Q&As

What is the cost of hiring a wedding photographer in London?

On average, hiring a wedding photographer in London will cost you around £1,800 to £2,000, depending on what they’re looking for. There are photographers who offer shorter or more basic packages for under £1,000, and there are also high-end options that can go well above £3,000.

A few things affect the price: how experienced the photographer is, how many hours you want them for, whether you want a second photographer, and if you’d like extras like albums or engagement shoots. London prices are a bit higher than the UK average, simply because of demand and the cost of living in the city.

What are the most popular wedding photography styles in London?

London offers every wedding photography style, but here are five of the most popular:

Traditional: Think classic, posed group shots and all the key moments. It’s timeless and always in style.
Reportage/Documentary: This style is all about capturing real, candid moments as they happen, with very little posing
Fine Art: These photos are carefully composed, often with creative lighting and a dreamy, artistic feel.
Contemporary: Modern and creative, with unique angles and a focus on fun, spontaneous shots.
Fashion/Editorial: Inspired by magazine shoots, this style is more dramatic and stylised, with lots of direction from the photographer.

Each style offers a different vibe, so it’s worth looking through portfolios to see what feels right for you.

What are the typical wedding photography packages offered by London photographers?

Most London photographers offer a range of packages to suit different needs. A standard package usually covers a set number of hours (often from getting ready through to the first dance), one photographer, a pre-wedding chat to go over your plans, professionally edited photos, and an online gallery to share with friends and family.

If you want a bit more, some packages include things like a second photographer, engagement shoots, luxury albums, or even same-day slideshows. For smaller weddings or registry office ceremonies, some photographers offer shorter, budget-friendly options too.

Photographers in London are generally happy to tailor their packages, so don’t be afraid to ask for something that fits your day perfectly.
