| Full day | £2,500 |
Suits smaller stands, single-track events and speaker sessions. Booked separately, a photographer and an operator for the same day is £4,200.
Every competitor quote you're holding bundles them. Ours doesn't, because a two-minute highlight from one camera and a graded film with graphics from three cameras are different jobs off the same shoot day, and one bundled number would be wrong for one of them.
A full day works out at £220 an hour for photography and £200 for video, against £300 for a single hour. Multi-day work is built from the same rates rather than sold as a package, because "three days" covers jobs that are nothing like each other.

Each service has its own page with the full package list: what's filmed, what's edited, and what it costs. The "from" price is the smallest package on that page.
Podcast and YouTube episodes are priced per episode when several are recorded in one session, which is why those rows read lower than the others. A single episode on its own is £1,550.
iGaming trade shows and documentary don't have a package price, because crew size, shoot days and post-production scope vary more than anything else in a quote. Brand and commercial work starts from a package price, but scope moves it: two brand films with identical briefs can be £4,000 apart on post alone. The smallest brand film we've delivered was £2,500.
Extras
| Same-day photo delivery | +£400 |
| Same-day video delivery | £400 to £1,500+ |
| On-site editor, cutting during the eventRecap, vertical clips and edited photos by the end of each day | from £1,200 per day |
| Rush edit, delivered within 48 hours | +£400 |
| Overnight edit, delivered by morning | from +£900 |
| Second operator, event support | £1,100 per day |
| Second operator, full filming day | £1,400 per day |
| Additional photographer | £700 per day |
| Additional revision round beyond the two included | £100 to £200 |
Where same-day video lands in that range depends on how much footage there is, how many cameras were running, and how finished it has to be. A single-camera highlights cut sits at the bottom. An editor sitting in the venue cutting while the event runs sits at the top. Same-day has to be planned before the shoot, because it means holding an editor available.
Anything longer than 60 seconds, interviews and the final post-show film are not same-day. They go into the edit after the event.
Travel. Travel outside London is calculated by us and included in your quote, so there is nothing to add later. We work across the UK and Europe with our own crew, never local subcontractors.
Fashion, beauty and product
Every job carries pre-production, a full crew and a usage licence, so it isn't sold as a day rate.
At least 14 days from confirmed brief to shoot day, for casting, the right studio, stylist pulls and crew. Under 14 days adds 25% to the production fee. Under 7 days adds 50%, subject to crew availability.
Fashion and beauty include your own web and social, 12 months, UK. Product includes a 2-year digital licence. Paid advertising, print, out-of-home and retail are licensed separately: +50% of the creative fee per medium, +100% for a 3-year term.
14 working days for product and beauty, because every image is its own retouch. Rush delivery in 7 working days is +30% of the post-production fee. There is no 48-hour option on this work.
Models, studio, wardrobe, props, catering, location fees, product samples and specialist rigs. Raw files are not included on this work. Everything at cost is confirmed in writing before booking.
Included
Not add-ons. Not negotiable. In the number.
Violet or Vitalii on most of them. On set for larger shoots, remotely for smaller ones.
And a one-week feedback window.
Public liability insurance, held separately by each of our lead operators.
Material backed up to drives immediately after the shoot, before anyone leaves.
Sony across the crew on event work, so a dead battery or a failed card doesn't stop the shoot.
Inside 5 working days for photography and 7 for video. Product and beauty retouching, 14.
Raw footage and photos, included on event work booked in 2026. Not included on fashion, beauty, e-commerce and product work.
On event and corporate work, everything we deliver is yours for your own marketing, web, social, press and internal communications, worldwide, with no time limit. Paid advertising, broadcast and resale are quoted separately.
Pricing factors
What We Stream charges is on this page. What video production costs across London, including what other companies charge and why quotes for identical briefs differ by thousands, is in our London video production costs 2026 guide.
Case studies
One filming day, two-person crew. Founder interview, client testimonials, office b-roll. It premiered at their anniversary event and went live on LinkedIn. The same brief with same-day delivery would have been £3,900.
Seven executive interviews from one shoot day, 2025, for a corporate brand series: CEO Nick Chinn on the company's direction after its reorganisation, and leadership on governance, compliance and reporting. Producer, two camera operators, gaffer and sound engineer on set.
Portrait day. Portable studio built on site, three hours, 112 finished photos: LinkedIn headshots for the whole team and website portraits of the three founders, from one setup.
Fit
We're not the cheapest quote you'll get and we're not trying to be.
If you need someone running between property listings turning around cheap walkthroughs, that isn't us. If you want one person with a camera to stand at the back of a conference and send you the files, a freelancer will do that for less and it will be fine.
What you're paying for here is a producer who has already dealt with the problem before you noticed it, a crew carrying interchangeable kit so a failure on the day isn't your problem, and four years without a missed deadline. On an internal training video that's overkill. On a product launch that happens once, it's the whole point.
Booking
Tell us the date, the location and what the content has to do. You get a quote within 24 hours.
50% to hold the date. Balance on delivery, payable within 14 days.
The rate card isn't negotiable. The scope is.
| Cancelled more than 28 days before the first shoot date | Deposit only |
| Cancelled 7 to 28 days beforeDeposit applied against it | 75% of the fee |
| Cancelled under 7 days before, or a no-show | 100% of the fee |
Where travel or accommodation has already been booked on your behalf, any non-refundable costs already incurred are payable on top. Cancellation has to be in writing to take effect. These fees reflect the genuine pre-estimated loss of revenue from holding the dates and any pre-production costs already incurred.
Questions
With We Stream, £300 an hour with a two-hour minimum, £1,200 for a half day of up to 4 hours, and £2,000 for a full day of up to 10 hours with one operator, filming only. A second operator is £1,100 a day for event support or £1,400 as a full second camera. One person covering both photo and video is £2,500 a day. Editing is priced separately, from £500. Across London, a solo freelance videographer runs £650 to £1,000 a day and production companies £1,200 to £3,500. The difference is usually a producer, insurance and backup kit.
£300 an hour, £1,000 for a half day of up to 4 hours, £2,200 for a full day of up to 10 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 delivery is +£400.
No. Filming and editing are quoted separately, because edit cost depends on how much footage there is and how finished the output needs to be. A highlight film starts at £500. A rush edit delivered within 48 hours is +£400, and an overnight edit delivered by morning is from +£900.
+£400 on photography. £400 to £1,500+ on video, depending on footage volume, camera count and how finished the output needs to be. It has to be planned in advance, because it means holding an editor available.
5 working days for photography, 7 working days for video. Most clients book faster than that, and the average video turnaround across our bookings is 72 hours. Product and beauty retouching takes 14 working days.
Event work is charged by the hour or by the day, and most services also have filmed and edited packages with a from price. Brand video starts at £2,500 and advertising-level shoots at £8,500 a shoot day, then move with the brief. Documentary and iGaming trade shows are quoted per project, because crew size and post-production scope drive the cost more than time on location does.
The rate card isn't. The scope is. If a number doesn't work, the useful conversation is about what the content actually has to do, because that's usually where the saving is.
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.
On event and corporate work, anything that's yours: marketing, web, social, press, internal communications. Worldwide, no time limit, and raw files come with delivery on event work booked in 2026. Paid advertising, broadcast and resale are quoted separately. Fashion, beauty and product work carries its own licence: web and social for 12 months in the UK, or a 2-year digital licence for product, with other media licensed separately.
At least 14 days from confirmed brief to shoot day, because casting, the studio, styling and crew all need it. Under 14 days adds 25% to the production fee, and under 7 days adds 50%, subject to crew availability.
50% to hold the date, balance on delivery 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%.
