Planning your wedding is exciting, but it can also be a bit stressful. When choosing a wedding photographer, you want someone who can capture your day beautifully. But what about the cost? Whether you’re looking for affordable photographers or a more premium option, it’s important to understand what you’re paying for.
Irish wedding photographers
On average, wedding photographers in Ireland charge between €2,000 and €4,000. You may find some charging as little as €500, but remember the old saying: “You get what you pay for.” After your big day, your photos will be one of the only things left to remind you of it. Make sure they’re as special as your day was. lick this link to see my affordable prices, which are better than those quoted in this article.

Wedding photography prices depend on experience and the services offered. My rate for weddings in Munster is €1,950, which includes full-day coverage and a wedding album. I charge extra for travel outside Munster. Is €1,950 too much? I believe it’s fair for the service I provide—and most of my clients agree!
Before booking your photographer, consider these questions:
How important are your photos to you? Do you want more formal shots or a candid, relaxed style?
Are you okay with a less experienced photographer? They might be cheaper but may not have the professional polish you’re looking for.
What’s your preferred photography style? Do you like traditional portraits or natural, documentary-style photography?
How much are you willing to spend? Your budget will guide your choice.
The cost includes more than just taking photos. Here’s why:
Pre-wedding shoots: Many photographers offer engagement sessions to help you get comfortable in front of the camera.
Bridal party photos: Capturing everyone in the bridal party takes planning and coordination.
High-quality equipment: Photographers use expensive cameras, lenses, and editing tools to create stunning images.
Photo editing: After your wedding, photographers spend time editing each shot to perfection.
Travel costs: If your wedding is far from where your photographer is based, travel fees may be added.

When reviewing portfolios, ask yourself: Can I picture myself in these photos? Do you feel connected to the style? Trust your instincts—if the photographer’s work resonates with you, they’re worth considering.
If your dream photographer is a bit out of budget, don’t worry! There are ways to save:
Pre-wedding photoshoot: Opt for a smaller package that might exclude extras like an engagement shoot or reduce the hours on the wedding day.
Shorter photo sessions: Talk to your photographer about a custom package that covers only the parts of the day that are most important to you.
Your photographer will be with you throughout the day. You’ll spend more time with them than almost anyone else! So, it’s important to find someone whose personality clicks with yours. They’ll be there for intimate moments like your pre-wedding shoot, the drinks reception, and your first dance.
