How much do wedding photographers charge in the UK?
4 min read
2026 pricing ranges by coverage and experience — and how to think about your own prices.
The ranges
Established full-day coverage typically runs £1,500–£2,500; newer photographers £800–£1,400; the top of the market £3,000+. Albums, second shooters and engagement shoots price on top.
What clients are paying for
Not the Saturday — the forty hours around it: culling, editing, delivery, insurance, kit redundancy and a decade of learning what to do when it rains.
Raising prices honestly
Raise when you're booking out, not when you're hopeful. A full diary at the current price is the only evidence that matters.
Packages that sell
Three tiers, middle one designed to be chosen. Every extra itemised so the quote reads as value, not a number.
