Planning a wedding in London can feel intense. Venues have strict timings, travel takes longer than expected, and the day moves fast. However, when your photographer follows a clear process, everything becomes simpler.
This is the step-by-step process we use at Dare Photography. It’s designed to keep communication clear, reduce stress, and still deliver luxury-quality images. And because our coverage can be booked by the hour (including from £80/hr for photography), you can plan without paying for unused time.
The full process: Enquiry → Consultation → Booking → Planning → Wedding Day → Delivery
Enquiry
First, send your date, venue(s), and rough timings (ceremony + reception). Then tell us what matters most: candid moments, portraits, family photos, or cultural traditions.
Start here: Contact Dare Photography
Consultation (10–20 minutes)
Next, we do a short call to understand the flow of your day. We’ll cover timing, locations, ceremony type, group photos, and how you like to be guided. As a result, you get a plan that fits your day (not a one-size package).

Booking
Once you’re ready, we secure your date with a simple agreement and confirmation. After that, you receive next steps and a planning checklist, so you always know what’s coming.

Planning (simple, not stressful)
Then we confirm the essentials: prep location, ceremony start, travel buffers, group photo list, and a light portrait plan. If you’re doing a couples session, it helps you feel confident on camera before the wedding day.
Optional: Couples & portrait sessions
Wedding day coverage
We arrive early, work calmly, and guide when needed (especially for portraits and group photos). Meanwhile, we capture everything naturally: emotion, details, and the moments you didn’t see.

Delivery
You receive a preview gallery in 5–7 days. Then, your full gallery arrives in 4–6 weeks. Everything is edited for timeless colour, natural skin tones, and consistent storytelling.
