Good question and it probably depends on a number of elements, such as the indiviudal photographers policy, distance to the wedding etc. If say there was a short mid week ceremony around the corner from me and t hat was all the couple wanted photocoverage of, I would shoot for a single hour.
However if it was a Saturday in September on the other side of Sydney then the likelihood of securing a much large wedding along with the travel involved v hourly rate would make it untenable to shoot such a small wedding.
Hope this helps......

Hello :)
It is honestly up to you and your situation. I have brides only needing 2 hours and only want the ceremony covered, family pictures and some of the couple that are more artistic. Then there are others wanting a day and a half coverage. All I can advise is do what feels right to you ??

It really comes down to the couple and what they want and how long the ceremony goes for, some full Italian Weddings can go for a good hour, some even more! Some local park weddings are 20 minutes, the Tonita Silver package (ceremony Only) covers the ceremony in full no matter how long it runs for, so we have no minimum hours, in fact, none of our packages have minimum hours, it's all relative to the time of the ceremony :) Our Gold Package (ceremony up to and including the first 2 hours of the reception) can start at 1pm if thats when the ceremony begins or from 4pm if thats when the ceremony starts
