How much does a photographer cost for a destination wedding? The Destination package starts at €8,000, travel included — what's actually covered, and how travel is priced depending on the destination.

The package

Destination: from €8,000, travel included

The Destination package starts at €8,000 and covers 2 full days (2× 12 hours): getting ready, ceremony, reception, with an assistant and a second photographer, drone, 600 delivered photos, an ultra premium album (60 views) and a 10-to-15-minute travel film. Travel is included in this starting amount.

  • 2 full days (2× 12h) rather than a single day.
  • Assistant + second photographer included, as with the Luxe package.
  • 600 photos + ultra premium album (60 views) + travel film 10-15 min.

"From €8,000": the exact amount depends on the destination (see below).

What "travel included" actually means

Travel isn't an add-on negotiated case by case: it follows a fixed zone-based scale, added to the base amount depending on the destination.

  • Nearby Europe (Belgium, Spain, Italy, UK…): €600.
  • Rest of Europe (Poland, Greece, Nordic countries…): €750.
  • North America, Caribbean, Middle East: €1,300 to €1,500.
  • Asia, South America: €1,800 to €1,900.
  • Oceania: €2,400, the highest zone.
  • French overseas territories (Martinique, Guadeloupe…): €1,100 to €2,200 depending on the zone.

Why this budget

What explains the gap with a local wedding

A destination wedding involves 2 full days on site rather than a few hours, a dedicated second professional, and a whole separate travel logistics — which explains the gap with the Luxe package (€2,800, on site in Paris).
