Wedding Photography Pricing — What You’re Really Paying For
If you’re just starting to look into wedding photography, the pricing can feel a bit overwhelming — there’s such a wide range out there, and it’s not always clear why.
You might even be wondering, “Why does wedding photography cost so much?”
Totally fair question.
To help make sense of it all, I’ve put
together a guide that explains what goes into the cost of professional wedding photography, along with the average prices across different parts of the UK. It’s designed to give you a clearer picture — so you can feel confident about investing in someone who’ll do justice to your day, not just hand over a few snapshots from a friend with a decent camera.

Wedding Photography Prices
I believe in keeping things simple and transparent — so there are no hidden extras or confusing add-ons. What you see here is exactly what you’ll pay.
Every package includes:
Private Online Gallery
Share your photos easily with friends and family, and hide any images you’d prefer to keep just for yourselves. You’ll also be able to download all your high-resolution files with a secure login.
Travel Included (UK-wide)
No extra mileage fees or surprise costs — if your wedding’s in the UK, travel is already covered.
Sneak Peeks Within 48 Hours
I know how excited couples are to see a few highlights — you’ll get a handful of preview images within two days of the wedding.
Full Gallery Delivered in 3 Weeks
Your complete, fully edited gallery will be ready within three weeks — with the option to upgrade to a 3-working-day turnaround if you’d like things faster.
Me, Clive, Behind the Camera
With over 30 years’ experience photographing weddings across the UK and beyond, I’ll be there to quietly document your day with care, empathy, and storytelling in mind.
The
Essentials

If you’re planning a more intimate day — maybe a registry office ceremony or a relaxed celebration with just your closest people — this is a lovely way to capture the key moments. From your ceremony to a few heartfelt hugs and those first couple portraits, you’ll still get natural, story-led images to relive the emotions of it all.
Perfect for smaller weddings or shorter celebrations. This is for couples who don’t want fuss — just honest memories, quietly captured.
(Usually around 4 hours of relaxed coverage.)
£650
The
Full Story

This is where the real story comes to life. From the quiet build-up during morning preparations, through the emotion of the ceremony, the laughter during speeches, right through to the dancing and joy of the evening. I’ll be there to document the full arc of your day — naturally, unobtrusively, and with a focus on the moments that matter most.
The most popular option — ideal for full-day weddings. If you want to feel like you’ve stepped back into your day every time you look at your photos, this is the one.
(Typically around 10 hours, from prep to start of evening dancing.)
£1600
The
Complete Chapter

From the first coffee in your pyjamas to the last wild moment on the dance floor — this is all about documenting everything. It’s not about the hours. It’s about capturing your whole day. The nerves. The tears. The golden light at sunset. The family hugs. The unexpected moments that no one else sees. I stay for it all — however long it takes.
For couples who want nothing missed. This is for those who know they’ll treasure every second — and want it all documented, beautifully.
(Usually up to 15 hours to complete your whole day)

Whether you’re ready to secure your date or simply want to have a relaxed chat about your plans, the door’s open. You’ll always have time to decide — the only thing I ask is to bear in mind that I can’t hold dates unless they’re secured with a completed booking form and a £250 retainer.
Once that’s done, your date is locked in — and so is your price, even if my rates go up later.
Looking forward to hearing about your day!
