Understanding Coverage Options with Elio Photography: How Many Hours Do We Get, and What Is the Charge for Overtime?
When planning your wedding, one of the most important aspects to consider is the photography coverage. You want to ensure that every significant moment is captured, from the first look to the final dance. At Elio Photography, we understand that no two weddings are the same, which is why we offer flexible coverage options to suit your unique needs. Below, we answer some of the most common questions regarding our coverage hours and overtime charges, helping you make the best choice for your special day.
How Many Hours of Coverage Do We Get?
Elio Photography offers a range of coverage options that can be customized to fit your wedding day schedule. Our standard packages typically include 6 to 12 hours of coverage. The number of hours you choose depends on the flow of your day and the moments you want to be documented. For example, a smaller, more intimate wedding might only require 6 hours of coverage, while a larger event with multiple locations might benefit from a full 12-hour day.
During your consultation with Ali Kizginyurek, we will discuss your timeline in detail to determine the ideal amount of coverage. Our goal is to ensure that every important moment—from getting ready to the final send-off—is beautifully captured.
What Is the Charge for Overtime?
Weddings can be unpredictable, and sometimes the festivities go longer than expected. If you find that you need more time than initially planned, Elio Photography offers the option of overtime coverage. The overtime rate is charged hourly and will be clearly outlined in your contract before your wedding day. This way, there are no surprises, and you can make an informed decision about extending coverage as the day unfolds.
Ali Kizginyurek is dedicated to capturing every special moment, so whether your celebration runs late or you decide to add more events to the day, we’ll be there to ensure everything is documented.
Can We Customize the Coverage Hours?
Absolutely. At Elio Photography, we understand that every wedding is unique, and so are the photography needs of each couple. Whether you require coverage for just a few hours or a full day from morning preparations to the late-night party, we can customize a package that fits your specific requirements. During your consultation, we will work together to create a timeline that ensures all key moments are captured without unnecessary time.
What Happens If Our Wedding Runs Late?
We know that wedding days can be unpredictable, and timelines sometimes need to be adjusted on the fly. If your wedding runs late or you decide you want additional time to capture more moments, Elio Photography offers the flexibility to extend coverage on the day of the event. The overtime charges will apply as agreed upon in your contract, allowing you to make last-minute decisions without worrying about missing out on important memories.
What’s Included in the Standard Coverage?
In addition to the specified number of hours, Elio Photography’s standard coverage typically includes:
• Pre-wedding consultation: A detailed discussion with Ali Kizginyurek to understand your vision and plan the day.
• Photography of key moments: Capturing essential events such as the ceremony, first dance, cake cutting, and more.
• High-resolution digital images: Carefully edited and retouched images delivered in a private online gallery.
• Optional add-ons: Including engagement sessions, additional photographers, and customized albums.
This comprehensive approach ensures that all your wedding day moments are beautifully captured and preserved.
How Do We Know How Much Coverage We Need?
Deciding on the number of hours for your wedding coverage can be challenging, but we’re here to help. During your consultation, Ali Kizginyurek will ask detailed questions about your wedding day timeline, the events you want to be photographed, and any special requests you may have. With years of experience in wedding photography, we can provide guidance on the amount of coverage that typically works best based on the structure and size of your event.
How Early Should We Book Our Photographer?
To secure your preferred date and ensure that you have ample time to plan the perfect photography package, it’s recommended to book Elio Photography as early as possible. Popular dates fill up quickly, especially during peak wedding season, so we encourage couples to reach out as soon as they have a wedding date set. This also gives us plenty of time to discuss your vision, plan the timeline, and customize your package if needed.

If you need to adjust your coverage hours, add extra services, or make other changes after booking, we encourage you to reach out as soon as possible.
