Photography Package - Day Rate

At this price point, it’s likely aimed at budget-conscious clients, 
emerging photographers, weekday/midweek bookings, smaller events, or 
non-wedding work (e.g., family gatherings, parties, or portraits), but 
the core elements of an 8-hour service generally follow industry 
standards.

Here’s an overview of what a typical photographer would include in an 8-hour 
package priced around this level (especially when editing is explicitly 
included):

• Coverage duration — 8 full hours of continuous photography on the day.
This usually starts from preparations (e.g., getting ready, venue 
details) and runs through key moments up to around the first dance, 
speeches, or early evening reception (depending on your timeline). An 
8-hour block captures a solid “full day” story for most events without 
late-night coverage.
• Pre-event consultation — A planning discussion (via phone, email, or video call) 
to understand your schedule, must-have shots, family dynamics, 
locations, and any special requests.
• Travel — Often included within a reasonable local radius (e.g., within 
the photographer’s region or a set mileage limit). Extra travel fees 
might apply for distant locations.
• Full professional coverage of the day — Candid, posed, and detail shots, typically including:
• Getting-ready moments (bride/groom/family preparations)
• Ceremony or main event
• Group/family photos
• Couple/individual portraits
• Reception highlights (cake cutting, speeches, dancing, guest candids)
• Post-production editing — All selected images professionally edited 
(colour correction, exposure adjustments, cropping, basic retouching). 
This is a key included feature at £350, as many budget packages charge 
separately or limit heavy editing.
• Number of final images — Usually 300–600+ fully edited high-resolution 
digital files (exact number varies by photographer and event pace; 
lower-end packages might deliver closer to 300–400).
• Delivery method — A private online gallery for viewing, downloading, 
and sharing (often with guest access options). Some include a USB drive 
or cloud download link as backup. Print rights are typically granted for
personal use.

What is usually NOT included (or may cost extra at this price):

• Second photographer/assistant
• Albums, prints, canvases, or framed products
• Engagement/pre-wedding shoot
• Extra hours beyond 8
• Drone photography, video, or specialist equipment
• Heavy retouching (e.g., advanced skin editing)
