A bridal shower or bachelorette party brings together the people closest to the bride, often for the first time before the wedding: mothers, grandmothers, sisters, bridesmaids and old friends. MacroSnaps photographers and videographers cover showers, brunches and bachelorette dinners and nights out, so the bride and the hosts can enjoy the day instead of passing phones around.
Choose your city below for local venues, typical coverage and answers to common questions, or book directly online. A typical bridal shower is about 2 hours of photography ($350) and 2 hours of videography ($500).

Planning tips
Planning your coverage in Illinois
Book 2 to 3 hours
Most showers are well covered in 2 to 3 hours, from arrivals through the gift-opening. For a bachelorette, 2 hours usually covers getting together, group photos and dinner.
Plan the gift-opening spot
Put the bride's chair near a window or in good light with space for guests to gather around. It makes a noticeable difference to the photos.
Check venue rules
Some restaurants and bars limit photography or ask for a certificate of insurance. Let us know the venue in advance so we can sort this out before the day.
Add video for toasts and games
A short highlight video set to music you choose captures the speeches and the energy of the games, and makes a good gift for the bride.
Professional photography doesn't have to be expensive
