If you’ve come to this, you’re probably curious about Malta wedding photographer prices. Before we discuss Malta’s 2024/2025 prices, I’ll cover a few important factors.
Photography is unregulated. Any camera owner can become a photographer. This is not ideal because it does not safeguard clients who are seeking a photographer without knowing what to expect or the typical photographic quality. Any real photographer, especially a wedding photographer, has many costs, as listed below:
A decent photographer’s costs
Local and cloud storage
Serious photographers care about how they save their photographs. We’ll never lose photos. Unfortunately, storage space is expensive, and hard drives can fail, thus redundant storage is necessary! For protection, we back up our photos on the cloud and a mirrored NAS!
Camera and staff backups
Unfortunately, not all cameras use dual cards. We wouldn’t take wedding photos without a dual SD card system since SD cards might corrupt, and we wouldn’t want to tell our bride that her photos are gone! we back up our cameras and have learnt how crucial it is to have reliable field connections to rely on in an emergency.
Experience
As you know, anyone with a camera can call himself a photographer, but how many weddings have we photographed? Experience costs. Years ago, we had to learn wedding flow, what to photograph, and how to shoot each moment, thus my charges were inexpensive. This experience has taught us what our couples require and how to generate the best photographs in any situation.
Marketing
Even if we were the world’s best photographers, no one would know about us without a solid website and advertising. Getting known in the industry so people can find you cost money.
Memberships/training
Wedding photographers should always grow. He must adapt, learn new techniques, and compare himself to other photographers. With appropriate vision, the best equipment is pointless.
Camera and gear upgrades
Keeping up with equipment updates is also part of being a great wedding photographer! Flashes, backpacks, cleaning kits, and other accessories must be updated along with camera models and editing computer systems. We buy a pair of stylish but comfy wedding shoes every year.
Software cost
Software and subscriptions for editing photographs cost money!
2024–2025 market prices
After explaining, We may give a more exact price range. As mentioned, photographer prices vary widely for many reasons. If the wedding photographer hasn’t examined some of the above concerns, he’s putting you at danger, even if his fee is lower than ours.
According to our market study, a “decent” wedding photographer for 2022–2023 weddings costs 1500–3000 euros a wedding, depending on the number of hours of coverage and the photographer. Depending on their popularity and work, wedding photographers charge different prices. Albums and wall art are not included in these prices.
Hidden Costs
Some photographers may hide additional expenses. Check for these things.
Copyright costs
Not all Malta photographers will give you full copyright of your wedding images. Some watermark their photographs with their logo or ask you to print them from their shop to show copyright. We’ll provide you with a copy of the edited photographs to print from whomever you choose.
Photographer overtime
Wedding photography expenses should include all time spent at the wedding. No overtime, assistance, or agreed-upon charges. We don’t charge for overtime
Laziness’ cost
Some photographers will take your wedding moments lightly and lose your treasured and unique moments. A good wedding photographer eliminates this hidden cost.
Conclusion
It’s important to note that when hiring a wedding photographer, it’s crucial to consider not just the cost but also the quality of their work and their level of experience. It’s also advisable to book a photographer well in advance, as the best ones tend to get booked up quickly, especially during peak wedding season.
