Wedding Photography

Wedding photography through Snapshire starts with shorter coverage: a professional photographer for the key part of your day, typically the ceremony, family groups, couple portraits and the start of the reception. It's for couples having a smaller wedding, a registry office ceremony with a meal afterwards, or a day where the most important moments fall within a few hours.

Packages start from £1,200. The final scope and price depend on how many hours you need, the date, the location and the deliverables, and are confirmed in a written quote before anything is booked. Photos are professionally edited and delivered in a private online gallery. For whole-day coverage, see full-day wedding photography. Couples often look at London, Bath and the Cotswolds.

Couples whose wedding happens in a few concentrated hours: a register office or civil ceremony followed by a meal, a small wedding with close family, or a larger day where you only want the ceremony and portraits covered.

If you want everything from getting ready to the first dance and beyond, full-day wedding photography is the better fit. For a very small or two-person wedding, look at elopement photography. Our guide to wedding photography prices in England explains what to expect, and the wedding photographer page has more on planning.

Confirm the rules at your venue first. Some ceremony venues and religious buildings limit where a photographer can stand or whether flash can be used during the ceremony; ask your venue or officiant and pass it on.

Write a list of family group photos you want, with names, and ask a confident friend or relative to round people up. Share a timeline for the day, including the ceremony time, meal and any speeches. Build in 20–30 minutes for couple portraits, and check sunset time if you'd like evening light. Tell your photographer about anyone who shouldn't be photographed together.
