Choosing the right wedding photography package should feel simple, flexible and tailored to you — not confusing or overwhelming. As a Sussex wedding photographer, I believe every couple deserves photography that fits their day perfectly, which is why I offer a small number of clear, adaptable options that can be shaped around your plans.
Every wedding is unique, and your photography should reflect that. Whether you’re planning an intimate countryside celebration or a full day of festivities, I’m here to help you build a wedding photography package that captures your story naturally and beautifully.
If you’re wondering where to start, don’t worry — this guide will walk you through everything you need to consider when creating your perfect wedding photography package.
Where To Begin With Your Wedding Photography Package
The first step in building your ideal wedding photography package is deciding how much of your day you would like photographed.
Coverage is completely your choice. Think about which moments matter most to you — from getting ready in the morning through to the evening celebrations. Many couples choose to begin coverage around two hours before the ceremony, which allows time to capture those special final preparations, quiet moments with loved ones and the excitement before you walk down the aisle.
Next, consider when you would like photography to finish. This might be:
-
After your drinks reception
-
Through the speeches
-
Up to your first dance
I don’t work strictly by the hour because weddings don’t always run perfectly to schedule. If you book coverage until your first dance and timings shift, I’ll always stay to capture those important moments — no clock-watching, just storytelling.
What’s Included In Your Wedding Photography Package
No matter which wedding photography package you choose, you’ll receive a calm, helpful and professional experience from start to finish.
Planning & Support
I am here throughout the process to answer any questions you might have and approximately a week before the wedding, we will chat through the finer details of your wedding day. From knowing the timings and discussing any formal group shots (so I can organise and shoot them as quickly and efficiently as possible) to a general chat so I truly understand your vision of the day, and to ensure everything runs smoothly and naturally on the day.
Professionally Edited Wedding Photographs
This may seem a strange thing to include in your wedding photography package, but it is a massive part of what you’re paying a professional photographer for. You will receive your final wedding photographs fully edited in high resolution. Editing is a huge part of professional photography and ensures your images look timeless, natural and beautiful.
As a candid/documentary-style Sussex wedding photographer, I often capture multiple frames of each moment to preserve genuine emotion. After the wedding, I carefully select the strongest images before individually editing them for tone and consistency. I also include a natural mix of colour and black & white photography, tailored to your preferences.
Your Photographs On USB
Your images are delivered on a beautifully presented USB, carefully packaged and ready for you to enjoy, print and share. All images are high resolution and watermark-free, giving you complete freedom to print as often and as large as you wish.
Online Wedding Gallery
You’ll also receive a private, password-protected online gallery that youcan share with your guests and order prints, canvases, and artwork directly, if you wish.
Thank You Cards
Included in every package are 50 thank you cards, hopefully, one less thing to have to think about ordering! These beautiful A6 cards are printed with an image of your choice on the front and the details of the online gallery inside.
A Tree Planted In Your Name
For every couple I photograph, I plant an oak tree in the National Forest. I grew up — and still live — on Ashdown Forest, so trees have always been part of my world. Oaks are a favourite of mine; they stand for strength and longevity, which feels pretty fitting for a marriage. It’s a small way to mark your day and do a little good for the planet along the way.
How Many Photos Are Included?
The number of photographs you receive depends on your coverage, but as a guide, full-day wedding photography typically results in around 400 fully edited images. I never limit what I shoot on the day or restrict how many photographs you receive — your story deserves to be told in full.
Optional Extras For Your Wedding Photography Package
Your wedding photography package can be customised with additional options both before and after your wedding.
Wedding Albums
A wedding album is a beautiful way to tell the story of your day. I offer a wide range of fine art albums, and I personally design your layout using your favourite images. You’ll be able to review the design and choose your perfect cover before printing.
All main albums include complimentary parent albums — often lovingly called “Mum’s bragging books” — perfect for sharing your memories with family.
There is no time limit for ordering an album. Many couples return months or even years later to create theirs.
Prints & Wall Art
You can include prints or wall art within your wedding photography package or order them anytime after your wedding. Your wedding photographs deserve to be seen and enjoyed every day, not just stored on a screen.
Creating Your Perfect Wedding Photography Package
Building your perfect wedding photography package is simpler than it might seem. The key things to consider are:
-
How much of your wedding day would you like photographed?
-
Would you like extras such as albums, prints or extended coverage?
Everything else can be shaped around you. My goal is always to create a relaxed, flexible experience that suits your wedding, your priorities and your story.
