How Early Should You Book Your Photographer?

Planning Your Photography: Tips for Booking in Advance

For weddings, aim to book your photographer at least 12 months ahead, particularly if you have a specific one in mind. Securing their services early is crucial. Weekday weddings (Monday through Thursday) allow a bit more flexibility, with a 6-month booking window often sufficient. Elopements generally need 2 to 3 months' notice.

For family, maternity, surprise proposals, or portraits, booking 1 to 2 months in advance is usually enough. This timeline ensures you secure your preferred photographer and avoid last-minute stress. Plan ahead for picture-perfect memories!
