Videographer and photographer prices in London
We Stream is a London video and photo production company (We Stream Ltd, founded in 2022 by Violetta Coretnic and Vitalii Vakulchuk). This is everything we charge, before you have to email anyone: a package price for every service below, and what the rest of London publishes on the right.
Every figure here is the same one we quote. The rate card is valid to 30 September 2027, and VAT will be added where applicable.
Filmed and edited
A from price for every service
Each service has its own page with the full package list: what is filmed, what is edited and what it costs. The price here is the smallest package on that page.

Podcast and YouTube rows are per episode when several are recorded in one session; a single episode on its own is £1,200. Documentary is quoted per project. Brand and commercial work starts from a package price but moves with scope: two brand films with identical briefs can be £4,000 apart on post alone. What we film at events is on our event videographer page.
Day rates, at a glance
If you would rather book the time and decide the edit later, these are our London day rates. A full day works out at under £190 an hour against £250 for a single hour.
| Service | Hourly, 2-hour minimum | Half day, up to 4 hours | Full day, up to 8 hours | Each hour beyond 8 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Event photography | £250 | £800 | £1,500 | £150 |
| Event videography, one operator | £250 | £900 | £1,500 | £150 |
| Photo and video from one operator | £300 | £1,100 | £1,900 | £200 |
Photography includes the edited images. Video day rates are filming only; editing starts at £500 for a highlight film. VAT will be added where applicable.
Extras
Add-ons, and why they are separate
Same-day work has to be planned before the shoot, because it means holding an editor for you. Anything longer than 60 seconds, interviews and the final post-show film go into the edit after the event.
Filming and editing are priced apart
A two-minute highlight from one camera and a graded film with graphics from three cameras are different jobs off the same shoot day. One bundled number would be wrong for one of them, so day rates are filming only and editing starts at £500 for a highlight film.
Longer bookings cost less per hour
A full day of up to 8 hours works out at under £190 an hour for photography or video, against £250 for a single hour, and each hour beyond 8 is £150. Multi-day work is built from the same rates, except trade shows, which have their own packages from £3,600 for three show days.

Fashion, beauty and product
Priced as a production
Every one of these jobs carries pre-production, a full crew and a usage licence, so it is not sold as a day rate. Full prices are on fashion prices and photography prices.
Lead time

Usage licence
12 monthsFashion and beauty include your own web and social in the UK for 12 months; product includes a 2-year digital licence. Paid advertising, print, out-of-home and retail are +50% of the creative fee per medium.
Turnaround

FAQ
Prices: questions
How much does a videographer cost in London?
With We Stream, £250 an hour with a two-hour minimum, £900 for a half day of up to 4 hours and £1,500 for a full day of up to 8 hours with one operator, filming only. Filmed and edited, event video starts at £1,400 for a half day and a highlight film. A second operator is £800 a day for event support or £1,000 as a full second camera.
How much does event photography cost in London?
£250 an hour with a two-hour minimum, £800 for a half day and £1,500 for a full day of up to 8 hours, with about 70 edited images an hour and 300+ from a full event day. A portrait day with a portable studio built on site is £2,000. Same-day photos are +£150 for a selection of 10 to 15, or +£400 for the full gallery.
Is editing included in the day rate?
No. Day rates are filming only, and editing is priced separately because its cost depends on how much footage there is and how finished it has to be. A highlight film starts at £500. The packages on each service page include the edit.
What does same-day delivery cost?
On photography, +£150 for a selection of 10 to 15 edited images by the end of the booking, or +£400 for the full gallery edited while the event runs. On video, £400 buys one recap of up to 60 seconds, cut off site and delivered the same day; several same-day pieces need an on-site editor, from £1,200 a day. Either way, it has to be planned before the shoot.
How fast is standard delivery?
5 working days for photography and 7 for video, both included. The average video turnaround across our bookings is 72 hours. Product and beauty retouching takes 14 working days.
Do you charge by the hour or by the project?
Every service has filmed and edited packages with a from price, and those are the place to start. Event filming can also be booked by the hour or the day: a day is up to 8 hours, and each hour beyond that is £150. Trade shows start at £3,600 for three show days. Documentary is quoted per project.
Do you travel outside London?
Yes, across the UK and Europe, with our own crew rather than local subcontractors. Travel outside London is calculated by us and included in your quote, so there is nothing to add later. VAT will be added where applicable.
What are your deposit and cancellation terms?
50% to hold the date and the balance on delivery, payable within 14 days. Cancel more than 28 days out and only the deposit is lost. Between 7 and 28 days, 75% of the fee is due; under 7 days, 100%.
