Affordable Wedding Photography FAQs
Whether you’re wondering what counts as reasonably priced wedding photography, or you’re curious about how much a wedding photographer costs, read on for expert insight and information.
What makes a wedding photographer “affordable”?
Let’s be clear, “affordable” doesn’t necessarily mean low-quality or inexperienced. It means someone who offers good value for money, whatever your price point.
Many photographers keep their packages budget-friendly by offering shorter coverage, focusing on digital delivery, or creating special deals for weekday or off-peak weddings.
Some are newer to the industry and keen to build their portfolio, while others simply believe in making professional photography more accessible to everyone.
Whatever the reason, it’s entirely possible to find a passionate, creative photographer who works with your budget - and delivers beautiful images, too.
How much does a wedding photographer cost in the UK?
Photographer pricing varies depending on location, experience and how many hours of coverage you need.
On Hitched, our data shows you can book a professional photographer from as little as £300, with many talented options available for under £1,000.
To give you a better idea, here’s a general breakdown of typical starting prices across the UK:
- Under £500 - Usually short coverage (e.g. ceremony and portraits), ideal for registry office weddings, micro celebrations or newer photographers.
- £500 - £1,000 - Lower priced mid-range packages including half-day coverage, experienced photographers offering smaller or digital-only packages, or off-peak dates.
- £1,000+ - Full-day coverage, second shooters, albums and more included, from an experienced, in-demand photographer or photography team.
Affordable Wedding Photographers in London
Let’s be honest: London isn’t always the cheapest city to get married in. But affordable wedding photographers do exist in the capital, and many offer exceptional value.
According to Hitched data, the average starting price for a wedding photographer listed on Hitched in London is £1,105, with most suppliers falling between £520 and £1,500. However, there are professionals listed on Hitched offering packages from just over £350 - but don’t expect full day coverage and loads of prints for that price.
These packages are ideal for shorter coverage, smaller celebrations or elopements, and many photographers will also tailor their offering depending on your needs.
Whether you’re getting married in a town hall, at your favourite local restaurant, or hosting a relaxed party in the park, you can still get high-quality, meaningful photographs at a fraction of the average price.
Affordable Wedding Photographers Across the UK
No matter where you’re getting married, there are photographers all over the UK offering incredible packages for under £1,000.
From Cornwall to the Lake District, Cardiff to Edinburgh, you'll find professionals who offer half-day coverage, elopement bundles and digital-only packages that allow you to prioritise the moments that matter without stretching your budget.
Our top tip? Use the search filters on Hitched to set your budget and location - it’ll help you quickly find photographers who match your needs. And don’t be afraid to ask about weekday or off-peak discounts - you can discover some amazing photography deals and discounts on Hitched.
How to Find a Great Wedding Photographer on a Budget
The key to finding the right photographer isn’t about spending the most, it’s about asking the right questions and understanding exactly what you want from your day.
Here are a few smart ways to keep costs down while still getting the photos you’ll love:
- Consider shorter coverage. You might not need prep and party shots - ceremony to speeches might be enough.
- Look for digital-only packages. Albums can always be added later - you’ll still get all the edited images in high resolution.
- Book a weekday or off-peak wedding. Suppliers are often more flexible on pricing outside of peak Saturdays.
- Speak to newer photographers. Many have strong portfolios and offer introductory rates as they build experience.
- Use Hitched filters to search by budget. You can browse real reviews, see starting prices, and shortlist your favourites.
What’s considered an affordable wedding photographer?
Any professional offering a package for under £1,000 would be considered affordable - especially if it includes edited digital images and at least a few hours of coverage.
Can you get a good wedding photographer for under £500?
You can, particularly if you only need short coverage (e.g. ceremony and couple portraits), or if you’re getting married on a weekday. There are plenty of photographers on Hitched who start their pricing around £300–£500.
Are there affordable wedding photographers in London?
Definitely. While the average starting price for Hitched photographers in London is around £1,105, there are photographers on Hitched offering packages from as little as £350.
It’s all about knowing where and how to look, and managing your expectations accordingly.
How do I find a wedding photographer near me under £1,000?
Head to the Hitched photographer directory, filter by price and location, and start reaching out to suppliers whose work you love. Many are happy to customise packages based on your needs.
Will I still get good quality if I book a lower-cost photographer?
You can - but you need to pay attention to reviews and their portfolio, as well as what’s included.
Many affordable photographers are still talented, skilled and passionate about their work. You’re not necessarily paying less for lower quality - just for a more streamlined service, shorter coverage or off-peak timing.
Now check out what key questions to ask your wedding photographer before you book.
