In short: a wedding photographer in Spain typically charges about €1,300 to €1,850 for up to ten hours of photography, according to the 2026 FdB survey of Spanish photographers and the 2025 Fearless Photographers survey. Our own prices are public: photography from €1,390 for 5 hours up to €2,190 for a full day, film priced the same, and photo plus film from €2,780. We charge no extra travel fees anywhere in Spain.
As of November 2026, these are the numbers we could verify. The surveys are informal, and market averages describe local weddings, so island and destination prices are usually higher. What changes often: the year of the survey, the hours in a basic package and whether the price includes IVA (Spanish VAT).
Wedding photographer prices in Spain: what the market charges
Two sources are worth reading, and they agree more than they differ.
- The Spanish directory fotografos-de-boda.net (article of 25 May 2026) gives a national average of €1,300 to €1,700 for a ten-hour photo report with digital delivery. By region: Catalonia about €1,500, Andalusia €1,300 to €1,600, Madrid €1,400 to €1,800, the Basque Country €1,400 to €1,800, Valencian Community €1,200 to €1,700 and Extremadura €1,100 to €1,300. It draws on a market survey of over 400 of its registered photographers and some internal data. It does not say whether IVA is included.
- The annual Fearless Photographers survey (2025) puts Spain at €1,850 for a basic package of up to 10 hours, 600 to 1,000 images and local taxes, from 35 photographers. In the same survey Italy is €2,200, France €2,300, Portugal €2,250, Greece €1,800 and Ireland €2,600. The site says its data is unverified and informal. The earlier 2023 survey gave the same €1,850 for Spain, defined there as weekend weddings of 8 hours or more, and about €850 for small weekday weddings of around 4 to 5 hours.
Both describe the local market. Destination dates, such as a May to October Saturday on Mallorca, are in demand everywhere, so ask each photographer for a written quote for your date.
compare packages by hours and deliverables, not by the headline price. A €1,500 package of 10 hours with 600 images and a €1,990 package of 8 hours with more edited photos per hour are different products.
Andy & Leesha · Mallorca · see the full wedding →What our coverage costs: photo, film or both
Photo and film are priced the same, each on its own, and photo plus film is the plain sum. The prices page has the same figures, plus a calculator.
| Coverage | Photo or film | Photo + film |
|---|---|---|
| 5 hours | €1,390 | €2,780 |
| 6 hours | €1,590 | €3,180 |
| 7 hours | €1,790 | €3,580 |
| 8 hours | €1,990 | €3,980 |
| Full day, no time limit | €2,190 | €4,380 |
Per hour, that is €278 at 5 hours, €265 at 6, €256 at 7 and €249 at 8 (our arithmetic: price divided by hours). A full day has no hour limit and gives 500 to 1,000 edited photos; hourly coverage gives 50+ edited photos per hour. Compare that with the survey packages of up to 10 hours and 600 to 1,000 images above. See all details at our prices page.
Market against ours, side by side
| Item | Market (source) | Ours |
|---|---|---|
| Basic package | Up to 10 hours, 600 to 1,000 images, €1,850 (Fearless 2025) | 8 hours, €1,990; full day €2,190 |
| Second photographer | Adds €250 to €500 (FdB 2026) | Not part of our published packages |
| Film | €600 to €2,000 (CuantoMeCuesta, April 2026) | €1,390 to €2,190 |
| Travel | Often extra | No extra travel fees |
The market figures are for photography averaged across all kinds of weddings in Spain, including weekday weddings and local ones. Ours is a destination price with the same rate in every region. A fair comparison is hours, edited photos and what is excluded, not the headline number.
