Frequently asked questions
How much should a photographer charge per hour in the UK?
Rates vary significantly by session type and experience. Portrait photographers typically charge £60–£120/hr, event photographers £80–£150/hr, and wedding photographers £150–£300/hr or more. These rates should cover your time on-shoot, editing time, and business overhead — not just the hours you are physically present.
How much do wedding photographers charge in the UK?
Most professional wedding photographers charge between £1,200 and £3,500 for full-day coverage. This typically includes 8–10 hours of shooting, editing of 400–600 images, and an online gallery. Highly experienced or award-winning photographers can charge significantly more. Use this calculator to build your own quote based on your specific rates and hours.
Should I charge for photo editing time separately?
Yes — editing is a significant part of the work, often taking 2–3× the shoot time for weddings. Many photographers include editing in a package price, but you should still account for it when setting your rates. Charging separately (or clearly breaking it out in your quote) helps clients understand the full value of the service you are providing.
