Q&A For Your Belgium Elopement Regarding Photographers
We put together some of the top questions we get from couples just like you when they are planning their elopement.
How Much Does a Belgium Elopement Photographer Cost?
The cost of photographers in Belgium depends on what you want and what they offer in their photography packages. In Belgium, you’ll find photographers charging from €1900 – €8500 for elopement coverage. You want to consider how many hours the photographer will be working with you, travel expenses, and how many locations you’ll be exploring (just to name a few to consider). The more you want to cover during your adventure, the higher the price.
Here are some examples:
- Commitment ceremony photos at small wedding venue in Belgium and portraits after the ceremony – €1900
- Elopement ceremony with loved ones plus portraits at 2 additional locations near the ceremony – €3500
- Elopement ceremony in Hoge Kempen National Park with portraits after at multiple locations all day (from dusk to dawn). – €8500
Keep in mind these are estimates and every photographer has their prices set.
Why are Elopement Photographers so Expensive and What’s Included in the Fee?
Elopement photographers tend to include additional services built into their elopement packages. Unlike a traditional wedding photographer, elopement photographers are more hands-on when it comes to planning. Consider asking your potential photographer, “What’s included in your Belgium elopement package?”
Here are some services that may be built into their package:
- Travel expenses
- Location scouting
- Timeline planning
- Permit and leave no trace guidance
- Set up and take down assistance for decorations
- Officiant and witness protocol for marriage license requirements, especially for out-of-country travelers
- Multi-day elopement adventure
- Inclusive packages with all vendors you’ll need
- Guidance for travel and accommodations
- Wedding albums
Keep in mind, that not all photographers will include everything in this list in their packages. Some of them might offer different tier options and some photographers may offer traditional photo coverage.
Do I Need More Than a Photographer for My Belgium Elopement?
This depends on YOU! We have had plenty of couples hire only a photographer (and videographer), and they had an amazing time.
With that being said, you can 100% outsource and hire more elopement vendors to help you. You don’t need to plan a traditional wedding to hire other vendor categories. You can do so because it’s your wedding day, and you want all those vendors to play a part in your big day.
Explore our elopement directory to team up with a vendor in a different category OR ask your designated Belgium photographer who they recommend.
