What moves the price
- Photographer's experience — an event photographer with a long portfolio of similar events usually charges more than someone starting out.
- Duration of the event — coverage is priced by the hours the photographer spends at your event, plus editing afterwards.
- Deliverables — an online gallery costs less than a printed album, and more edited images mean more editing time.
- Number of guests — a larger event means more groups to photograph and more images to edit.
- Complexity of the shots required — low light, stage work or large group shots need more kit and skill than simple candid photos.
- Travel distance — an event far from the photographer's base adds travel time to the day, which is built into the price.

How to pay less

- A digital gallery of edited images costs less than an album or prints; say which you need when you book.
- Asking for fewer, carefully edited images rather than every shot from the day can cut the photographer's editing time.
- Holding the event at a venue with good natural light can mean less lighting kit for the photographer to bring and set up.

- Information about the venue, including any access restrictions.
