What are the costs of professional event photography?

Event photographers in London charge for their time, talent and equipment. A base rate is typically determined by how many hours they work, varying from person to person. It’s important to know what your photographer charges per hour before you book them so that you don’t get surprised with a higher than expected bill at the end of the night.

5 Questions You Should Ask The Event Photographers

After finding the photographers that are the right fit for you and your event, it’s important to make sure they’re also the best person for the job. Here are five questions every client should ask their potential photographers before booking them!

  1. What services do I get with this package? You want to know what each service includes (e.g., number of hours or photos), how many days coverage will be provided, and any extra fees such as travel expenses or editing costs not included in the cost of your package. It helps to compare packages from a few photographers so that you can figure out which one suits all your needs at an affordable price point.
  2. How soon after the event, photos will be ready? It’s important to know how long you can expect to wait before your final photos are ready and any rush fees involved. Some photographers offer a service where you’ll have access to the online gallery almost immediately after the event so that friends and family members don’t need to wait for their prints or order them themselves.
  3. What is your cancellation policy? This varies depending on the vendor, but some require at least 30 days notice while others only allow cancellations within 24 hours of an event, which means all deposits may not be refundable in this case. Make sure they’re willing to work with your schedule!
  4. Who owns my images (copyright)? When hiring a photographer, you must understand who owns your images and where they can be used before you hand over your hard-earned money. The photographer may own the copyright to all photos taken during their event or provide a limited license that allows the client to use them for personal prints but not commercial purposes without written permission from the vendor.
  5. How long are event photos stored electronically? Many photographers offer clients the option to purchase unlimited photo storage for a small monthly fee which helps them maintain and organize their files while also saving space on their hard drive.
