Wedding photography,
without the clock-watching
I like to keep pricing straightforward.
Most couples book me for the whole story.
That means no working backwards from the first dance, no worrying that speeches have run late, and no photographer disappearing just as the party gets interesting.
Every full-day collection also comes with the bits that make everything easier before and after the wedding: your own private client portal, planning support, my wedding guides and supplier recommendations, a next-day preview, your finished gallery within seven days, and privacy as standard.
The Full Story
£2500
I deliberately take on a limited number of full-day weddings and never stack them back-to-back.
Your wedding gets the time it deserves.
The useful stuff comes as standard.
Your wedding gets the week
No back-to-back full-day weddings.
Gallery within 7 days
Not sitting in an editing queue for months.
Planning + portal
Meetings, guides, questionnaires and useful advice.
Next-day preview
12–15 carefully finished photographs.
Private by default
You see your wedding before the internet does.
50 thank-you cards
Included with full-day packages.
Everything for your wedding. One place.
Your wedding details
Timings, locations, important people and all those little things I need to know so you don't have to explain them again on the wedding morning.
Once you're booked, you'll get your own private client portal.
It's where all the slightly less exciting but rather important bits of wedding photography live, so you don't have to spend the next year searching through old emails wondering where I sent something.
Your portal keeps your photography plans together in one place, including:
Your photographs
Your finished gallery lives here too, ready to view, download and share with the people you choose.
Albums, without the email tennis
If you're having an album, you'll be able to review the design, leave feedback and approve everything before anything goes to print.
And if you've booked film, that's all kept together with everything else too.
Your booking and payments
See exactly what you've booked, keep track of invoices and payments, and find the important paperwork whenever you need it.
Planning questionnaires
I'll ask the useful questions at the useful time, rather than sending you one enormous form the week before the wedding.
Planning guides & recommendations
Advice built from 500+ weddings, along with suppliers and people I know and trust if you need them.
Private from the beginning.
Your portal has its own login and is part of the way I keep your wedding organised, considered and private.
The idea is very simple: you should always know what happens next, where everything is, and what I need from you.
I'll take care of the rest.
PHOTOGRAPHY
Choose the story, not the hours.
The Full Story
£2500
Unlimited wedding-day photography
No clock-watching. From getting ready until the dancefloor has properly got going.
RECOMMENDED
PHOTOGRAPHY + ALBUM
The Full Story + Album
£2900
Includes the £600 10” album
Exactly the same coverage, properly printed as well.
The Short Story
£1200
Up to four hours · Monday–Thursday
For smaller weddings, registry office ceremonies and celebrations where you simply don't need somebody following you around all day.
PHOTOGRAPHY + FILM
Some things deserve to move.
The Full Story + Film
£3500
Unlimited photography + dedicated videographer.
EVERYTHING SORTED
Film + Album
£3900
Everything above + a £600 10” album.
The photographs tell most of the story. Film gives you the voices, the movement, the speeches and all those little moments happening around them.
A dedicated videographer works alongside me throughout the day, creating a 7-minute highlights film, as well as recording your ceremony and speeches in full with professional audio.
Photography and film are planned together, so you're not dealing with two separate teams competing for the same moments - just one joined-up approach to telling the story of the day.
The Complete Story

Film + upgraded 12” album
+ two parent books
+ engagement shoot.
