Wedding Photography Prices
I like to meet via video chat with couples before the wedding day.
Getting to know you both before the big day will ensure I have a good understanding of your preferences.

Do I Offer 1hr or 2hr Packages?
I've found that the overall editing time and number of photos delivered doesn't change much whether I'm in attendance for 1.5hrs, 2hrs, or 3hrs, so my smallest package is for coverage up to 3hrs. Events covered during this time include: arrival of guests, wedding ceremony, candid photos of guests after the ceremony, group photos, and couple portraits.
How Many Photos Will You Get?
I'm often asked how many photos will be delivered at different coverage durations, and despite having photographed over 500 weddings, it's tricky to give an exact answer. I've put a blog together on how many wedding photos you should expect, and explained the different aspect of a wedding day that influence number delivered.
As a rough guide:
Up to 3 hours: 200+ for a small wedding of around 30 people and 300+ for an average sized wedding (approx 80 people)
Up to 6 hours: 400+/500+
Up to 9 hours: 600+/700+

My Investment
You want a photographer that's not just passionate about weddings, but someone who has invested in their business and their professional skills.
For me, that means having the best possible equipment which is regularly serviced, in addition to having sufficient backup kit, plus access to hire equipment as a further back-up.
It also means being part of a network of photographers so that should you require two photographers, I can hire someone who also specialises in weddings. Creating those partnerships with other professionals means I also have a network to call on in emergency situations.
Whilst I already have a foundation degree in photography, teaching experience and professional qualifications, I also regularly invest in further training so that I can continue to grow and develop my skills.
Your wedding files are safely backed up in both online cloud storage and on RAID hard drives, so there's no need to worry if you accidentally delete a photo. I also have full liability and indemnity insurance, in addition to investing in a secure storage facility for my equipment so that it's safe when I'm away from home.
I invest time with every couple to really get a good understanding of your day and your preferences and I'm there every step of the way for any wedding related help and advice.
We'll meet up a number of times before your wedding so you can be sure of a great experience from start to finish as well as having lots of gorgeous photos to cherish after your wedding.
Wedding Photography Prices FAQs
What is the average cost of a wedding photographer in the UK?
According to the annual wedding industry survey by 'Your Perfect Wedding Photographer' blog, the average cost of wedding photographers for full day coverage in the UK for 2023 is £1,760. This compares to £1,590 in 2019, £1,560 in 2018, £1,480 in 2017 and £1,450 in 2016. This survey only includes photographers though, and is a fairly small sample size, so when compared to the Hitched survey (which includes 2,400 couples) the average cost of a wedding photographer in 2023 was a lower £1,300.
What is the average hourly rate for a wedding photographer?
In the UK, the average hourly rate for wedding photographers is between £100-£200 per hour, and will vary depending on location in the UK, the location and distance of your wedding venue, and the size of your wedding. Larger weddings with more guests take longer to edit.
How many pictures should you get from your wedding photographer?
The industry average, for an average size wedding of 80 people would be between 400-800. Reviewing my weddings from the last 20 years, my average number for a wedding of 80 people would be approximately 700 photographs.
