Weddings

We work as a team of professional photographers rather than a single individual studio owner. You’ll be matched with a lead photographer based on your date, venue, style preferences, and personality fit, and you’ll know who that is well before your wedding day.

We do. Your photographer will work closely with your planner, venue, and other vendors to keep the timeline on track, find the best locations and lighting, and make sure photography fits seamlessly into your wedding day.

Yes. We’re happy to share full wedding galleries from our team so you can see how we cover an entire day – from getting ready through the reception – rather than just a handful of favorite images. In fact, there’s a good chance we’ve already photographed at your venue, so just let us know where you’re getting married and we can share a full gallery from that location.

Absolutely. Before the wedding, we’ll ask you for must‑have moments and a list of important family groupings. Your photographer will use this as a roadmap on the wedding day while still capturing spontaneous, candid moments.

Most couples receive a curated collection of fully edited images from their wedding day of around 800 images. Every delivered image is professionally edited for color, exposure, and overall polish so your gallery looks cohesive.

Yes. Once your photographer is assigned, we’ll introduce you so you can connect in advance—through a call, video chat, or meeting – review your timeline, and talk through your vision and must‑have shots. This typically happens between 60 – 30 days prior to your big day.

In the rare event of an emergency, we have systems in place to provide a qualified replacement DJ from our team. Our goal is to ensure your event is covered and your celebration goes off without a hitch.

The price of a wedding photographer varies depending on length of service requested and the date and location of event(s). The average Complete Weddings + Events wedding photographer is hired for eight hours. A wedding photographer for eight hours typically costs between $2,895 and $3,695 depending on the date and location of event(s).

We dress in professional, event‑appropriate attire that fits the formality of your wedding. If you have a specific dress code or color preference, let us know and we’ll do our best to match it.

We coordinate with your venue prior to the wedding to confirm load‑in details, power access, and setup location. 

Yes. We’re comfortable mixing a wide variety of genres and can incorporate cultural or family‑specific music that’s meaningful to you. Share any must‑have songs or traditions, and we’ll plan around them.

We carefully adjust the volume throughout the event—keeping it lower during dinner and speeches so guests can talk comfortably, and turning it up for dancing while still maintaining clear, clean sound.

Yes. We always come prepared with backup equipment (such as extra cables, microphones, and music sources) so that if anything unexpected happens, the party can continue without interruption.

We use professional‑grade sound systems, mixers, microphones, and backup gear to ensure high‑quality audio and reliability. Our setup is designed to sound great while looking clean and unobtrusive in your space.

Yes. We provide professional microphones for your officiant, speeches, and announcements so your guests can clearly hear every word.

Yes. We can provide music and microphones for your ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, depending on the package you choose. This includes pre‑ceremony music, processional/recessional songs, and all reception moments.

Yes, we’re happy to take requests as long as they fit your guidelines and overall vibe. If there are songs or genres you don’t want played, we’ll respect that and politely decline those requests.

Absolutely. You can share your must‑play songs, favorite artists, and overall vibe, as well as any do‑not‑play songs. We’ll build a custom playlist around your preferences and read the room to keep the dance floor full. All this can be done in your online event planner. 

Yes! Your DJ can serve as the MC to make announcements, introduce the wedding party, guide guests through key moments, and keep the flow of the evening smooth and engaging.

We require a 10 x 10‑foot space to set up our equipment. We bring all necessary tables, cables, and gear—so all you need to provide is the designated space and access to electricity.

You’re welcome to list your top two preferred DJs, and we’ll do our best to honor your choices. The only package that guarantees a specific DJ selection is our Premium package, where you can officially choose your DJ. For all other packages, don’t worry—we work closely with you and use the vibe, music preferences, and details you share in your planning forms to match you with the DJ who’s the best fit for your celebration.

Choosing the right DJ for your event involves several important factors. We carefully assign your DJ based on our conversations with you, your planning preferences, familiarity with your venue, availability, and more—ensuring the best possible fit for your celebration.

The price of a wedding coordinator varies depending on length of service requested and the date and location of event(s). The average Complete Weddings + Events wedding coordinator is hired for ten hours. A day-of wedding coordinator packages range from six to ten hours typically costs between $1,595 and $2,695 depending on the date and location of event(s).

Absolutely. From last-minute timeline adjustments and missing items to weather changes or delays, we step in to problem-solve and keep things running as smoothly as possible while keeping you informed without overwhelming you.

Yes. We confirm arrival times, show vendors where to set up, answer logistical questions, and keep everyone aligned with the timeline. If any issues arise with vendors, we handle them discreetly so you don’t have to step in.

Your coordinator manages the timeline, confirms setup details, cues the wedding party and vendors for key moments (ceremony, grand entrance, speeches, dances, cake cutting), troubleshoots problems, and acts as the main point of contact so you and your family don’t have to.

