5 Best Photographers in Liverpool Who Are Almost Always Fully Booked
A friend of mine thought he’d save a few bucks by asking his cousin to take photos at his family reunion. Big mistake—not only did his cousin end up missing half the shots, but half the ones he did take were blurry or cropped weirdly.
Afterwards, my friend told me, “I should’ve just hired a pro.”
He’s right—you don’t realize how valuable a professional photographer is until you see how beautifully they capture people, moments, and details that you’d miss.
That’s why we’ve put together this list of Liverpool’s best photographers, legends in their own right, who know exactly how to bring out the best in every shot.
How much do photographers charge in Liverpool?
For a portrait or family session in Liverpool, expect to pay around £100 to £250, with more established pros often charging higher rates. Commercial or event photographers may charge hourly rates between £50 to £150.
Wedding photography packages in Liverpool typically range from £500 to over £2,000.
The cost depends on the coverage, number of edited photos, and additional options like albums or second shooters.
1. Keyhole Studios
Business Address: 47A Dinas Ln, Huyton

Business Hours:

Keyhole Studios has been run by husband and wife team Kris and Eug since 2008. They started as a family photo studio in a department store and have since grown into a team that’s captured stunning weddings and events around the world.
From intimate ceremonies in Liverpool to posh celebrity weddings in Monte Carlo, they’ve pretty much seen it all.
They offer combined wedding photography and video packages—we think this can be a huge perk if you’re looking for a streamlined approach.
Plus, there are flexible options within their packages—like full-day coverage, an extra videographer or photographer, and keepsakes like video books or print boxes.
Just keep in mind that their focus is largely on wedding photography and videography—if that’s what you’re after, you’re in very good hands with these two!
The natural photos of our friends and families were amazing
“Eugene photographed our wedding day for us in March and we could not be happier with the whole experience! Her attention to detail was just incredible, we feel like she captured our relationship perfectly in the pictures – the natural photos of our friends and families were amazing and something we will cherish forever. Thank you so much.”

Captured all of our guests with great ‘unstaged’ images
“To anyone looking for wedding photographers/videographers stop your search here!! The best team with bags of experience which showed on the day… We had our best day all of which was captured perfectly by Eug & Kris, they captured all of our guests with great ‘unstaged’ images which we loved looking back on as this is a huge part of our day we didn’t see! I can’t thank them enough for there guidance even when we thought we had enough pics they pursued excellence and asked for “just a couple more.”

His shop offers both in-studio and on-location shoots, giving you loads of options. He’s especially brilliant at studio-lit and natural headshots—perfect for actors, models, presenters, and performers.
But that’s not all! He covers a range of other photography gigs too, including portraits, weddings, commercial shoots, ecommerce snaps, and event photography.

L1 Photography is run by Dan—a photographer, actor, husband, and proud dad. While he’s not really known for family portraits, his focus on weddings and headshots more than makes up for it.
For weddings, he’s got the whole day covered for £1800—from getting ready to the first dance. But if you only need a few hours, he’s happy to whip up a bespoke package tailored to your needs and budget.
As an actor himself, he’s bang on for headshots—he knows what it’s like to be in front of the camera, so he’ll put you right at ease. Post-shoot, you’ll have 150-200 cracking shots to browse via a private link that sticks around for two years.
If you’re a bit skint, you can share a headshot session with a mate and the price drops from £200 to £175 each.
Dan’s also got corporate shots sorted, capturing polished and professional images.
Amazing value for money

DreamShot Photography is run by Irina, who swapped her career as a general nurse for a full-time photographer gig after her daughter was born. She’s been snapping precious baby moments ever since.
Her speciality, newborn and baby photography, lasts up to three hours. And with bronze, silver, and gold packages on offer, there’s a range to suit different tastes and budgets.
For family photography, you can pick between outdoor or studio shoots. No rushed job here—she’ll have a good chinwag to understand what you’re after so that your family portraits come out looking spot on.
Maternity shoots are also on the menu. And if you’ve got a little one’s first birthday to celebrate, Irina’s cake smash sessions are a fun way to capture the joy (and mess!).
Note that this studio isn’t really your go-to for commercial or corporate snaps.
She really cares about her clients/the babies
“So glad we went to Irina to get our baby girl’s newborn pictures, she made us feel relaxed from the moment we walked in, she was great with our little one knowing how to calm her down & managing to take some gorgeous pictures in the short space of time between dummy out & cries restarting! We had a lovely day & are really pleased with the final images. You can tell she really cares about her clients/the babies & was super knowledgeable, thank you so much xx.”
