Planning a wedding in Dublin? One of the most common questions couples ask is: how much does a Dublin wedding photographer cost?
Whether you’re hosting a city celebration or a castle wedding nearby, knowing what to expect can help you plan smarter. In this guide, I’ll walk you through real 2025 prices, what’s usually included in packages, and how to find a photographer who fits your style and budget.
As a Dublin Wedding Photographer, I’ve captured everything from intimate elopements to elegant full-day events – and I’ll help you understand the numbers behind the lens.
Average Wedding Photography Prices in Dublin
- Budget Photographers: From €900 to €1,400
Ideal for registry weddings, micro ceremonies, or partial-day coverage. These packages often include limited hours and basic image delivery. - Mid-Range Photographers: From €1,500 to €2,800
This is the most common range for full-day coverage with a professional photographer. You’ll usually get an online gallery, hundreds of edited images, and often an engagement session. - Premium & Luxury Photographers: From €3,000 to €5,500
These packages typically include full-day coverage, premium albums, a second shooter, and extensive post-processing. You’re not just paying for coverage – you’re investing in an artist who will tell your story in depth.
On average, couples in Dublin spend around €2,300–€2,600 for full wedding day coverage.
Prices can also vary depending on whether you’re booking a Destination Wedding Photographer or someone local. As a photographer who often works with couples from abroad, I offer flexible packages tailored to travel schedules and multi-day events.
What’s Included in a Typical Photography Package
Understanding what’s actually included in a wedding photography package can make all the difference when comparing prices. While every photographer offers slightly different options, here’s what most couples in Dublin can expect:
✅ Standard Full-Day Packages Usually Include:
- Coverage from morning preparations to the first dance
- 500–800 edited images in high resolution, ready for download
- Online gallery to share with family and friends
- Sneak peek photos within a few days of the wedding
- Printing rights for personal use
🔄 Optional Add-Ons:
- Second photographer – for more angles and guest reactions
- Luxury wedding albums – handcrafted and custom-designed
- Engagement or pre-wedding session
- Drone photography (weather and venue permitting)
- Rush delivery (photos delivered faster than standard timeframe)
As a Documentary Wedding Photographer, I focus on real, unscripted moments. My packages are designed for couples who want honest, artistic storytelling — whether it’s a small elopement or a full-scale celebration at a Dublin venue or nearby castle.
Why Dublin Prices Are Different from Other Locations
🌆 Urban Demand & High Competition
Dublin is Ireland’s busiest wedding market, with dozens of luxury venues, stylish city weddings, and high demand for experienced professionals. This naturally increases pricing, especially during peak season.
🏰 Prestigious Venues and Castles Nearby
From urban venues like The Dean or Fallon & Byrne, to nearby castles like Luttrellstown, Cloughan Castle, or even Cabra Castle, photographers working in Dublin often cater to high-end weddings. These events require preparation, insurance, and a level of polish that’s reflected in the pricing.
✈️ Destination Weddings & International Couples
Many couples flying in from the US or UK choose Dublin for its accessibility and romantic atmosphere. Photographers who specialize in Destination Weddings often include travel consulting, flexible timelines, and multi-day coverage — all of which influence final pricing.
As a Destination Wedding Photographer, I frequently work with international couples looking for candid, artful, and stress-free documentation of their day.
Luxury vs Budget – What’s the Difference in 2025?
Choosing between a budget and a luxury wedding photographer in Dublin isn’t just about the price tag — it’s about the experience, approach, and results.
💼 Budget Photographer (Under €1,500):
- Often works solo, with limited equipment
- Basic editing, little or no retouching
- Fewer hours of coverage
- Faster delivery, but with fewer creative touches
- Great for intimate city weddings, elopements or registry office ceremonies
👑 Luxury Photographer (€3,000+):
- Offers a curated experience from consultation to delivery
- Covers full-day events, from morning until night
- Includes artistic editing, storytelling, and sometimes film or drone work
- Often provides printed albums, second shooters, and sneak peek galleries
- Invests time in understanding your vision, venue, and vibe
As a Candid Wedding Photographer, I blend the elegance of fine art with the heart of documentary work. Whether you’re having a five-star city celebration or a garden ceremony in the Dublin countryside, I believe every couple deserves meaningful, timeless images.

🟦 FAQs for International Couples – USA & UK
FAQs for International Couples – Planning a Wedding in Dublin
Do you work with couples flying in from the US or UK?
Yes – most of my couples are planning destination weddings in Ireland, especially in Dublin and the surrounding castles. I regularly work with clients from the United States and the United Kingdom and offer flexible planning, video calls, and guidance throughout the process.
Can we book you without meeting in person?
Absolutely. I often connect with couples via Zoom or email throughout the planning process. Once your date is secured with a retainer, we’ll build your custom timeline together, no matter where you’re based.
What’s included in your Dublin wedding photography packages?
Most packages include full-day coverage, a curated online gallery, high-resolution downloads, sneak peeks, and storytelling-style editing. You can also add a second shooter, album design, or an engagement session.
How far in advance should we book a wedding photographer in Dublin?
I recommend booking 9–18 months in advance, especially if you’re planning a weekend or summer wedding. However, if your date is flexible or off-season, I may still have availability even closer to the day.
What happens if it rains on our wedding day?
Rain is part of the Irish charm! I always scout backup indoor spots and monitor the forecast to find dry windows. Some of the most magical photos happen in soft Irish mist or dramatic skies – we’ll make the most of any weather.
Can you help us plan our wedding day timeline?
Yes! I help all my couples build a photography-friendly timeline to ensure everything flows naturally and we don’t miss any key moments. We’ll factor in travel, light, venue logistics, and your priorities.

Yes – many couples flying in for a wedding also book a short engagement session in Dublin city, the coast, or nearby gardens. It’s a relaxed way to get comfortable before the big day.

All contracts are signed digitally via secure links, with no need to print or scan anything. Everything is designed to be stress-free for international clients.
