Wedding rates & investment
Welcome to the nitty gritty...
Have you come straight to this page in search of the numbers? Before you start scrolling and looking for the pound signs, I'd recommend taking a look at the 'how I work' page.
Some couples might want a more 'hands on' photographer and others may be after a silent ninja... So it'll be beneficial for you to make sure my style is right!

Let's deep-dive
Hourly Coverage
For small weddings or elopements, my photography coverage can be booked by the hour at £225 per hour, to run consecutively. Highlight films won't be available with hourly coverage.
If you're looking for a shorter coverage option, this is ideal. You have the flexibility to book exactly what you need whilst receiving the same service, emotional investment and deliverables - Edited colour and black & white images in a secure online gallery
Full-Day Coverage
Full-day coverage typically runs from bridal prep through to around an hour after the first dance. I like to stay into the party until I feel the time is right. That way, I can capture the full atmosphere of the evening celebrations.
Before the Wedding
Before you book we can have a chat—either over Zoom or at BEAR coffee shop in Northwich, if you're local. We can get to know each other and I want to hear all about your plans, from the venue to the little details.
Often, couples like to get booked into the diary and meet sometime closer to the wedding day. This is perfectly fine, I'm always up for that brew (and cake!). We can get you booked straight in!
If you need supplier recommendations or advice on making the most of your photos, I’m always happy to help.
Your booking is confirmed with a £400 payment, which is deducted from your final amount. The remaining balance can be paid any time up to four weeks before the wedding day.
On the Wedding Day
I’ll arrive in plenty of time for the preparations, capturing all the details, the build-up, and those quiet, emotional moments before the ceremony. Throughout the day, I’ll blend in naturally to document everything as it unfolds—the laughter, the tears, and all those beautifully unscripted moments.
We’ll take a little time for some relaxed portraits. Nothing overly posed—just a chance to step away from the chaos for a few minutes and capture you both looking incredible in a way that feels effortless and natural. If you need a little guidance, I’ll give you casual prompts.
I'll also capture the required group photos. We’ll keep them efficient and easy-going, so they don’t take up too much of your time but still give you a set of shots to look back on.
If you have any surprises planned for your guests, let me know in advance so I can make sure not to miss them! Once the evening celebrations kick in, I stay into the party to capture the real energy of the dancefloor.
After the Wedding
Once I get home, I immediately back up your images to keep them safe. Within 72 hours, you’ll receive a preview of 15-30 photos, so you can relive the day while the excitement is still fresh.
Your full gallery will be delivered within 5 weeks via a private online gallery, where you (and your guests, if you allow them) can download the high-resolution images. You’ll receive every photo in both colour and black and white so you can enjoy the best of both worlds.
