How much does wedding photography cost?
A full wedding can cost many thousands of pounds, however, here at River-Waldo we specialise in the smaller wedding such as at registry offices and licensed places such as hotels. Our prices start from £99 and build to whatever you want. We cater for people who generally are getting married on a budget but still want fabulous images as a record of the event.
What’s included in your portrait photography packages?
Portrait sessions start at £99 for one hour in our Wolverhampton studio, five fully edited digital images chosen from many, and printing rights. You can upgrade for extra images, physical prints, or on-location shoots.

Alex was amazing. We had a graduation photo shoot for my partner's graduation. Alex helped us to feel at ease and relaxed as we had never done a photoshoot before. It was a lovely photoshoot and so much fun. The photos were beautiful and we are so happy with the results. Will definitely be using River Waldo photo studios again in the future.

Alex was extremely welcoming and professional throughout the entire shoot. He provided excellent guidance with posing and offered a great selection of props, which enhanced the overall experience and final results. His attention to detail and supportive approach made the session both comfortable and productive. I would gladly book with him again should I be in Wolverhampton in the future. If you are looking for a high-quality birthday photoshoot for yourself or friends, I highly recommend River Waldo. Thank you again for the amazing photos—I am truly delighted with the final outcome.
