Not every wedding needs 10+ hours of photography. If you’re planning an intimate ceremony, micro wedding, or elopement, a 2-hour wedding photography package could be the perfect option.
In just two hours, you can capture all the essential moments—from the excitement before your vows to beautiful couple portraits. This guide will show you exactly how to make the most of short coverage and ensure you still get stunning, timeless wedding photos.
Who is a 2-Hour Wedding Photography Package For?
A shorter wedding photography package is ideal for:
✔️ Micro weddings & elopements – Perfect for London town hall weddings or small gatherings.
✔️ Registry office weddings – Ideal for Chelsea Town Hall, Islington Town Hall , or Old Marylebone Town Hall ceremonies.
✔️ Couples who want just the essentials – If you only need the key moments captured.
✔️ Last-minute weddings – Need a photographer on short notice? A 2-hour package is flexible.
✔️ Budget-conscious couples – Enjoy professional photography without committing to a full-day package.
💡 Tip: Even with just two hours, careful planning ensures you get beautiful, meaningful images. Here’s how!
