Wedding photographer prices – how much do wedding photos cost?
We want to make finding wedding photographer prices as easy as possible, as many of our couples have advised us how annoying it is that some suppliers make you jump through hoops to see their prices.
Our wedding photographer prices can be customised to your requirements.
Whether Jonathon is working alone to photograph your intimate elopement or Claire and Jonathon are working seamlessly together, capturing all the details, love, and joy of your entire day, we’ve got you covered.
You can choose coverage with one or two photographers (the benefits of having two photographers are explained here).
We welcome anyone from any background and don’t provide our services exclusively to large weddings with big budgets.
Off-peak, small, micro-wedding celebrations and elopement wedding photographer prices are also displayed below.

Rachel and KeiranJonathon did a fantastic job with our photos and video. He captured the day perfectly! We got a video of the ceremony, speeches and first 3 dances which Jonathon was able to do himself with cameras set up and it was amazing to see after. I highly recommend Love Wedding Photos and Film and will use them in the future for any photographer needs I have.

Jude and AhmetJonathon recently photographed our wedding and we couldn't be happier with the results. Our families were also extremely pleased and have been creating montages and framing the photos. Jonathon put us at ease and was professional and friendly and created lots of shots in such a short space of time. The communication before hand and after was great especially as there was last minute changes to our wedding. I would definitely recommend. Many thanks.

Wedding photographer prices advice
Wedding photographer prices vary widely depending on factors such as the photographer’s experience, location, what they include, and the duration of coverage.
The industry’s wedding photography prices and packages can range from a couple of hundred pounds for cheaper, affordable wedding photographers to several thousand pounds.
Beginners or local photographers may offer more budget-friendly options, while seasoned professionals with a prestigious portfolio may command higher fees.
Basic, cheaper wedding photographer prices often cover essentials like ceremony and reception coverage, a set number of edited photos, and an online gallery.
Wedding photography prices may include upgrades such as engagement sessions, additional photographers, albums, and extended coverage.
When researching wedding photography prices, consider the photographer’s skill, artistic style, and reputation.
Well-established photographers may charge more due to their experience, expertise, and the quality of their work.
Note that paying higher wedding photography prices is not a quality guarantee.
You must check that everything matches your expectations.
For example, a photographer whose services cost several thousand pounds might work alone and be unable to photograph your family and guests while you’re shooting your newlywed photos; you might be expected to pay even more money for them to hire an assistant photographer for the day.
It’s essential to check precisely what is and is not included in photography wedding prices.
Check the number of people photographing your event, the time in attendance on your big day, and an estimate of how many photos you will receive.
Read our guide on the questions to ask because the more knowledgeable you are on wedding photographer prices, the better equipped you are to get the best for your budget.
Investing in a skilled wedding photographer is a decision that lasts a lifetime through captured memories.
It would be best to prioritise finding a shooter whose style resonates with you, ensuring that your big day is documented with the artistry and care it deserves.