Mallorca, Ibiza and the rest of Spain
We found no island-specific survey, so any island price you see is one business’s rate. For the Mallorca wedding photographer cost, Ibiza wedding photographer cost and elopement photography in Ibiza, the numbers above hold: our prices are the same in every region, with no extra travel fees. The regional gaps in the market come from demand. A planner’s guide, the Weddings Abroad Guide, estimates photography at €1,800 to €3,500 and videography at €1,500 to €3,000 in its 60-guest wedding budget, and Wezoree, a vendor community, puts full-day photo and video in Ibiza at $4,000 to $10,000 in its Ibiza cost guide. Both describe their own market.
We document weddings in Mallorca, among them Jack and Jasmine, Christopher and Harriet and Nacho and Bea, and on the Costa Brava and in Málaga. Our Spain wedding photographer page shows the work.
Wedding videographer cost in Spain
Video prices in Spain are lower in the surveys we found than in destination planner guides. Bodas.net, the Spanish wedding portal, lists the average video price at €1,200 in its 2023 cost book, and CuantoMeCuesta (April 2026) gives €600 to €2,000: a three to five minute highlight from €600 and a full-day edit at €1,000 to €2,000. These are commercial sources, so they are indications. Our film is priced like our photography: €1,390 for 5 hours up to €2,190 for a full day, delivered in about a month. For details, read our Spain wedding videography pricing guide and the Spain videographer page.
Andy & Leesha · Mallorca · see the full wedding →What changes the price, and what is included
- Hours. The biggest driver. Our price rises by €200 for each extra hour from 5 to 8.
- A second photographer. The FdB survey puts this at €250 to €500 on average in Spain.
- Albums. FdB: €300 to €900, up to €2,500 with premium options.
- Season and day. Saturdays in May to October book first.
- Film. Adds the price of the film coverage.
- Travel. Many photographers add travel and accommodation outside their home area. We charge no extra travel fees.
Taxes also matter. The Fearless figures include local taxes; the FdB article does not say whether its prices include IVA. Photography is taxed at the general 21% IVA rate under the Spanish VAT law, so ask whether each quote includes it before you compare two. A public price list, where a photographer publishes one, saves time, but ask what the list leaves out, such as a second shooter, travel, albums and film. Our own list is on the prices page and has no hidden travel line.
What is normally included: the coverage hours, editing and an online gallery. What is often extra: extended coverage, a second photographer, engagement or pre-wedding sessions, albums and prints, and in the 2023 notes also digital files and travel beyond the local area, according to the Fearless survey notes. Ask for the list in writing.
How many hours of coverage does a destination wedding need?
As a photographer’s guide: 5 hours covers ceremony, portraits, family photos and dinner starts; 6 to 7 hours adds the preparations or the first dance; 8 hours covers most of a summer evening; a full day takes you from the morning to the last dance. Family photos usually take 30 to 45 minutes, and dinner in Spain can start late, so a short package that ends early can miss the party. Our guide How many hours of wedding photography do you need works through it by timeline, and the wedding day timeline for the best light shows how the hours fall around sunset.
A worked example of how the hours fall. Take a 50-guest wedding with a 6 pm ceremony at a finca. Five hours from 4 pm to 9 pm would cover the last preparations, ceremony, family photos, portraits and the start of dinner, and miss the speeches and first dance. Seven hours from 4 pm to 11 pm adds the speeches and first dance. A full day makes sense if you want the morning preparations and the party after midnight, and it is the only package with no time limit. If you are unsure, the plain rule is to choose the hours to match the moments you would hate to miss, then book the shortest package that includes them. You can change it later.
Deposit, payment and when to book
A 20% deposit holds the date. You can book any package and change it later if your plans change; what matters is locking the date. The sneak peek comes within days, the gallery in 3 weeks and the film in about a month. Book 9 to 12 months ahead for May to October, earlier for the islands, because good dates go first. Our planning timeline gives the whole order.
Two practical notes on the booking itself. First, the date is the only thing that cannot be recovered: a photographer who is free on your Saturday in June may not be free in a month, while album and film choices can wait. Second, keep the contract’s wording on what happens if the date moves, and ask whether the deposit transfers to a new date. We handle this by letting you change the package after booking while the date stays locked.
