What Affects the Cost?

St Andrews wedding photography costs are influenced by several key factors. The photographer's experience and portfolio reputation significantly impact pricing. Your venue choice—whether a historic kirk, the Old Course Hotel, or a rural estate—may affect logistics and pricing. Season matters: summer and weekends command premium rates; winter and weekday discounts may apply. The number of hours covered, guest count, and requests for additional services (albums, videography, drones) all increase the final cost. Competition in Scotland is moderate, keeping prices below London levels.

Money-Saving Tips

Book during the off-season (November–March) for 15–25% savings. Consider a half-day package focused on ceremony and reception highlights rather than full coverage. Request digital files only without prints or albums, and ask about package bundles that include engagement shoots and albums at discounted rates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do St Andrews wedding photographers include travel costs?

Most St Andrews-based photographers include local travel within their coverage area at no extra charge. If your venue is more than 10 miles outside St Andrews or in a remote location, expect a travel surcharge of £50–£150. Always confirm travel terms in your contract.

What's included in a typical full-day wedding photography package?

A full-day package typically includes 8–10 hours of coverage, a second photographer for part of the day, high-resolution digital gallery with professional editing, and delivery on USB or cloud link. Prints, albums, and engagement shoots are usually add-ons. Confirm deliverables with your photographer.

How many photos will I receive from my wedding?

Full-day weddings typically yield 400–800 edited photos, depending on guest count and event duration. Half-day coverage usually produces 200–400 images. Photographers deliver edited finals only; unedited RAW files are rarely included in standard packages.

Should I hire a second photographer?

For weddings with 80+ guests or multiple simultaneous events (ceremony and family portraits at different locations), a second photographer is highly recommended. The extra £400–£800 investment captures moments a single photographer cannot, especially during preparation and key ceremonies.
