Full-day digital-only means the cheapest package on a photographer's website that counts as a full day (stated hours of 7 or more, or the page calls it a full day when hours were not verified) and is not flagged as including an album, a second photographer or video. Unknown inclusion flags stay in the set: 69.9% of the UK headline packages do not say whether an album is included (n=1,438). From-prices are included (19.0%, n=390). Shorter coverage is shown separately, with the hours. Surveyed 4 October 2026. Source: public photographer pricing pages. Methodology.
What changes the price
- Hours of coverage. A half day in this survey is 4 to 5 hours, not a full day.
- Whether an album or a second photographer is included. Packages flagged as including either are outside the anchor price. About 70% of the UK headline packages do not say whether an album is included (69.9%, n=1,438), so check the quote.
- The date and the venue. The survey does not publish a weekday or off-season discount, so ask for that in the quote.
Before you book
We do not vet photographers. Ask for a full gallery, public liability insurance and a written contract, and meet them before you pay a deposit. How quote matching works. Five questions to ask.
