Wedding photography prices UK and Europe
- We love travelling to nice people's weddings so wherever your wedding is we currently don't make any charge for travel, or travel-time at all.
- Wherever your wedding is we are happy to stay all day - as long as you like - for no extra charge at all.
- We understand that many people struggle with their wedding budget so only take a token booking fee of £50 followed by £300 (£500 for weddings abroad) two weeks before your wedding (all advance payments come off the total balance) and the final balance when you choose and order your prints or album.
- If choosing a storybook album we let you pay for 50% of the remaining balance at the time of ordering and the rest when your album arrives.
- We put all your wedding pics online so everyone can see them.
- You can email or call us anytime, though hopefully not before 9.00 am or much after midnight!
- You can contribute your own ideas or preferences in your own personal album design, as we upload it for your feedback and ideas before sending it to print - we don't mind how hard we work to make you 100% happy with your album design - even if it means staying up all night!
- After the wedding has been paid for you can also purchase all images shot (currently £280) - which can be anything between 400 and over thousand full-res image files, all carefully worked on in their RAW data state (that's what takes us at least a week per wedding one average) and when ready converted to standard full resolution jpeg files and put onto one or more DVDs for you to keep for posterity.
- we'll even come along to your Hen or Stagnight too for just £280 if you want all those pics for you to print from or you might perefer to buy the prints from us online, plus our standard wedding day photography prices, subject to availability.
- We are NOT cheap but remember , as Grace Ormonde said, ‘The bitterness of poor quality remains long after low pricing is forgotten’, so hopefully you will value your wedding photography as much as we do.

Our most popular option is the Graphistudio Italian wedding book - approx A3 - with a clear crystal glance acrylic panel over your favourite wedding picture (or real leather or metal cover if you prefer) - amazing to see or hold - that comes with 6 little books for you to show round at work or to give to your family or friends as presents and see here for one of our Graphistudio storybook wedding albums. You also get 2 parent albums as well, and it comes in its own, lined suitcase - all for £2,950. We should charge you for extra pages if you choose so many photos that they can't all fit in the 60 sides (90-120 images), but in practice we rarely do, as seem to have a different attitude to money than other wedding photographers: we just want to see a huge smile on your face! These albums are guaranteed by Graphi for life. I still have my parent's wedding photos - even though they themselves are no longer with us - so can appreciate that kind of priceless value.
We also have 3 other storybooks that might suit you: one at £2,400 - again with 60 sides and 6 litle books, and your favourites photo on the front and back, a little smaller than the Graphi but not much, one a bit bigger for £2,100 for 60-80 sides with lovely hi-gloss heavy duty pages and your fave wedpics back and front again on its cover, and one around A4 for £1,760 with 40 sides - or a few pages more if you twist my arm nicely!
We also have traditional albums - slightly wider at 310x395mm, than the A3 Graphi albums - where the photos are surface mounted onto the cream or black pages; £1660 for 70 prints 9x6 and with that you also get 10 prints 12 x8 (approx A4). If you need more - or less prints you just add on - or take away - £8 per print.
If you just want to have prints and to put together your own album, that's fine too. 70 prints 9x6 are £1330. Again you can juggle with these figures by having a few less prints eg - 30 prints are 1330-40x8 (320) = £1010 and 50 prints would be 1330-20x8 (160) =£1170. Please talk to us though if you feel we have not catered fopr your needs here!
The booking fee is £50 (comes off balance), and then 2 weeks before the wedding you pay £300 (£500 advance payment though if overseas) . We prefer all payments by Internet banking straight to our business account if poss.
Since there seem to be a lot of couples wanting a CD only solution - we prefer to take good care of you and create all our magic on your prints/album really - but for those who are determined to take control of their own printing we are going to try this as an experiment. We will give you as many full-res images as can fit on one CD for £500, as fit on 2 CDs for £800, 3 CDs for £1000 or the whole wedding - all usable images as full-res JPGS (anything between 500 and £1,000 printable images) for ££1,500 for your own personal use. We still own the copyright so we can use them online for wedding adverts, on our website, or in photographic competitions - or maybe use them to promote your venue - but you can make your own prints.
If there is anything you want that we haven't listed here, just ask! We also do wall prints as crystal clear 10mmm Acrylic - up to 42" wide. See here:
