Edinburgh Wedding Photography Prices & Packages

Our Edinburgh wedding photography packages start with shorter elopement and small-wedding coverage. Half-day coverage is £1,195, full-day coverage with one photographer is £1,895, and full-day coverage with two photographers is £2,395.
For context, Bridebook’s 2026 wedding cost data estimates the average wedding photographer spend in Scotland at around £1,560. Full-day professional coverage typically falls around £1,400–£2,500, rising to roughly £2,000–£3,500 when you include a second photographer. Edinburgh photographers tend to sit towards the higher end of Scottish pricing, with the final cost depending on experience, coverage length, number of photographers, albums and other extras.

No. The package prices shown on this page include the photography coverage and standard inclusions listed above. Travel is included for weddings in Edinburgh and the Lothians, while any additional travel costs for weddings further afield are agreed with you before you book.
Optional extras such as albums, pre-wedding couples shoots and additional hours are priced separately and clearly listed above. A £300 booking fee secures your date and is included in your chosen package price. The remaining balance is due one month before your wedding.

A £300 booking fee secures your wedding date and forms part of your chosen package price. You don’t need to pay the full amount when you book; the remaining balance is due one month before your wedding.
Once your booking is confirmed, the package price agreed in your contract is fixed, even if our prices increase before your wedding.

Wedding photography prices can vary enormously because you’re not simply comparing the number of hours someone spends at your wedding. Experience, coverage length, one or two photographers, editing time, travel, albums, and what’s included in the final package can all affect the price.
When comparing photographers, look beyond the headline figure and check exactly what you’re getting. A cheaper package may include fewer hours, fewer finished photographs, or extra charges for things another photographer includes as standard. We’d also look carefully at experience and consistency — photographing a wedding means confidently handling changing light, unpredictable weather, tight timelines, and moments you can’t repeat.

Yes. Travel is included for weddings in Edinburgh and the Lothians.
We also photograph weddings elsewhere in Scotland and further afield. If additional travel or accommodation costs apply, we’ll agree them with you before you book so you know the full price in advance.

Absolutely. If our wedding photography prices don’t fit your plans (e.g., a 3-hour elopement on a Tuesday), just let us know. We are happy to create a bespoke quote for you.

It depends on which parts of the day you want photographed. For a small Edinburgh City Chambers wedding or elopement, two hours can be plenty for the ceremony, family photographs and relaxed portraits around the city. Our half-day coverage gives you up to four hours, which works well if you want the ceremony through to speeches or the start of your meal.
If you want the complete story — morning preparations, ceremony, reception, speeches and the first few dances — full-day coverage is usually the better fit. We’ll always look at your actual timeline rather than trying to squeeze your wedding into a package that doesn’t suit it.

We offer our main wedding photography options as packages rather than hourly coverage because most weddings are easier to plan around the parts of the day you want photographed. We offer two-hour coverage for smaller weddings, up to four hours for half-day coverage and full-day options for the complete story.
If you need longer coverage than your chosen package includes, we offer additional evening photography from £295 per hour.

The number depends on the package you choose and what happens on your wedding day. Our Half Day Coverage includes 300+ edited images, Full Day Coverage includes 600+, and Full Day Duo includes 1200+ photographs because both of us cover the day from different perspectives.
We focus on delivering a complete, carefully edited story rather than padding the gallery with duplicates or near-identical frames. We individually edit every finished photograph and deliver it in high resolution through your private online gallery.

We know you’ll be excited to see them. If you’re happy for us to share a small preview from your wedding on our social media, we can usually post a sneak peek within a few days. If you’d prefer to keep your photographs private, that’s absolutely fine. We typically deliver your full, professionally edited gallery within four weeks—often sooner, depending on the time of year.
We deliver your photographs through a private online gallery where you can download high-resolution files, share them with family and friends, and order prints if you’d like.

Our digital wedding photography packages don’t include an album as standard. If you’d like one, you can add a handmade luxury wedding album from £595 after your wedding.
Keeping albums optional means couples who only want their high-resolution digital photographs aren’t paying for something they may not use, while anyone who wants a finished printed album can add one separately.

There’s no single rule, but once you have your wedding date and have found a photographer you really want, it makes sense to check their availability sooner rather than later.
Popular Saturdays and dates during the busier wedding season can book well in advance. Some couples contact us around two years before their wedding, while others book much closer to the day.
We typically photograph around 40–50 weddings each year, so availability varies considerably by date.
We recommend doing your research properly rather than rushing, but once you’ve found the right photographer and are happy with their work, approach, and terms, there’s little benefit in delaying the booking.

Not necessarily. Our Full Day Coverage includes one photographer, while our Full Day Duo includes Claire and Jonathon.
Two photographers are most useful when you want both partners’ preparations covered, different viewpoints during the ceremony, or continued candid guest photography while family groups and couple portraits are taking place. For smaller or simpler weddings, one experienced photographer may be all you need.
We work discreetly whether there’s one or two of us, so the aim is always to add useful coverage without making your wedding feel like a photoshoot.
