When you choose the Elite Package at The Overlook at KC Bison Ranch, you're choosing a celebration that unfolds without compromise. Ten hours of professional photography plus complete videography coverage means your day is documented from the moment you step into our 1,000-square-foot bridal suite until your helicopter exit lifts into the North Georgia sky. Every toast, first look, and spontaneous laugh gets captured because you have the coverage to let your timeline breathe.
Most couples underestimate how fast a wedding day moves. With the Elite Package, you get ten hours of photography and complete videography coverage, which changes what you can include and how relaxed you feel doing it.
Photography begins when you arrive at the venue at 8:00 AM. Your photographer captures getting-ready moments in the bridal suite with its floating salon stations and natural light, while your groom and his party relax in the lounge across the property. If you schedule a first look on the grounds overlooking the vineyards and bison pastures, that happens without rushing your hair and makeup timeline.
Reception documentation starts with your grand entrance into the hall with 30-foot vaulted ceilings and continues through toasts, first dances, cake cutting, and open dancing. Because you have ten hours, late-night moments like sparkler formations or your fireworks display get captured too. Coverage extends all the way to your exit, whether that's the helicopter departure, vintage car send-off, or another custom touch you've chosen.
Photos freeze individual moments. Video captures the way your voice broke during vows, the way your dad laughed at the best man's speech, the way the room erupted when you walked in for your first dance. You get both perspectives without coordinating two separate vendor contracts, because the Elite Package includes both services as part of your all-inclusive experience.
Your videographer works with your photographer to stay out of each other's shots while making sure nothing important gets missed. During the ceremony, one captures your face as you see your partner for the first time while the other films the full processional from a second angle. During toasts, your photographer focuses on reactions while your videographer records the full speech audio.
Ten hours lets you build a timeline that feels comfortable instead of rushed. You can include a private vow exchange before the ceremony, an extended cocktail hour near the ponds, or additional time to enjoy the firepit after the formal reception ends. You don't have to choose between a relaxed getting-ready experience and staying late for dancing.
With the Elite Package, you also get full planning services from our team. Ashley Maryanski coordinates your vendors, while Kadie Hudgins, Kirstin Harper, or Rebecca Jackson handles day-of execution. Your planners build a timeline that maximizes your coverage hours without creating gaps or forcing you to skip moments that matter.
If you want a golden hour portrait session between the ceremony and reception, your planner schedules it, and your photographer is already there to capture it. If you want to spend an hour with your wedding party taking group photos across the 61-acre property with bison in the background, that fits into your timeline without cutting into reception coverage.
Beyond ten hours of photography and full videography, the Elite Package delivers luxury service across every detail. You get fresh floral arrangements with premium centerpieces instead of silk, real china place settings, and upgraded catering with premium beverage options. Live musicians perform during the cocktail hour or dinner. Custom decor and graphic designs give your reception a cohesive, personalized look.
Our four modern lodges accommodate up to 37 guests overnight, which works well for wedding weekends when out-of-state guests arrive the day before or stay the night after your celebration. Florida and North Carolina couples often book multi-day stays so their families can experience the full property without rushing back to hotels in Gainesville or Cleveland.
Start by scheduling a tour to see the property, walk through the bridal suite and groom's lounge, and discuss your vision with Ashley. She connects you with our trusted vendors and answers questions about what the Elite Package covers. Once you book, your assigned planner begins building a detailed timeline that accounts for your ten hours of coverage and any add-ons you've chosen.
Forty-five days before your wedding, your planner finalizes details with you and confirms timing with your photographer and videographer. On the day itself, you show up and let the team execute while you focus on enjoying each moment, knowing everything is being documented.
After your wedding, you receive professionally edited photos and video within the timeline your vendors provide. Your engagement session photos arrive earlier, so you can use them for save-the-dates or welcome materials if you want.
If you want comprehensive coverage, luxury service, and a celebration that unfolds without compromise, the Elite Package delivers. Ten hours of photography plus full videography means nothing gets missed, and you can relax knowing your day is documented from start to finish.
