The gift that lasts
Photography Gift Registry
Add professional wedding photography to your gift list — let the people who love you contribute towards the photographs you'll keep forever.
Why photography?
The most meaningful thing to ask for
Unlike a toaster or a bedset, wedding photographs are irreplaceable.
Appliances wear out. Photographs of your wedding day will exist for generations — shown to your children, your grandchildren.
It's the most-commented gift on every registry that includes it.
Guests who contribute love knowing their gift is something you actually wanted and will actually use for the rest of your life.
It removes the biggest source of wedding budget anxiety.
Photography is consistently one of the top-three most regretted cuts in wedding budgets. A gift registry solves that.
How it works
01
Contact me to add photography to your registry
Get in touch to confirm your date and discuss which package you'd like your guests to contribute towards.
02
Share a personalised contribution link
I'll create a simple, dedicated page for your registry that guests can access directly. No middleman platform, no commission.
03
Guests contribute any amount
Minimum contribution is £50. Every amount is tracked and documented — contributions are applied directly to your balance.
04
Photography is fully funded — or part-funded
If contributions cover the full package, brilliant. If they cover part of it, you pay the remainder. No pressure either way.
Registry options
Coverage contribution
Any amount towards full-day or half-day wedding coverage. The most popular registry option.
E.g. contribute £200 towards full-day coverage
Second shooter add-on
Gift the addition of a second photographer — complete coverage from two perspectives.
£350 — a specific, contained gift amount
Album contribution
Contribute towards a fine-art wedding album. Albums start at £450.
Any amount from £100 applied to album balance
Full package gift
If guests want to give the whole package, I can issue a formal gift voucher for them to present.
£1,250 for half-day · £1,750 for full-day
How to share it
- Add a brief line to your wedding website: ‘In place of physical gifts, we'd love contributions towards our wedding photography.’
- Share the contribution link directly — via WhatsApp, email, or your wedding website.
- Include it on your physical invitation inserts alongside any other registry details.
- Post it to your wedding Facebook group or couples Instagram.
Questions
Is there a platform fee or commission?
No. Unlike some third-party gift registry services, I manage contributions directly. Every penny goes towards your photography balance.
What if we don't raise the full amount?
You pay the remainder yourself. Many couples use the registry to offset a significant part of the cost, then cover the rest. There's no obligation to raise 100%.
Can guests contribute after the wedding?
Yes — many guests give money after the day. Contributions are accepted until two weeks before your event when your final balance is due.
Do contributors receive a receipt?
Yes — each person who contributes receives an email confirmation showing their contribution amount, your names, and the event date.
