Lake District Wedding Photography Prices
A calm, simple way to work out your wedding photography coverage. Start with the amount of time you need, then only add extras if they genuinely feel useful for your day.
Digital wedding photography coverage starts from £625 for small midweek elopements, with full-day coverage at £1800. Most couples choose full-day coverage, but shorter options can work beautifully for smaller weddings, elopements and simpler plans.
If you are not sure what you need, that is completely normal. Tell me your venue, ceremony time and rough plans, and I’ll suggest a sensible amount of coverage without pushing you into more than you need.
Your instant estimate
Choose your digital coverage first, then add anything optional only if it feels useful. This is a guide price rather than a booking confirmation.
Full day coverage usually starts around 2.5 hours before your ceremony and continues through to shortly after your second dance.
See your photographs first. Choose and pay for an album after your gallery is ready, with no obligation to buy.

Which wedding photography package is right for us?
The best amount of coverage depends less on the size of the wedding and more on the shape of the day. These are simple starting points.
Elopement coverage
Best for very small midweek weddings where the focus is ceremony, a little time together afterwards and relaxed portraits nearby.
Usually 1.5 to 2 hours. Available Monday to Thursday.
£625
Approx 3 hours
Good for ceremony, family photographs and portraits. Light preparation coverage may be possible depending on timings and location.
Mon to Thu £1150. Fri, weekend or bank holiday £1300.
Approx 6 hours
A good fit if you want preparations, ceremony, family photographs, portraits and some reception coverage, often through to speeches.
£1550
Full day coverage
The most complete option. It gives the day room to breathe, from preparations through to the evening without everything feeling squeezed.
Usually around 2.5 hours before the ceremony through to shortly after your second dance.
£1800
Not sure how much time you need?
That is one of the most common questions I get. A wedding day is fairly organic, so I would rather help you choose coverage around the natural flow of the day than force everything into a rigid timetable.
What is included in the digital coverage?
The main difference between the packages is time. The way I work, edit and deliver the images is consistent across all digital packages.
Careful wedding coverage
Calm, experienced photography throughout the parts of the day you have booked. Most of the day is photographed naturally, with gentle guidance when it is useful.
Edited high-resolution images
Your finished images are individually edited and delivered as high-resolution digital files. They are not watermarked.
Private online gallery
Your gallery is private and easy to share with family and friends. You can download, enjoy and print your images for personal use.
I do not think wedding photography should feel like buying a product off a shelf. A huge part of it is trust, personality, calm experience and having someone with you who knows how to read a day properly.
A relaxed, natural approach
Around 80 to 90 percent of how I photograph a wedding is documentary and natural. I will guide you through portraits and family photographs, but I try to keep that side of things relaxed, efficient and very human.
Optional extras
These are available if they add something useful. You do not need to decide everything straight away.
Wedding highlights film
A short, music-led cinematic recap, usually around 5 to 7 minutes long. It is not a full documentary film, but it is a lovely way to revisit the feeling of the day.

One less decision now.
More freedom later.
Planning a wedding comes with enough choices and costs, so I’ve made albums something you can leave until afterwards.
There’s no need to choose a size, decide on pages or pay for an album before you’ve even seen your photographs. Enjoy your wedding first. Then, once your gallery is ready, take your time deciding how you’d like to keep those memories in print.
It helps spread the cost and gives you the freedom to choose what suits you, with no pressure when booking and no obligation to buy an album later.
