Approach and Routing
The wedding weekend 12-hour tier splits twelve hours of coverage across the welcome / rehearsal evening and the wedding day itself, shot solo by Monica. day one covers the welcome party or rehearsal dinner from arrivals through toasts. day two covers the wedding day from both partners' getting-ready windows through ceremony, portraits, cocktail hour, reception, dancing, and the formal send-off. coverage is structured for multi-day Bay Area wedding weekends and destination weddings. Monica travels in the day before to confirm timelines, lighting plans, and venue scouting before shooting the welcome event, then the full wedding day inside the combined twelve-hour window.
