Hours decide the price

A half day of about five hours takes you from the ceremony to the speeches. A full day starts with the preparations and ends with the first dance. Add a second photographer for £150 to £400 if you have a big crowd or two places to cover.

A printed album is usually extra, at £250 to £700.

Travel and locations

Harrogate gives photographers plenty of settings, from the Valley Gardens and the Stray to hill country in the dales. Moors and dales venues may add a travel charge, so say where you are marrying before you ask for a price.

Winter light fades early. Ask how the photographer plans for a dark afternoon.

What to ask first

Ask how many edited images you get and how long they take to arrive. Check who owns the copyright and whether you can print them. These figures are a ballpark, so request a quote for your date.
