Wedding Pricing Guide
Most of the weddings I photograph aren't one day. There's a civil ceremony, then a Hindu ceremony the next morning. Or a mehndi, a sangeet, a haldi, then the wedding itself. Every family's shape is different, so rather than one fixed package, my pricing is built around how many days you need covered.
Everything below is a starting point. Tell me your dates and I'll put together a proper quote.
Packages
Half Day - £1500
- Up to 5 hours of coverage across a single day
- Mark as lead photographer
- Unlimited pre-wedding consultations
- Professionally edited, high resolution images
- Private online gallery, downloadable, no watermarks
- Print release
For a registry office ceremony and the meal afterwards, a single ceremony without a full day around it, or an intimate celebration that's done by early evening.
Package 1 - £2800
- Up to 10 hours of continuous coverage on one day
- Mark as lead photographer
- Unlimited pre-wedding consultations
- Professionally edited, high-resolution images
- A private online gallery, downloadable, no watermarks
- Print release
Right for a single wedding day, however many ceremonies are packed into it. Bridal prep through to the dance floor.
Package 2 - £4500
My most booked package
- Up to 10 hours of continuous coverage on your main wedding day
- Up to 6 hours available across civil ceremony, mehndi, sangeet, haldi or pooja
- Mark as lead photographer
- Unlimited pre-wedding consultations
- Professionally edited, high-resolution images
- One private online gallery covering both days, downloadable, no watermarks
- Print release
This is the shape most of my enquiries take. A registrar ceremony on the Friday and a Hindu ceremony on the Saturday. Or a sangeet the night before the wedding. Both days are photographed the same way, by the same person, and delivered as one gallery that reads as one story.
Package 3 - £5950
- Up to 10 hours of continuous coverage on your main wedding day
- Up to 12 hours available across civil ceremony, mehndi, sangeet, haldi or pooja
- Mark as lead photographer
- Mark as lead photographer
- Unlimited pre-wedding consultations
- Professionally edited, high-resolution images
- One private online gallery covering every day, downloadable, no watermarks
- Print release
For celebrations that run across a long weekend. Mehndi, sangeet and haldi, then the wedding. If your celebration runs longer than three days, that's very doable, just tell me the full shape of it.
FAQs
What's my approach?
Observe. Anticipate. Photograph. You'll rarely know where I am, because I'm watching the moments unfolding around me rather than arranging them. Listening matters as much as photographing, so whether it's a Scottish castle, a Tamil celebration or an intimate civil ceremony, I come with curiosity and respect for what matters to your families.
Portraits are the one exception. We'll take a short walk together, twenty minutes at most, guided gently rather than posed. Couples often tell me it was one of their favourite parts of the day.
What's included?
Every booking, whatever its length, includes:
- Mark as your lead photographer
- Unlimited pre-wedding consultations
- Full documentary coverage across every day you book
- Professionally edited, high resolution images, with no limit on how many are worth keeping
- One private online gallery covering your whole celebration, downloadable, no watermarks
- A print release, so you can print whatever you like
When will I get my photographs?
A set of preview images within four or five days, so you have something to share while the day still feels close. Your full gallery follows within 8 weeks. If your celebration runs across several days, everything arrives together as one gallery.
How do we book?
We'll have a relaxed conversation first, no pressure either way. If it feels right on both sides, I'll send over a contract along with my bank details. A 50% booking fee secures your dates, and the balance is due closer to the wedding. I take on a limited number of weddings each year, so dates go to whoever confirms first.
Cost of Travel
Travel within the UK is included, along with one night's accommodation. For multi-day celebrations, I'd request to cover the additional nights. Weddings in India and destination celebrations elsewhere are quoted individually.
Add ons
Extra hour | £150
For when the day runs longer than planned, or you'd like me to stay through to the end of the dancing. Added at any point, before the wedding or on the day itself.
Second photographer | £400 per day
Worth considering for 200+ guests, or when two families are getting ready in two different places at the same time. I only work with photographers I know and trust.
Printed album | from £400
A lay-flat album, leather or vegan leather cover. I design it, you approve it. Replica copies for family are available at a reduced price.
