How much does wedding photography and videography cost in Ireland?

For a typical wedding, you can expect to pay between €1,500 and €3,000 for a photography package covering most of the day, and an additional €1,500 to €3,000 for a separate videography package. These prices reflect the skill, equipment, editing time, and travel involved.

Factors that push prices higher include extended coverage hours (e.g., from morning preparations to late-night dancing), the inclusion of a second shooter or drone footage, and the delivery of a high volume of edited images or a cinematic-style wedding film. Conversely, opting for shorter coverage, fewer deliverables, or booking during the off-peak season (typically November to March) can reduce costs.

Most comprehensive packages will include a set number of hours of coverage, a certain number of edited digital images, and sometimes a highlight reel for videography. What's often excluded are physical albums, prints, extra editing requests, or travel expenses for destination weddings outside of Ireland.

When comparing quotes, look beyond the headline price. Ensure you understand exactly what's included in terms of hours, number of edited images, video length and style, and the turnaround time for receiving your final products. Ask to see full galleries and sample films from recent weddings to gauge the quality and style.

For commercial work, pricing is highly project-dependent. A simple product photoshoot might start at €500, while a day of corporate event coverage with extensive editing could range from €1,000 to €3,000 or more, depending on the scope and usage rights required.
