What changes the price
- Hours of coverage. A half day in this survey is 4 to 5 hours, not a full day.
- Whether an album or a second photographer is included. Packages flagged as including either are outside the anchor price. About 70% of the UK headline packages do not say whether an album is included (69.9%, n=1,438), so check the quote.
- The date and the venue. The survey does not publish a weekday or off-season discount, so ask for that in the quote.
Before you book
We do not vet photographers. Ask for a full gallery, public liability insurance and a written contract, and meet them before you pay a deposit. How quote matching works. Five questions to ask.
