs. Summer dates tend to have more availability, but we still recommend not waiting until the last minute, especially if your wedding falls on a holiday weekend or at a high-demand venue. Contact us with your date as soon as it's confirmed.
