These are the times of my wedding: 7:30-8 ceremony 8-9 cocktail hour 9-1 reception
So I'm thinking 6:00-7:00 for portraits. But I also will want pre shots, getting ready, etc. I'm not sure what to tell the photographers when I meet with them in terms of starting time. What are you all doing? How many hours is you photographer booked for?
Thanks.

Our photographer will be with us from 3:30-midnight. He will be taking shots of us before the ceremony so we've arranged to have him there at 3:30.

I booked Duet and they indicated that they wanted to be at our houses while we're getting ready all the way to the end of the reception, so I guess 12 hours +

We used Duet & they arrived to do pre shots between 11:30, noon & stayed till after the cake was cut(which was about 10:00, 10:30 I believe). So about 10, 11 hours.

My photographer arrived at my hotel at 10am for the pre-ceremony shots, and stayed until almost the end of my reception, which ended at 10:30. I think he left at around 10pm. My ceremony was at 1pm.
