What changes the price of a wedding photographer abroad
- Days of coverage. A single day costs less than a weekend with a welcome dinner and a farewell brunch.
- Team size. Two photographers capture the ceremony, the preparations and the guests at the same time.
- Film. A film adds a dedicated filmmaker, audio recording and post-production.
- Travel and logistics. Remote locations, islands and lakes need more planning. We include travel within Europe, but always ask what is included.
- Permissions. Drone flights and some locations need local permits. Your photographer should know the rules of the country you marry in.
Questions to ask before you book anyone
- Is travel included, or billed separately?
- How many photographers will be there, and for how many hours?
- When will I receive the gallery, and how many edited images are included?
- What happens if the weather changes, or the timeline moves?
- Have you worked at my venue or in my region before?
