HOW MUCH DO MODERN WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS COST?
In the UK & Ireland, modern wedding photography typically sits anywhere between £2,000 and £6,00, depending on experience, coverage, and the approach taken on the day.
At the lower end of the range, couples can expect shorter coverage or photographers earlier in their careers. Mid-range pricing usually reflects full-day coverage from an established photographer, often with a refined editing style and a strong documentary or editorial approach. Higher-end pricing often includes hybrid digital and film coverage, a second photographer, extended hours, or destination-style travel.
Factors that commonly influence pricing include:
Length of coverage
Whether a second photographer is included
Film or hybrid film/digital photography
Travel and location requirements
The photographer’s experience and body of work
Most modern wedding photographers include a full gallery of carefully edited images, delivered digitally. Albums, film photography, and extended coverage are often optional extras.
Rather than focusing solely on price, many couples find it helpful to consider how a photographer’s style, approach, and way of working aligns with the kind of experience they want on their wedding day. This is why it helps to use a curated supplier directory like the Book Of Love.
REAL WEDDINGS CAPTURED BY MODERN PHOTOGRAPHERS
Seeing a photographer’s work across an entire wedding day can be just as important as browsing individual portfolios. Real weddings offer insight into how a photographer works in different settings, lighting conditions, and moments — from quiet, intimate ceremonies to lively celebrations later in the day.
The real weddings featured on our blog showcase modern wedding photography across a range of venues, locations, and celebration styles throughout the UK & Ireland. Each feature highlights not only the photographer’s work, but how their approach translates into a complete visual story.
These weddings are selected to reflect the kind of thoughtful, design-led, and non-traditional celebrations MNT’s Book of Love is known for — helping couples explore photography styles in context and with confidence.
FAQS
ABOUT BOOKING YOUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
-
All wedding photographers work hard to develop their own style. Many modern wedding photographers focus on candid moments, natural light, and editorial composition, while traditional photography often prioritises posed images and formal structure.
-
The sooner, the better! Most couples book between 9 and 15 months in advance, particularly for popular dates between May and September. Wedding photographers with a strong editorial or documentary style often book earlier due to limited availability. And many photographers only take on limited number of wedding bookings each year due to the volume of editing that they need to do in between.
-
This is a personal choice. Coverage often ranges from 6 to 10 hours, depending on the size of your wedding and how much of the day you want documented i.e from getting ready in the morning to the first dance Many modern photographers recommend full-day coverage to capture the complete story. It’s unlikely that photographers will be able to accept smaller bookings too early in advance, especially during peak season.
-
Most wedding photographers will jump at the chance to travel to new wedding venues and locations, including destination weddings. However, this is a personal choice based on many factors — travel, accommodation, and availability. If you find a photographer whose style you love but they are not local to you, it’s always worth enquiring.
-
Delivery times vary, especially during peak wedding season but your photographer will advise you. Most photographers aim to deliver some sneak peaks within a couple of weeks of your wedding, and a full gallery within 12 weeks. Always ask for confirmation of expected delivery times to manage your expectations.

ARE YOU A MODERN WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER WHO WANTS A LISTING?
MNT’s Book of Love is known for its careful curation of modern wedding suppliers. Inclusion in the directory isn’t based on volume, trends, or popularity, but on consistency of work, clarity of style, and an approach that aligns with modern, design-led weddings.

Whether their style leans editorial, documentary, or artistic, each photographer demonstrates a considered approach to storytelling and an ability to capture weddings in a way that feels natural, contemporary, and emotionally honest.
