Why Booking Your Wedding Photographer Early Is Essential

Updated: 6 minutes ago





As the owner of Javier Rosa Photography and 7 Films Productions, I’ve had the honor of photographing and filming over 75 weddings in the past nine years. Through those experiences, one thing has remained consistent: the couples who book their photographer early and plan their timelines thoughtfully always have the smoothest, most stress-free days — and the most stunning results.


Invested in the Best — For You

At Javier Rosa Photography, we believe in delivering not just beautiful photos and cinematic films, but an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Our team uses cutting-edge Canon gear, including the C70, R5C, and the new R5 Mark II, paired with the best glass available: the 28-70mm f/2.0, 50mm f/1.2, 85mm f/1.2, and the 35mm f/1.4. With DJI RS4 Pro gimbals for steady shots, Profoto strobes for crisp lighting, and Aputure gear for dynamic video lighting, we’re equipped to capture every detail in its best light.

But it’s not just about the gear. We also invest in seamless communication using com headsets, allowing our team to stay in sync throughout your busy wedding day. That means fewer delays, fewer errors, and a smoother experience for you.


Why Timing Matters

Weddings move fast — and they’re packed with once-in-a-lifetime moments. Having an experienced photographer with a well-organized team makes all the difference. We’re not just documenting the day; we’re helping shape the flow and energy to keep things calm, fun, and beautifully memorable.


Our Expert Timeline Tip: When Should the Photographer Arrive?

We recommend scheduling your photographer to arrive about 4 hours before the ceremony. This gives us time to capture:

  • Flat lay and venue details

  • Bridal prep and getting-ready shots

  • Groom’s prep moments

  • First looks (if planned)

  • Pre-ceremony portraits and bridal party candids

This early coverage sets the tone and builds the story from the very beginning. If you're skipping the first look, arriving early still ensures we capture the calm before the ceremony and all the beautiful anticipation.


Booking Made Easy

We like to keep things simple. Our booking process starts with a quick call to get to know you, understand your vision, and help you build the right package. We offer flexible payment plans: a deposit secures your date, and the remaining balance is spread out leading up to the wedding.

Our wedding photo and video packages range from $3,500 to $11,000, depending on the level of coverage, deliverables, and team involvement. No matter which you choose, you’ll receive our full dedication and expertise.


Final Thought

More than just capturing moments, we focus on creating an environment that lets those moments unfold naturally — with guidance, experience, and a team that’s fully invested in your day. Because at the end of it all, it’s not just about the photos and videos — it’s about how you felt throughout the process.

Let’s talk about how we can make your wedding unforgettable.
