Clive Blair Photography: Full Pricing Details
If this is the first time searching for a wedding photographer, prices can seem quite bewildering when so many photographers have different options. You may even wonder, why wedding photography seems so expensive!
If that’s you, you might want to read some extensive research I did to find the average price for professional wedding photography in different regions of the UK, plus what’s actually built into photographers’ prices. This will give you the reassurance needed to choose a professional wedding photographer, rather than just have ‘a friend with a good camera’ do the job for you.
As regards my prices, I believe in full disclosure about my prices with no hidden extras. The prices here are as stated.
No VAT. No “weekend-wedding” extra costs. No “Wow-your-venue-costs-a-bomb-so-I-need-to-charge-you-more” tax. Not even an “I-feel-awesome-today-so-I’ll-charge-more” extra payment. Pure and simple, WYSIWYG!
Half, Full or All Day Options
I have different options for you to choose how much of your day you’d like covered.
For a full day’s coverage, while you choose my start time, I typically start about 2 or 3 hours before your ceremony with the morning preparations. I’ll then continue until your first dance in the evening and beyond, with up to 15 hours coverage, to make sure your celebrations are sufficiently covered. If you don’t need that many hours, I also have 10 or 6 hours coverage options. Again, you choose my start time according to your wedding schedule.
If neither of these options fit your needs, and you’d like a more personalised quote, get in touch with what you have in mind and I’ll send over the details for you.
Other Options
If you’re having a large wedding and would like more coverage from different angles, you can add a 2nd photographer to your package. This would also allow you to have your partner’s morning preparations capturing to complete the story of your wedding day. Typically your second photographer is booked to cover from the morning preparations up till your first dance.
Hate having your photo taken? You can book a Couple’s Photo Session to see how relaxing it is to be photographed by a documentary photographer.
Don’t forget that a digital image isn’t a photo until it’s printed! An album can become an heirloom and give your successive generations much joy and lasting memories. So I have a range of albums and a USB print box set available to showcase your wedding images.

Ready to Begin?
I’m guessing if you’ve made this this far down the page you like what you’ve seen so far? So all that’s left now is to get in touch so we can get the ball rolling to photograph your up-coming wedding. Fill in the form below to reach out and I’ll be back in touch before you know it!
Still a bit nervous? Be assured that I hate high-pressure sales tactics some use to psychologically make you feel you must book asap, because your whole life will crash and burn without signing on the dotted line!
So, even if we meet up for a chat, either in person or over Skype/WhatsApp/Zoom etc, you won’t be pressured to make a decision there and then. You’ll have as long as you need to decide. But please respect the fact that I can’t hold any dates, or get back to you if someone else enquires for your date, while you decide.
Only a completed Booking Form and £250 Retainer Fee can secure any date. Once any services have been secured, your price is locked in and is guaranteed not to change, even if my prices go up for later bookings. Your final payment will be due 2 weeks before your wedding.
I look forward to hearing from you!
