Tier 1
£400–£900 · Hobbyist / starter
Photographers in their first 1-3 years building a portfolio.
- Typically includes:
- 2-4 hours of coverage, 200-300 edited images, online gallery.
- Watch for:
- Lack of insurance is common at this tier. No backup equipment. Single camera body. Style often inconsistent across recent galleries. Risk of cancellation is higher because the photography may not be the photographer's primary income.
- Best for:
- Elopements, small register-office weddings, very tight budgets where photography is genuinely secondary to other priorities.