We assist with placement, but we are not decorators. We recommend that linens be professionally steamed or pressed before the wedding date, as we do not provide steaming services on site.

We’re happy to assist with overseeing setup and teardown and helping with small décor placements. For more extensive tasks – like setting place settings for 150 guests, laying out a dance floor, or tearing down tables, chairs, and large décor after the party – we are unable to assist with that.

We’ll meet with you a few weeks before your wedding to confirm details, vendor arrival times, and key moments. Once everything is finalized, we’ll share the timeline with your vendor team and wedding party as needed.

Yes, we will create a detailed timeline and distribute it to all your vendors to ensure everyone is on the same page. On your wedding day, we’ll work diligently to make sure the timeline is executed smoothly and on schedule.

We use professional microphones and audio recorders during your ceremony and speeches to ensure your vows and toasts sound crisp and clear in the final films.

Absolutely. We encourage couples to share any must‑have moments or special people they want featured so we can prioritize them during filming.

Our style is a mix of candid documentary and cinematic storytelling. We focus on real moments, authentic emotions, and natural interactions rather than stiff posing.

Yes, we offer drone footage when conditions and venue restrictions allow. This is a great way to capture cinematic aerial views of your venue and surrounding scenery.

Our typical turnaround time is around 8 weeks after your wedding date, depending on the season and the package you choose.

Highlight films are usually around 5-8 minutes, and documentary edits (full ceremony, full speeches) can range from 10 minutes or longer, depending on your coverage.

Depending on your package, you’ll receive a highlight film and/or a longer documentary‑style edit of your day. Each film is edited to tell the story of your wedding in a cinematic way.

You will receive a link via email containing all your video deliverables for downloading. We encourage you to back up those memories in a forever space like the cloud or Google Drive.

Yes. We capture speeches and toasts using professional audio so you can clearly hear every word in your final films.

Yes! We believe that audio plays a crucial role in making your wedding day unforgettable – something you’ll cherish for years to come. That’s why we capture the heartfelt vows from your ceremony and the memorable speeches from your reception, allowing you to relive all those special moments.

We typically cover key moments such as getting ready, the ceremony, portraits, reception entrances, first dances, speeches, cake cutting, and open dancing, depending on the package you choose.

Absolutely, you can find general coverage samples here https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/825986818/1ab4cd5552

Yes. We offer a digital‑only, self‑service option with no attendant and no prints, which is perfect if you want to keep costs down but still give guests a fun photo experience.

Absolutely. We’ll have a website where you can pick from one of our many designs in our library https://completeseattle.boothwidget.com/

Prints are unlimited during your rental time. You can customize time based on your package and budget.

Our photo booth package includes a friendly on‑site attendant (for attended packages), fun props, unlimited photo sessions, and instant physical prints for your guests (with selected packages). Digital copies are also sent via text for easy sharing.

Yes. We provide a curated selection of fun virtual props and a stylish digital backdrop with your booth rental. 

Yes. Digital copies of all photos are included with your booking. Guests can receive their images via text or email download, and you’ll also receive a full set after the event.

You get to choose! We offer the traditional 2″ x 6″ photo strips.

For our attended packages, a friendly booth attendant is on‑site for the entire rental period to help guests, manage props, and keep everything running smoothly. Our self‑service digital‑only option (Signature) does not include an attendant.

Because it’s an open‑air setup, we can easily fit small groups or big crowds. If they can fit in the frame, they can be in the photo. However, the best output is for groups of 4 or less. 

We require a 10 x 10‑foot space to set up our equipment. We bring all necessary tables, cables, and gear—so all you need to provide is the designated space and access to electricity.

We offer an open‑air photo booth, which means there’s no enclosure – so there’s no real limit to how many guests can join in the fun. The more, the merrier!

Cinematic video editing style aims to increase the emotional impact through use of slow motion and transition effects, creative camera angles, snippets of wedding vows and speeches and dramatic music. It has that “wow” factor to tell your story in a unique way.

Documentary video editing focuses on simply capturing the day, as they happen, in the order they happen. This type of editing has have very little cut out and is a raw-like viewing of the day.

Complete Weddings + Events offers both styles of videography options, but the cinematic style is the common choice among couples.

You can help give suggestions on what kind of style and type of music you’d like incorporated throughout your highlight video if you’d like! Due to licensing rights, there are restrictions with certain songs that we need to be abide by. If you do want a certain licensed song in your wedding video, there may be an additional charge.

Overall, we recommend choosing a genre/style/type of song so our post-production team can get creative and make your video amazing!

Yes, all of the Complete Weddings + Events photographers are professionals and able to give direction for you and your family/bridal party/friends. You’re able to work with them ahead of time to make sure they know of specific shots you’d like captured on your special day!

