How many photos should a photographer take at a wedding? | Boston Wedding Photography

How many photos do you deliver from a wedding?

It’s usually one of the first questions I’m asked when I talk to a couple planning their Boston wedding. It’s one of the top questions recommended by blogs and wedding planning experts, and while it’s not a bad question, it’s one that doesn’t have a correct answer because there are so many different approaches to wedding photography and so many different weddings. Some photographers will hand you 4,000 images on a thumb drive and others will carefully edit and curate down to a handful of the best and most beautiful beats from your wedding day. What’s right depends on what’s right for you as a couple - balancing off polish, variety, and comprehensiveness.
