The Cost of Wedding Photography
You can expect to pay between £500-£2500 for a photographer, depending on the package you select, the wedding location and the quality of photographer. This said, beware of expensive photographers who overcharge in order to appear higher quality - as this is not always the case. Spend time viewing samples of work and weigh the quality and style up with price. Only book when you are happy to do so and don't be pressured into signing up through fear of availability.
Consider style again, there are many diverse styles of photography from traditional formal shooting to reportage photography, where the photographer steps back and captures your day as it happens in an artistic and relaxed way, similar to the role of a wedding videographer.
Most importantly, don't be frightened off by high costs - this is the most important day of your life and spending a great deal of money on the rest of the wedding justifies spending money on photography and videography. Memories fade fast but photographs and film won't!
