Pricing FAQ

Do I get a 3D virtual gallery with my session?

Yes - every Opus Lumière session of two hours or more includes The Growing Gallery, a private, password-protected 3D gallery of your finished photographs that you walk through and share with family. It is free for two years and gains a floor with every shoot. One-hour and 1.5-hour sessions don’t include it.

What’s included in your prices?

Every package includes a relaxed, fully guided session, your hand-edited high-resolution photographs and a private online gallery. Prints, wall art and albums can be arranged afterwards for a separate price.

Where in London can we have our session?

Anywhere across central London is included - Westminster, the South Bank, Tower Bridge, Regent’s Park and more. Sessions further out can be arranged; just ask.

How do we book and secure our date?

Get in touch with your preferred date and location and we’ll confirm availability. A booking secures your date, and we plan everything together beforehand.

What should we wear?

Soft, comfortable outfits in muted or light tones photograph beautifully in natural light, while bold patterns tend to compete with the surroundings. Bring a second outfit if you’d like a change, and comfortable shoes for walking between spots.

How much should I pay for engagement pictures?

Enough to get a photographer who directs you properly and a set of edited, high-resolution photos you actually own. With us that is £225 for one hour and 20 photos, £325 for two hours and 40, and £425–£525 for three to four hours with outfit changes - every package includes the private gallery and full print rights, with nothing sold back to you afterwards.

Clear, honest pricing


Engagement photo shoot prices in London

Our engagement photo shoot prices in London start at £225 for a relaxed one-hour session at a single location and run to £525 for four hours across several - each with a set number of hand-edited photographs (20 for every hour) and no hidden extras.

Each package above sets out exactly what’s included, from the number of edited images to your private online gallery, so you can pick the option that suits your budget and how many photographs you’d like to keep. Whether it’s a quick visit to one iconic spot or an afternoon exploring the city together, every session is an easy, enjoyable experience.

What you are paying for


What affects the cost of an engagement session

A few things explain why prices vary from one studio to the next. Knowing them makes it easy to compare quotes fairly.

Experience and direction

Photographers who know how to pose, light and reassure you tend to charge a higher session fee - and that expertise is the difference between snapshots and timeless portraits.

Locations and session length

A quick visit to one spot costs less than a half-day exploring several locations with outfit changes and travel between them. The settings you choose shape both the look and the length of your session.

Prints, albums and extra images

Every package includes a generous set of edited photographs. Optional prints, wall art and albums can be arranged afterwards for a separate price, should you fall in love with more.

Locations & timing


Engagement shoot locations in London, and what each package buys

The price you pay follows the time you book, and the time you book follows how much of London you want in the pictures. This is how the packages map onto the city - all inside the area we cover, with no travel charge.

One location, one hour (£225): Tower Bridge, Westminster or a park you love

The one-hour engagement shoot suits a single iconic backdrop - Tower Bridge from the north bank at sunrise, Westminster Bridge with Big Ben behind you, or the park where you got engaged. Twenty hand-edited photos, one outfit, and the whole thing done before the crowds arrive.

Two locations, two hours (£325): Regent’s Park and Primrose Hill, or the South Bank and St Paul’s

Our most popular engagement package pairs two places a short walk apart: the rose gardens of Regent’s Park and the skyline from Primrose Hill, or the South Bank’s river light followed by St Paul’s from the Millennium Bridge. Time for a second outfit, forty photos, and a proper wander between the two.

Several locations, three to four hours (£425–£525): a route across the city

For couples who want the whole story of their London - Notting Hill’s pastel streets, the mews of Belgravia, St Dunstan in the East’s ruined church garden, Greenwich Park’s view over the river - the longer sessions build a route with outfit changes along the way and sixty to eighty photos at the end of it. It is the package South Asian couples most often choose for a pre-wedding shoot with more than one look.

The best time for an engagement shoot in London

The first hour after sunrise and the golden hour before sunset, on a weekday if you can - the light is softer, the people are fewer and every place looks its best. Spring blossom, June roses, October colour and the Christmas lights each give the same spot a different feel, and if the forecast turns we move the date for free.

Pre-wedding shoot or engagement shoot?

Photographically they are the same session and the same prices. An engagement shoot celebrates the proposal and tends to happen soon after it; a pre-wedding shoot sits closer to the wedding and usually has a job to do - save-the-dates, a welcome board, the screens at the reception. Our pre-wedding photoshoot page covers the differences in planning.

Your engagement photographer, and who else is there

Joy is the engagement photographer behind the camera at every London engagement photography session; Annie is beside her directing the movement, the outfits and the moments, so you both feel comfortable within the first ten minutes. If you book Joy as your London wedding photographer too, the engagement shoot doubles as a rehearsal - by the wedding day you already know how the two of them work.

Packages


Engagement packages: what’s included

Every package includes a relaxed, fully guided session, a private online gallery of beautifully edited photographs, and the option to add prints, wall art or an album afterwards. Choosing a package rather than paying per image usually works out better value, and means your collection is ready to treasure from day one.

If you’re comparing prices elsewhere, look closely at what each price point covers: the number of digital images, whether files are high resolution, how long the session runs and whether prints are included. Our packages spell all of this out, so there are no surprises after your session.

Worth every penny


Are engagement photos worth it?

When you weigh up the price, it helps to think about what you’re really paying for: a single afternoon that becomes a lifetime of memories. This chapter is fleeting, and a thoughtfully planned session turns it into beautiful photographs you’ll return to for years.

Most couples tell us it was worth it many times over once they hold the finished prints. An experienced eye captures not just how you looked, but how this moment felt - in timeless portraits no phone snapshot can match.

Every option is clearly priced, so you can compare side by side and choose with no pressure.
