Wedding Photographer FAQ's

As frustrating as it is for your budget, there is no set pricing for a wedding photographer. Having a wedding photographer will generally cost anything between £1200-£3000 but there are lots of factors that will play into the price such as timings, experience, travel expenses, and whether or not you require any prints.

The good news though, is that according to Bridebooks survey in January 2023, wedding photographers in the North charge the lowest compared to photographers based in London. So, If you are getting married up North, you may be in luck!

As soon as possible. Most couples prioritise getting a good wedding photographer above all other suppliers which does mean that they get booked up quite far in advance. Our advice is to start contacting your favourite wedding photographers as soon as you have a date. Most will only require a deposit to save the date.

Most wedding photographers have different packages which you can choose from. These will vary in length. For example, a full day may include bridal prep but not sticking around for the first dance. It’s worth having a little think about the parts of the day you want pictures of and then chat to your photographer about your options and the packages available. 

Sounds obvious, but these photographs are going to be with you forever, so choosing the right wedding photographer is cruicial. Be sure to check testimonials and reviews along with looking through their recent weddings to get a feel for their style. 

Go Book It! We showcase independent photographers accross the UK. When you find a photographer on Go Book It you can contact them and book them directly which means no agency fees or additional costs!

Everyones budget is different and it what works for one couple may not work for another. That being said, having photos to look back on of your big day should be prioritised. If you can’t afford a professional consider asking a friend of family member with a camera to take some pictures on your big day. We also live in a modern time where everyone has access to a camera, so ask your friends to get snap happy!

If you are a talented wedding or event photographer we would love to hear from you. Just head to our ‘for suppliers‘ page.

A wedding content creator is someone who you hire for the day to take lots of extra footage (not in place of your wedding photographer), usually from a phone. This means you will have hours of behind the scenes, candid wedding day footage.
