What couples pay in the UK
Most couples in the UK pay around £1,500 for a full day of wedding photography. You don't have to book the whole day, though. Choosing fewer hours is the easiest way to keep the cost down, and it still covers the moments that matter most.
| How long | What it covers | Most couples pay |
|---|---|---|
| Two hours | A register office signing, confetti and portraits | Around £450 |
| Half day | The ceremony, drinks reception and meal | Around £850 |
| Full day | Getting ready through to the first dance | Around £1,500 |
