Pricing for an event in London varies more than people expect, and most of that variation comes down to a handful of factors rather than the photographer simply picking a number.

At LemonShark Studio, event bookings run quoted per hours on the ground and deliverables. That figure reflects the time on the ground, the number of images retouched, and how quickly you need everything delivered. Rush turnaround, additional locations and larger teams all move the number, but the baseline is set deliberately so you know what you’re paying for before you ask.

The honest advice: ask any photographer you’re considering exactly what is included in their quoted price, not just the headline number. Cheap rarely means simple. A quote that excludes retouching, travel or a second shooter often ends up costing more once those are added back in.
