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 the same 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 locked behind upgrades

As a result, couples often pay for hours that add little value to their final gallery.

What £80/hr wedding photography actually gives you

Hourly pricing focuses on moments, not filler time. Instead of committing to a full day, you choose coverage that matches your plans.

At Dare Photography, hourly coverage starts from £80/hr, which is why many couples first explore our Affordable Wedding Photographer in London page.

• Pay only for the hours you need
• Calm guidance instead of rushed timelines
• Clear pricing with no hidden extras

Real-world comparison

• Registry wedding: £320–£480 hourly vs £1,500 fixed
• Short cultural wedding: 5–6 useful hours vs unused gaps
• Outcome: More relevant images, lower total spend

This is why many London couples now avoid one-size-fits-all packages.

Which option is right for you?

• Choose £1,500 packages if you truly want full-day coverage
• Choose £80/hr pricing if your wedding is focused and efficient
• Choose flexibility if you want control over your budget
