What £1,500 wedding photography packages usually include
Fixed-price packages often look attractive because everything is bundled. However, that bundle assumes every wedding needs a similar amount of coverage.
- 8–10 hours, even if your ceremony is short
- Long gaps between moments you may not want photographed
- Limited flexibility if timelines change
- Extras sometimes locked behind upgrades
For some couples, a full-day package is perfect. For others, it can mean paying for hours that add little value to the final gallery.
What £250 wedding photography coverage actually gives you
Minimum coverage focuses on the most important parts of your wedding day. Instead of committing to a full-day package, you begin with focused coverage and extend only if your timeline needs more.
At Dare Photography, wedding photography starts from £250 minimum coverage, with additional photography time available at £79/hr.
- Clear starting price
- Flexible extension if you need more time
- Calm guidance instead of rushed timelines
- Transparent pricing with no hidden extras
