Frequently asked questions


How much do photographer services cost in the UK?


Bark's research shows that photography costs vary by experience, event type and package details. For example, a portrait session might start around £100 to £300, while wedding photography packages often range from £800 to £2,000 or more depending on hours, album delivery and number of images. Commercial or product photography pricing depends on scope and usage rights.


Do photographers include editing and retouching?


Most professional photographers include basic editing such as colour correction, exposure adjustments and cropping in their packages. More detailed retouching like skin smoothing or background removal may be an additional cost, so it's worth confirming what's covered when you book.


What should I include in my photography brief?


A clear brief explains the purpose of the shoot, the location, number of people, preferred style, and any special requests such as specific poses, props or branding. Providing examples of looks you like can help the photographer deliver the right outcome.

Laura James have been working with Paul for over 2 years now and his dedication to the video content, his creative eye and perfectionism on edits is incredible. Whether on location or in the studio, from small vases to interviews with influencers and drone shots, Paul and his crew are always out to create the most interesting, innovative and creative content possible. We love having Paul as part of our creative team and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, creative and inspiring professional in the industry.

I booked Paul Astley for a brand shoot at short notice, and the results were phenomenal. I’m not easy to please and I generally feel most people under-deliver — but Paul’s images were genuinely outstanding. I’ve done a lot of shoots over the years and this was, by far, the best. On top of the incredible results, Paul is an absolute delight to work with: calm, professional, and instinctively knows how to get the best out of a brand. I couldn’t recommend him more highly.

Paul was very punctual Very responsive and shot some fantastic photography on my project. He never missed a date when asked to drone and stills in for my progress meetings he never missed a date. His editing was second to none And took his time to get exactly what company were looking for.
