Short answer
A micro wedding photographer in the UK charges less than a full-day photographer, because they are booked for fewer hours. The exact cost varies by photographer, location, and season, so you should ask for quotes from several photographers you like.
Photographers usually price by the hour or by half-day, so a micro wedding with a shorter ceremony and a small reception will cost less than a full-day shoot. You might book a photographer for two to four hours, covering the ceremony, some couple portraits, and a few group shots. The cost will depend on their experience, the area of the country, and whether it is a weekday or weekend. Some photographers offer specific micro wedding packages, which can include a set number of edited images and an online gallery. Others will give you a bespoke quote based on your timeline. To get a fair idea, contact three or four photographers whose style you love and ask for their hourly rate or a micro wedding package. Be clear about your schedule, so they can tell you if they can fit it in. Remember that travel costs might be added if you are marrying somewhere remote. You do not need a photographer for the whole day if you are keeping things small, but having someone for the key moments is often worth it. Check their portfolio for small weddings, because that shows they know how to work with a short timeline and a small group.
