Hourly pricing
Flexible wedding photography from £80 per hour
Affordable wedding photography should not mean cutting corners on the photographs that matter. The simplest way to keep pricing flexible is to let you book the amount of time you actually need.
How it works
Book the hours, not the package
My photography starts from £80 per hour, with discounted pricing for longer coverage. That makes it possible to book a few hours for a civil ceremony, smaller wedding or elopement without paying for a full day that does not fit your plans.
I do not use the word cheap to describe my work because the aim is not to make the photography disposable. The aim is to make the coverage sensible.
A registry office ceremony may only need a few hours. You might want arrivals, the ceremony, family photographs outside and some time together afterwards. That can be enough to tell the story of the part of the day you care about. A larger wedding is different. If you want preparations, the ceremony, speeches and the evening photographed, longer coverage makes more sense and the hourly cost reduces.
What you still get
The same photography, whatever the hours
The first question is not which package you should buy. It is which parts of the day you actually want photographed. That is what we can work out during the consultation.
My approach on the day is mainly natural. I photograph what is happening as it happens, with direction when it is useful. That might mean helping you get comfortable at the beginning, organising a large family group or moving you somewhere with better light. The rest of the time, I would rather let the wedding happen.
Where possible, I arrive early enough to assess the venue before I need to use it. That preparation helps me work quickly later, especially on shorter bookings where we do not have time to wander around deciding where to take photographs.
Afterwards
Previews first, then the full edit
After the wedding, preview images are sent first. The final edited photographs are typically ready within one to two weeks and are delivered digitally as well as on a custom USB drive.
If budget is part of the decision, tell me what you are working with and what matters most. I can help you work out which part of the day is worth covering rather than pretending every wedding needs the same amount of photography.
Questions

Can I book just two or three hours?
Yes. Shorter hourly coverage is available for civil ceremonies, small weddings and elopements.

I use flexible hourly coverage and reduce the hourly rate for longer bookings.