Having a second photographer for the full day is completely up to the couple! We recommend at least having a second photographer for about 4 to 6 hours to be able to capture both the getting ready events, both wedding parties and family in a timely manner, and both reactions for the first look and the wedding ceremony. With so much going on before the actual wedding reception (sometimes in two separate locations), it is a huge benefit to have a second photographer for the morning events through the wedding ceremony and family photos. After that, one photographer is absolutely able to capture everything you need.

Your photographer will reach out to you about a month out from your wedding date to setup a time to meet with you and go over all the details for your special day! They’ll also help you finalize your timeline if you haven’t done that yet, too!

Receiving a full print release of your photographs is always a good idea so you can print the photos without a watermark anywhere, at any time you need. Complete Weddings + Events gives you these full rights to get your photos printed wherever you’d like. We also provide you with your photos in an online gallery so you can easily order prints, albums and other memorbilia easily online. At Complete Weddings + Events, our goal is to shoot photos for you to have as a forever keepsake.

This is your day; whatever you want to listen to can be played! You’re able to customize your own wedding playlist (as much or as little as you’d like)! The DJ plays your music preferences and makes sure the requests given by your guests fit within the guidelines you have provided your DJ.

Since most weddings are private events, typically the couple and their families do not want outside guests or ”wedding crashers” to attend. In respect for the couple and event hosts, we do not allow guests to attend private events to see our staff. We also customize each event to adhere to the specific couple and their requests, so each wedding Complete Weddings + Events DJs perform at is so different.

A DJ will emcee your event and conduct the announcements and introductions. They have more of a variety of music to choose from so you can hear all of your favorite songs vs. a band who typically has a set playlist. You will also save a lot more money hiring a DJ, whereas a band can cost sometimes three times as much anywhere from $3,000-$6,000.

Most wedding reception DJs are hired for 4 to 6 hours. Additional DJ or Emcee time is sometimes needed if you will need music or sound during your wedding ceremony.

Short answer – yes! If you don’t already have a wedding planner and don’t plan to get one, a day-of coordinator takes the stress of your shoulders so you can relax on your actual wedding day for less than the cost of a wedding planner. They make sure your wedding is set up perfectly to your vision, make sure your vendors arrive on time, and are your go-to for anything you need that day! If there’s an issue, you will never know because they got it. They got you!

When choosing Complete Weddings + Events uplighting, you’re able to choose the color(s) of your uplights! The uplights create color using RGB (red, green, blue) lights. Most couples like to have them coordinate with their wedding color-scheme!

Complete Weddings + Events just requires the booking fee at the time of reserving your service. The booking fee is no additional charge; it goes towards paying off part of your package. You can then pay whenever/however you’d like, as long as the remaining balance is paid off up to 30 days before your event (depending on your event location), you’re good to go!

Unfortunately, our contracted hours are consecutive and not able to be split up on one single day. Our professionals are more than happy to help with whatever you need, and will always be doing something to better their service for you throughout your contracted time with them.

If downtime allows, our team of photographers and videographers will be capturing footage of guests, décor, venue, and unique details of the day. Our DJ will play background music, hold doors open while greeting guests, take song requests, and get guests ready for the next event whether it’s cake cutting, dinner, or the first dance. Our photo booth operators will invite guests to the photo booth or remind them when it’s about to be available, when the line has lessened, or when it’s about to close to make sure it’s used to it’s fullest!

Gratuity is not included in the Complete Weddings + Events’ services rate. Whatever you feel is best to tip your professional(s) at the end of the night is up to you! While 10% to 20% tips for wedding vendors is a guide, nothing is expected, but it’s always appreciated!

If you need more time than what you booked prior to your event, you’re able to add time on at any point (even the night of) with any Complete Weddings + Events service! Just let us know, and we’ll take care of you on your special day!

If your ceremony is in a different location as your reception, the Complete Weddings + Events team is able to travel between both locations. Many weddings need photography, videography, sound, or music for both their ceremony and reception, and we can build a package that accommodates your specific situation! Depending on where the ceremony and reception are located in comparison to one another, there could potentially be mileage fees.

Having your ceremony and reception in the same place can be convenient for you and your guests, especially if you have a late afternoon or evening ceremony when the cocktail hour or dinner is starting right after the wedding ceremony. Many venues even have separate space available for the ceremony, so there is no need to flip the room, or the venue may have space for the cocktail area so guests can leave while the staff prepares the room for the reception and dinner. It’s all up to you!

Yes – Bundling our services together only benefits the customer! Our team of photographers, videographers, DJs, coordinators, and photo booth attendants have worked together on many events and do it in an efficient and fun way! There is also typically savings involved when you bundle Complete Weddings + Events services together.
