Your Ibiza Wedding Photographer Cost Explained.
Your Ibiza Wedding Photography should be like you. It should reflect your personality and be highly individual, tailor-made to suit you both. For the best ‘full day’ coverage, the average cost of a wedding photographer in Ibiza is between 1200-2500e. Those prices seem very far apart, but they depend on a lot of factors.
In this post I’m going to explain all the elements which affect the price of Ibiza wedding photography and what you should consider before you book.
Ibiza Wedding Photographer Cost – The Factors Which Affect Your Price
- Photographers Experience
- Location(s)
- Size of Group
- Timeline
- Number of Photos & Post Production Services
Photographers Experience
I’ve worked at hundreds of Ibiza Weddings, both as a photographer and as a planner. I’ve seen what can happen if a photographer doesn’t have much experience, specifically Ibiza experience. The best photographer for your Ibiza Wedding will have a connection with the island. They will have made their home here and will dedicate themselves to giving you their best. Also, very importantly, they will know where all the venues are and will know how long it takes to get to them. This may sound like a minor point, but I’ve been there when a wedding has had to start late because a photographer had got lost. This can ruin your timings and ultimately your day. These photographers may have higher prices, but you can rest easy knowing you’ve booked the best.
A quick glance at your photographer’s Instagram and other socials will show where their heart lays. If you see lots of weddings in all sorts of destinations, then are you really getting someone who loves Ibiza as much as you do?
Location(s)
Are you in 1 location for the whole day? Or do you need your photographer to move around? If you are both getting ready in different places, you may also need another photographer to cover this, which could mean adding on another 40-50% to the total price.
Size of Group
If you have a lot of guests, then you will definitely need 2 photographers. The second shooter will usually stay until you’re seated for the meal, but it can be longer. Enquire with your photographer about the cost of this should you need it. Personally, I think couples most enjoy their weddings when they have between 30-60 guests. This means you’ll have enough time to spend with everyone without it all becoming a bit much and you’re guaranteed a wonderful atmosphere throughout.
Time
How long you would like your wedding photographer to spend with you will greatly affect your pricing. Usually photographers offer a minimum option which is around 4 hours. This will then go up to around 8 hours and will include bridal prep as well as all the elements of the wedding day itself. Ibiza Wedding Photographers usually finish just after the first dance. They’ll make sure they have a good coverage of the start of the party before leaving you all to enjoy yourselves free of lenses!
Number of Photos and Post Production Services
I love to have the freedom to take as many photos as a wedding day allows. Your wedding photography should tell a story and represent perfectly how the day was for you. There’ll also be lots of moments that you might have missed with the whirl of it all, so it’s lovely to receive your images and see each part perfectly documented. If you’ve booked a wedding with the photographer included, check very carefully that they’re not limited to a certain number of photos. Whilst this may be the most economical option, it’s not always the best. I don’t limit couples on the amount of photos they’ll receive, but some photographers do and then you may find yourselves paying for extra images.
So now you’ve found out exactly what will affect your Ibiza Wedding Photographer Cost.
Here’s what to expect if you book with me
Years of Ibiza Wedding Love
I have dedicated my life here to providing friendly and relaxed wedding photography to hundreds of couples. Every wedding has been different and I’ve enjoyed every one! I’ll be an unobtrusive part of your day, there to cover everything and make sure all those special moments don’t go unnoticed.
Experience and Customer Care
I’ve been an Ibiza Wedding Photographer for over 10 years. In that time I’ve seen where all the best venues are and found out who all the best Ibiza suppliers are. A personal touch is so important for me, so you’ll always be able to get in contact directly and it will be me who will be the photographer at your wedding. I never take 2 jobs on the same day and I limit my summer weddings to a certain number.
The Complete Edit
For Ibiza Wedding Photography lasting around 8 hours you can expect to receive 600-700 edited images. This means I have given each photo correction and enhancement which suits my existing style. The final choice of edited images is mine and they will be the photos which show each moment at its best. All will be available to you in original large format free from watermarks.
Online Galleries
I offer all my couples 2 online galleries within 30 days of your wedding. These are both completely open and can be freely shared and downloaded. 1 gallery contains your ‘high res’ images. These are the ones you will use for printing or enlarging. The second gallery is a ‘low res’ version. This one is perfect for sharing via Whatsapp or uploading to your social media.
I also provide a ‘quick edit’ which totals around 20 photos. This is available within 3 days of the wedding and is sized ready to be shared and used for your socials.
No Extra Charges (should things run over)
Most Ibiza Photographer packages will be based on time, but what happens if things run over? I have known some photographers to charge for more time on the spot, an extra hour or part of, but I don’t like to do this. Your wedding shouldn’t make you feel rushed, you shouldn’t have to run over and cut the cake so as to get the first dance covered in your photography! So I don’t charge for run overs. If your day goes over by up to an hour that’s included in your original price.
To Finish…
Thanks so much for stopping by! This post has outlined what, in my opinion are the most important factors that influence the price of an Ibiza Wedding Photographer. There are lots more but these will depend upon your own day and what other things you have booked.
