Most disappointment around event pricing doesn’t come from the headline figure. It comes later, from an extra that shows up after the booking is confirmed.
The ones worth asking about directly: travel costs beyond a photographer’s usual radius, parking or congestion charges if you’re in central London, additional retouching once you’ve seen the full gallery, and rush fees if your deadline moves up. None of these are unreasonable to charge for, but they should be disclosed before you pay a deposit, not after.
At LemonShark Studio the quote for an event (quoted per hours on the ground and deliverables) is built to include everything discussed on the initial call, so there’s nothing left to discover later. If something changes on the day, that gets agreed with you before any extra work happens, not billed as a surprise afterwards.

FAQs
Quick answers, no fluff.
Do you shoot video at events too?
Photography and film run together under one booking, stills for press and socials, plus a highlights film cut for whichever platforms actually matter to the client.
Will you work with our branding and shot list?
Happily. Brand guidelines, sponsors that need coverage and the moments that matter all get captured first, before hunting for the good candid shots.
