Wedding Photography Prices & Monthly Payment Plans

After becoming a groom myself in 2016, I now understand how manic weddings really are. I also realised how wedding photography prices were not customer based or focused. This made me re-think my business with no ‘packages’ or ‘deals’. Just simple by the hour pricing of your day plus expenses outside of Cumbria. You can make the hours fit your needs and focus on what is important to you.

When you book, upon signing the contract, you are required to pay the non-refundable booking fee of £350. The rest of the payment will be split up into monthly amounts with the full balance no later than 30 days prior to the wedding date. It really is as simple as that. Weddings are crazy enough as they are and wedding photography on average costs 15% of the entire wedding, you don’t need the added stress.

FAQ

QUESTION

ANSWER

WHEN CAN WE EXPECT YOU?

I usually arrive to meet you a little before the contracted time. I use this time to see the venue if I haven't been before, talk to the wedding co-ordinator and generally have a good chin wag to get us all comfy before I start snapping away.

For destination weddings I charge modest (pre-arranged) travel & lodging fees and usually arrive at least the day before.

HOW DOES THE PAYMENT PROCESS WORK?

When you book, upon signing the contract, you are required to pay the non-refundable booking fee of £350. The rest of the payment will be split up into monthly amounts with the full balance no later than 30 days prior to the wedding date. If you wish to, you can also pay the lump sum in full.

DO YOU HAVE A BACKUP PHOTOGRAPHER?

If for some reason, be it Mother Nature, or personal injury, I can’t keep my booking with you (and it would have to be a very good reason), I have a vast network of trusted photographers able to pick up the gauntlet and step in. Don’t worry, my insurance will cover any additional costings. That said, I photographed a wedding two weeks after dislocating my knee, so I'm fairly hardy.

WHEN DO WE GET OUR PHOTOS?

Usually it takes us up to 4-6 weeks to get your photos ready and shipped, but this can happen sooner, however the last thing I would want to do is rush over your wedding photos, just to get it done by the deadline. The memories I craft will be there for you in the years to come and I pride myself on taking the correct time to create something beautiful for you. I will always keep you up to date with progress.

Delivery dates change depending on how bespoke your needs and wants are. If for whatever reason, you need your photos sooner, do let me know before the big day, and I will do my best to accommodate it. Teasers are posted online via social media within a few days of the wedding.
