Every price in one table
Every service I offer carries a published from-price, not a “call for a quote” placeholder that leaves you guessing until the invoice lands. Thirty-seven services are listed below, each linking through to the page that explains what’s included, what pushes the number up, and what a typical booking looks like once you’ve told me a date and a postcode.

The list runs long because a one-person studio based off Old Street ends up covering most of what a household, a business or a venue anywhere from Croydon to Enfield will need at some point. If a category isn’t obvious from the name, every service in detail sets out what’s included.
What a from-price actually means
A from-price is the smallest booking I’ll take, not a number designed to get you on the phone before the real price appears. I’d argue most “from £X” prices quoted around London are marketing numbers nobody has ever paid — mine are what the last handful of bookings at that tier genuinely cost.
£150 buys one headshot, one setup, delivered within 48 hours. £180 buys a one-bedroom flat, shot and edited the same day. £950 buys eight hours of wedding cover, ceremony to first dance, with no second shooter included.
Most bookings land above the from-price, and the reason is almost always more of one thing: more rooms, more guests, more hours, more locations. A three-bedroom house costs more than a one-bedroom flat because there’s more to photograph, not because the first price was fake. You can see work at each of these price points, and I’ve written more on London photographer rates in 2026 if you want the wider market context.
The six things that change the price
Six factors move a quote more than anything else. In order of how often they come up:
- Hours on site. A £350 event booking covers two hours. Add a third for speeches and a slower drinks reception and the quote moves with it.
- Number of people or products. Ten products at £300 becomes thirty products at a higher rate once retouching time triples.
- Number of locations. One flat is £180. A three-property portfolio for one agent on the same morning is a day rate, not three separate call-outs.
- Turnaround. Standard delivery is built into the from-price. Asking for a wedding gallery in a week instead of four to six carries a rush fee, because it means clearing other work to prioritise yours.
- Usage and licensing. A headshot for a LinkedIn profile costs one thing. The same image on a bus stop poster in Croydon is a different licence entirely — how image usage rights affect price covers this properly.
- Whether a second photographer is needed. A wedding with a ceremony in Greenwich and a reception in Shoreditch, an hour apart in Friday traffic, needs two people covering it, not one racing between boroughs.
Any one of these can move a quote by fifty pounds or five hundred. Most quotes move because of two or three at once.
Day rate, half day and per-image
A day rate means eight hours on site, not eight hours with a camera to my eye. It includes travel within London, breaks, kit changes and the dead time between the speeches finishing and the first dance starting. Half a day is four hours, and it’s what most headshot sessions, small events and single-property shoots use. I’ve written more on how a photographer’s day rate works if the maths interests you.
Per-image pricing suits short, predictable jobs: ten headshots for a small team, or a product range with a fixed shot list. It falls apart for anything unpredictable, such as a wedding, a conference, or an event where nobody knows in advance how many usable moments there’ll be. I’d rather quote a day rate for those and let the number of good images vary than charge per photo and watch the incentive tip toward quantity over quality.
What’s included as standard
Every from-price above includes the same baseline, whatever the service:
- Full editing and colour correction on every delivered image
- An online gallery for viewing, downloading and sharing
- A standard licence covering personal or single-business use
- Travel within the M25, including the Congestion Charge and ULEZ
- Public liability insurance, which most venues now ask to see
- Two independent backups of everything shot, kept for twelve months
What’s not included: printed products, albums, extended or exclusive licensing, rush turnaround, and parking where there’s genuinely nowhere to leave a van near the venue. That last one is a real cost in the City and around Mayfair, where a loading bay can be a twenty-minute walk from the door, and it gets added as a line item rather than buried in the day rate.
Deposits, payment and cancellation
A 25% deposit holds your date once you’ve booked, and it’s non-refundable. That’s what stops me holding a Saturday in June against three enquiries and losing all three to other studios. The balance is due seven days before the shoot, or 28 days before a wedding.
Businesses booking on account can be invoiced, and I’ll work to a purchase order where one’s needed. Cancel more than 14 days out and you lose only the deposit; cancel inside 14 days and the full balance is due, since by then I’ve usually turned other enquiries away for that slot. Date changes are usually free with enough notice, and case by case closer to the day.
None of this is meant to feel restrictive. It’s how a one-person studio protects a calendar that only has one of everything in it. If a term here isn’t clear, the questions I’m asked most about booking covers the rest.
Why I don’t discount
A winter wedding costs the same as a summer one, and a Tuesday shoot costs the same as a Saturday. The kit, the editing time and the risk of something going wrong don’t change because the calendar says November instead of June. If anything, October rain and light gone by 5pm make winter weddings harder work, not easier.
I won’t cut the price to win a booking, because the next client who hears about it will expect the same, and then the from-price on this page stops meaning anything. What I will do is cut the scope: fewer hours, one location instead of two, no second shooter.
If that still doesn’t fit, I’d rather say so and point you towards a photographer whose day rate suits your budget than stretch mine to meet it. What to ask before booking covers the other questions worth putting to whoever you choose.
Send the date, the location and what you need photographed or filmed, and tell me what you need and I’ll quote within a working day. I reply from Shoreditch, and every quote comes with the from-price it’s built on so you can see where the number comes from.
