FAQs

Do coordinators work with other Complete services?

Yes! Because we’re all part of the same team, we work in perfect sync with our DJs, photographers, and videographers from the first planning session. Your coordinator knows exactly how we operate, which means seamless communication and zero dropped balls.

What’s included in your wedding photography packages?

Our packages include a professional photographer, editing, an online gallery, engagement session, and options for prints and albums. You can always ask for specifics—we’re happy to customize.

How far in advance should I book a wedding photographer?

It’s smart to book as soon as you have your date. Popular wedding photographers in the Rochester area can book up 8-12 months or more in advance. Secure your spot early.

Can I see examples of your work?

Absolutely. Check out our online gallery or any of our Photographer’s profiles to see images from past couples. We’re proud to show off the memories we’ve made.

What makes your wedding photographers stand out?

Our team knows Southeast Minnesota and Northern Iowa area inside and out. We capture those candid, real moments that make your day feel like yours. No stiff poses, just genuine connection.

Do you offer both photo and video at the same event?

We do offer both! However, we don’t let your assigned photographer do both at the same event. We make sure you have a dedicated staff member for each service to get you the best wedding coverage possible.

Can you photograph both the ceremony and reception at different locations?

Absolutely. Our photographers can cover multiple locations throughout the day—from a downtown Rochester loft to a lakeside Brainerd resort or a Capitol square ceremony in Madison. Same-day location changes are no problem.

Can we request specific shots or styles?

Absolutely. We love when couples share their vision with us—shot lists, inspiration photos, whatever you’ve got. It helps us get those photos you’ll want to show off for years.

Will we receive both digital and printed versions of our wedding photos?

Yes. We provide professionally edited digital images along with options for high-quality prints and custom photo albums.

Will our photos be edited?

Definitely. All final images are edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful. We also offer retouching services like blemish removal and teeth whitening for an additional charge—because sometimes the lighting could be a little more forgiving.

Do we get the rights to our photos?

Yes. You get your full rights release with the purchase of any photography service with us. Print, post, share—they’re your memories to do with as you please.

How many hours of coverage do we get?

Coverage is totally customizable based on your needs. Our Signature package includes 8 hours of coverage, but we can adjust up or down depending on your timeline and priorities. Whether you need just the ceremony and reception or full getting-ready-through-dancing coverage, we’ve got options.

How many photos will we receive?

You can expect about 50 to 80 images per hour of photographing. This estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, weather, and other factors. Our Signature package includes up to 800 beautifully edited images.

How long after the wedding will we receive our photos?

Turnaround time varies by season—during our busy summer months, expect to see your online gallery about 6-12 weeks after your wedding. Your gallery will be ready to share with loved ones and order prints, albums, and more.

Do you offer engagement sessions?

Yes! Most of our packages include an engagement session. It’s a fantastic way to get comfortable in front of the camera before the main event. Plus, they make for adorable save-the-dates—perfect for showing off your favorite local spots, whether that’s a Rochester park, a Brainerd lake, or a Madison landmark.

How far in advance should I book?

It’s best to book as early as possible, especially for peak wedding season. Popular dates in Rochester, Brainerd, and Madison can fill up 8-12 months out. That said, last-minute inquiries never hurt—sometimes the universe aligns and we can make it work!

Does your team have liability insurance?

We do! Just let us know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and we can send that over to them.

What if it rains on my outdoor wedding day?

We work around the weather the best we can, but our equipment is expensive and stops working when water is introduced. We can work with you to find other moments to capture if rain or other inclement weather gets in our way—and if you have a coordinator, they’ll be pivoting to Plan B before you even notice a single cloud.

Do you do Destination Weddings/Travel?

Absolutely. Based in Rochester, Brainerd, and Madison, we’re available for destination weddings worldwide. If your wedding is over 50 miles outside our areas, we’re happy to come to your city for an additional fee to cover travel and reasonable accommodations.

How can I make a deposit or payment?

Easy! Just visit completeeventmanager.com and log in with your credentials. That’s where you can make a deposit, lock in your date, or pay down your balance whenever you’re ready.

Is gratuity included? How much do I tip?

Gratuity isn’t included in our service pricing. Think of our team like your favorite server—if they made your night better, tipping is a beautiful way to say thanks. We usually see folks tip in the 20-30% range, but ultimately, go with what feels right in your gut.
