Really happy i found this thread. because I also booked a 3 hr session and was thinking in my mind there is no way that is possible. but leave this day up to my FI and he wouldn't have a photographer at all to try and save money. so getting him to increase the time frame is a decision best made on site as then I know I'd be able to break him (my FI) down...LOL. but thanks guys now I know i definitely need an extra hour or 2.

I decided to go with an outside vendor photographer for 3 hrs so I'm going to ask that the hotel photographer that's included with my wedding package take care of the getting ready pictures and possibly my family friends during the cocktail hour while we are taking our pictures w/ the other photographer.

Yes, you can. 

 

I did 3 hours for a Bahamas wedding and got a lot in for that amount of time.

 

I started at 3:30 with some shots of the bride getting into her dress, heading down to the ceremony and some shots of just her. 

Ceremony @ 4, ending about 4:15. After that they did a signing, cake and dance, done around 5. 

Then did family shots and B&G shots for the remaining time. I also believe we got a little bit of their cocktail hour in there too.

 

And during that time we made sure to take lots of candid shots fo the F&F. I know we turned around a 350 picture gallery so we got a ton in that short time. Def. doable!
