Wedding photography pricing

I like to keep things simple. One wedding photography package, covering the whole day, with a few optional extras if you fancy them.

No bronze, silver or gold packages to decipher, no trying to work out how many hours you’ll need, and no choosing between getting-ready photos and the dancefloor. It’s all included.

My approach is to focus on making great photographs and giving you a proper record of your wedding, from the nervous excitement of getting ready to the questionable dance moves later on.

Full-day wedding photography: £1,900. Here’s what you get.

Let’s have a chat first

I’d love to jump on a video call before the wedding so you can check I’m not too weird and bombard me with any questions you might have. It’s also a chance to talk through your plans and make sure we’re a good fit.

If you’re local to Bristol, even better. Let’s meet for a coffee.

Being comfortable around your photographer makes a difference. You’re going to be spending quite a lot of the day with me, after all.

Take a look at some full wedding galleries:

The main photography package is all most couples need. But if you fancy adding something extra, here are a few options. No pressure, no compulsory upgrades.

Film photography

Fancy a bit of film? For the romantics, the nostalgia enthusiasts, and anyone who thinks the world could do with a little more grain.

35mm and medium format (120) film have a look and feel all of their own. The colours, the grain, the occasional happy accident. It’s a lovely way to add something a little different to your wedding photos, with images that feel like they could have been found in a shoebox in your grandparents’ loft (in a good way).

Whether you’re a proper film nerd or just fancy something a little less polished and a little more nostalgic, I can bring a film camera along and see what happens.

Film is charged at £50 per roll, including developing and scanning.

Wedding albums — from £375

Please don’t let your wedding photos exist solely in the digital world, occasionally viewed on a laptop between emails.

There’s something lovely about seeing your favourite images printed properly. You notice the little details, the expressions, the moments you might have missed. And unlike a screen, a print doesn’t need charging.

The albums I offer are made using fine-art matte papers and high-quality inkjet printing. Each spread is printed individually, inspected, creased and bound by hand. They’re designed to be handled, passed around and looked through for years to come.

If you’re going to invest in one extra, this would be my personal favourite. Not because you need to buy one, but because I think photographs deserve to be seen.

Fancy some video, too?

Photography is magic stuff. It can freeze a moment in time, letting you print it onto something physical and hold it in your hands. Mad, really.

Its biggest drawback, of course, is that it can’t capture sound. And I completely understand why you might want a record of the ceremony, the speeches, or the entire dancefloor going bananas to Darude’s Sandstorm.

For most couples wanting a proper wedding film, I’d recommend hiring a dedicated videographer. They’re specialists in capturing moving images and sound, with the equipment and experience to create something really polished.

But if that’s not in the budget, or you’d prefer something a little different, I’ve got a few alternatives.

The “Dad Cam” highlight film — £350

Remember when every family had a camcorder, and the resulting footage looked like it had been filmed during a minor earthquake? That sort of thing. Except on purpose.

I’ll shoot clips throughout your wedding day using authentic early-2000s handheld camcorders, then edit them together into a five-minute highlight film set to music.

It’s lighthearted, intentionally retro, and full of character. Less glossy cinematic masterpiece, more the best home movie you’ve ever seen. You’ll also receive all the unedited raw clips to keep.

Perfect if you want a little moving record of the day without the expense or formality of a full wedding film.

Full ceremony and speeches — £495

Some moments deserve to be heard as well as seen.

You can ask guests to film the speeches on their phones, of course, but the audio can be muffled, too quiet, or ruined by the acoustics of the room. And it’s a bit of a gamble whether anyone remembers to press record in the first place.

For this option, I set up a discreet, high-definition camera on a static tripod to capture your full ceremony and speeches, with dedicated audio recorders to capture clear sound.

You’ll receive separate videos of the ceremony and speeches, filmed in full, so you can revisit the important words, the nervous laughter, the emotional bits and whatever your best mate thought was an appropriate joke in front of your entire family.

Full-day hybrid video — £995

Want moving footage throughout the day, but prefer a clean, modern look over the Dad Cam’s lo-fi aesthetic?

I can bring along an experienced associate videographer to work alongside me. While I concentrate on the photography, they focus on capturing moving images, from the preparations through to the party.

The result is a five-minute highlight film set to music, capturing the atmosphere, people and little moments that make your wedding yours.

It’s a good middle ground if you’d like a more conventional wedding film without booking a separate full photography and videography team.
