Rehearsal Dinners & Welcome Parties in St. Charles: photography & video
The night before the wedding is often the most relaxed part of the weekend. Families meet properly, friends arrive from out of town and the toasts tend to be more personal than at the reception. MacroSnaps photographers and videographers cover rehearsal dinners and welcome parties so this evening is part of your wedding story, not just a few phone photos.
St. Charles is a community in Maryland, home to roughly 33,000 people. We cover rehearsal dinner events in banquet halls, hotels, places of worship, restaurants and private homes throughout St. Charles and nearby Waldorf and Clinton.
We can cover the ceremony rehearsal itself, the dinner that follows, or a casual welcome party for all your guests. We focus on the people: both families together, the wedding party, grandparents and friends who have travelled, and the speeches from parents and close friends. Coverage is easy to add to your wedding day booking or to book on its own, with the same photographer or crew where schedules allow.
For a typical rehearsal dinner, clients in St. Charles book about 2 hours of photography ($350) and 2 hours of videography ($500). Photography is $250 for the first hour and $100 for each additional hour; videography is $300 for the first hour and $200 for each additional hour, with a 2-hour minimum. The first-hour price includes travel, so St. Charles costs the same as anywhere else we work, and there are no quotes to wait for.

Planning tips
Planning your coverage in St. Charles
Book 2 to 3 hours
Most rehearsal dinners are well covered in 2 to 3 hours, from arrivals through the toasts. Add an hour if you want the ceremony rehearsal covered too.
Schedule toasts early
Holding speeches soon after the meal starts keeps coverage shorter and makes sure everyone is still there to hear them.
Make a short group-photo list
Note the combinations you want, such as both families, grandparents and the wedding party. A list keeps group photos to a few minutes.
Record the speeches on video
The night-before toasts are worth keeping with sound. A videographer can also include them in your wedding highlight video if you book both days.
Professional photography doesn't have to be expensive
