Wedding Photography Packages & Prices in the UK: A Clear Guide for 2026

If you are planning a wedding and trying to work out how much photography costs, you are not alone. It is one of the most searched topics in wedding planning, and also one of the most confusing. Prices vary hugely, packages are bundled in different ways, and it can be hard to know if you are getting fair value.

This guide explains how wedding photography packages work, what affects the price, and exactly what you get when you book with HOBS FILMS one of the most affordable professional wedding photographers in the UK, covering London, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Surrey, Essex, Kent, Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Birmingham, Leicester, Nottingham and beyond.

How Much Does Wedding Photography Cost in the UK?

The market average for a full-day wedding photographer in the UK sits somewhere between £900 and £1,500. Some photographers charge significantly more. At HOBS FILMS, we built our entire model around undercutting that without cutting corners on quality.

Our wedding photography prices for photography starts from £180 for the first hour, then £80 for every additional hour. That means a full 10-hour wedding day costs just £900, which is at or below what many photographers charge for half-day coverage. All travel across the UK is included. No hidden fees.

How Much Coverage Do You Actually Need?

This is the question most couples struggle with. Here is a simple way to think about it.

2–3 hours is right for a registry office wedding, a very small ceremony, or a micro-wedding with 12 or fewer guests. You get the ceremony covered and some portraits. Nothing more, nothing less.

4–6 hours works well for couples who want the ceremony plus the core reception moments speeches, cake cutting, first dance without needing bridal preparations covered. This is also a popular choice for twilight or evening ceremonies.

7–10 hours is the choice for a full wedding day. If you want bridal preparations, the full ceremony, the reception, the speeches, and the evening dancing all captured, you need to be in this range. Our 10-hour package at £900 covers everything and is the most complete option we offer.

Questions to Ask Any Wedding Photographer Before You Book

Whether you book with us or someone else, these are worth checking:

Is travel included? Some photographers advertise a low base price but add mileage fees on top. At HOBS FILMS all UK travel is included in every package.

How long until I get my photos? The industry standard is 6–12 weeks. We deliver within 7 days.
