Why Flat-Rate Wedding Photographer Packages Just Make Sense

When you’re working with your photographer talking about wedding day coverage, the last thing you want to do is stress about how many hours to book them for! You don’t want to book too little coverage and miss the reception and toasts, or have to cut things out of your timeline to ensure your photographer is there for the ceremony. That’s why at Dahlia Orchid Photography, I don’t believe in charging by the hour. My Nashville wedding photographer packages are flat-rate and built with unlimited coverage, because you deserve a day that unfolds naturally, without watching the clock.

Why Hourly Wedding Photographer Packages Creates Stress

With hourly photography, you’re constantly aware of the timeline. Should we add another hour? What if the ceremony starts late? Do we have time for sunset portraits and cake cutting? That pressure can take the joy out of your day. It turns magical moments into checklist items. I want you to breathe, laugh, and soak up every second, without worrying if your Nashville wedding photographer is about to pack up.

Flat Rate = Unlimited, Uninterrupted Photo Coverage for Your Nashville Wedding

With flat-rate wedding photographer packages, I’m there from your getting-ready giggles to the last dance (and sometimes even the late-night pizza run). No need to choose between covering your vows or capturing your sparkler exit, you get both. Unlimited coverage means your timeline can flex. If hair and makeup run late or speeches go long, we adapt. Your memories aren’t limited to a time slot.

The Magic of a Second Shooter (All Day!)

Just married and full of joy, the couple walks down the aisle at a stunning cathedral—moments like these are what wedding photographer packages are made for.

Every Dahlia Orchid package includes a second shooter for the full day. Why? Because two perspectives tell a fuller story. While I’m capturing your walk down the aisle, my second shooter is catching your partner’s tear-filled reaction. We split up for getting-ready moments, shoot ceremony and reception from different angles, and make sure nothing’s missed, even the epic dance moves your grandpa pulls out at 10 p.m.

What’s Included in Our Wedding Photographer Packages

Our wedding photographer packages are designed with flexibility in mind, because no two love stories look the same. Every package automatically includes unlimited wedding day coverage and a second photographer to capture every moment from multiple angles.

From there, you can customize your package with optional add-ons, like:

  • An engagement session so we can get comfortable together before the big day
  • A custom-designed heirloom album to preserve your memories for generations
  • Rehearsal dinner coverage, because some of the best stories (and toasts!) happen the night before

I never want you to feel boxed into a cookie-cutter package. If you’re not into engagement photos or don’t feel like you need an album, that’s completely okay! This is about building a photography experience that feels personal and true to your story, no hidden fees, no confusing add-ons, and definitely no last-minute surprises.

Let’s Be Friends

Flat-rate pricing isn’t just about convenience. It’s about care. I’m not watching the time or slipping out early. I’m dancing with your bridesmaids, tearing up during your vows, and cheering you on like the friend I’ve become. Weddings are more than events, they’re the start of something incredible. And your photographer should be all in, handling your memories like they’re their own.

Let’s Create a Stress-Free, Joy-Filled Wedding Day

If you’re looking for wedding photographer packages in Nashville that are all about flexibility, heart, and full-day storytelling, you’re in the right place. Let’s ditch the clock and focus on what really matters; your love, your people, and every important moment in between.

The bride and groom smile as they make their grand exit from the venue, surrounded by cheering guests—this unforgettable send-off is a highlight included in our wedding photographer packages.
