Hourly rate as the base: 75 EUR
Pricing & Licensing
Transparent pricing for weddings, reportage, and projects with real context.
The foundation is a clear hourly rate, paired with an honest calculation for coverage time, selection, editing, and travel. Weddings already have an interactive entry point.
I do not price through artificial image caps. I price through time, real effort, and a clear scope. If good images are made, they belong to the story.
All prices on this page are shown without VAT. For individual projects, the calculator is a guideline and the final offer is adjusted together around flow, location, and scope.
Core logic
A fair calculation should feel traceable, not artificially limited.
All prices shown without VAT
No artificial image caps for weddings and reportage
Editing, curation, and organisation are counted honestly
Weddings, tailored
Map out your day in more detail.
The calculator combines your on-site coverage with a fixed overhead, typical editing blocks for individual parts of the day, and travel costs. The result is a transparent estimate that often gets very close to a tailored solution.
Half dayselected
For many couples, this is the most balanced middle ground when the ceremony, groups, portraits, and the start of the celebration should all fit without making the day unnecessarily long.
13:00 to 19:00
You are currently planning with 6 h on site. This is the time frame for coverage, portraits, and everything in between.
Free ceremony
Individual, often more emotional and varied in its flow.
Around 60 people
More combinations, more coordination, more selection. The jump is intentionally not brutally linear, but it is very real.
Many, almost full highlights
Noticeably more real interactions and reactions should be kept.
45 min daytime + 15 min evening
More calm during the day plus a short evening section with stronger light.
1 photographer, just me
The clear, calm one-person setup. Good for days that should be covered closely without adding more people into the room.

Ceremony
Free ceremony
Match this choice to your actual ceremony. Depending on the format, pacing, image density, and editing effort shift noticeably.
More details
The focus stays on reportage, portraits, or other parts of the day. This module adds no dedicated editing block.
Often a fit for: Days without a classic ceremony or coverage that begins later.
More details
Registry ceremonies are often shorter and more tightly scheduled than other formats. Even then, there are enough moments and reactions to justify a dedicated editing block.
Often a fit for: Smaller coverages built around the ceremony, congratulations, and a short section afterwards.
More details
Free ceremonies often happen at the venue or outdoors and bring more movement, more content, and changing light. That increases the effort in curation, pacing, and look compared with a registry ceremony.
Often a fit for: Days with music, speeches, personal touches, and a little more room around the ceremony.
More details
Church ceremonies often run longer and include more distinct parts. Darker rooms, stronger contrast, and a denser editing block come with that.
Often a fit for: Classic church coverages with more liturgy, music, and a longer ceremony frame.
Group photos
Around 60 people
Group photos are often quick on site but later become denser through coordination, selection, and variants.
Congratulations
Many, almost full highlights
Congratulations often feel short, but they create a large number of small moments to curate later.
More details
This section is then simply covered as part of the reportage, without trying to preserve as many individual interactions as possible.
More details
On the day this often feels short, but it still creates many small situations later. If you mainly want the most important moments, the workload stays fairly compact.
Often a fit for: If a handful of strong interactions is enough and this part should not dominate the day.
More details
This is no longer just about a few key frames, but about much more of the actual sequence of hugs, reactions, and gestures. It is lively to photograph and much denser to curate later.
Often a fit for: If this section matters to you and you want much more of it preserved naturally.
More details
This option is for couples who do not see congratulations as a short in-between block, but as an important emotional part of the day. The ambition is high even though these moments should remain natural rather than directed like a shoot.
Often a fit for: If family, guests, and many individual reactions matter strongly to your memory of the day.
Couple session
45 min daytime + 15 min evening
The session sits inside your coverage time and should fit your day well. Many couples plan the main part before the ceremony or during the day and add a short second image moment in the evening.
More details
Portraits then happen more organically within the coverage, without carving out a dedicated session block. That can work very well if you want as few interruptions as possible.
More details
This is the clear standard option if you want a dedicated window for portraits. The session itself is part of your on-site time; this mainly reflects the later curation and editing.
Often a fit for: If you want a calm dedicated portrait session without adding an evening block.
More details
This is often the strongest middle ground: calm portraits during the day and a short second window with quieter evening light. It often creates the most atmospheric variety without making the session much longer overall.
Often a fit for: If you want strong portraits and your coverage runs into the evening.
My tip: If your schedule allows it, 10 to 15 minutes in the evening often create the biggest visual payoff.
More details
This is the most extensive portrait option. It creates more room for movement, motifs, and different moods and works especially well if portraits are a clear priority for you.
Often a fit for: If you want to give the session more room and your coverage is planned into the evening.
My tip: Most useful when portraits are a clear priority and you can make that time available without stress.

Alternative to the custom calculation
Packages will sit next to the calculator as fixed alternatives.
The packages are intentionally shown as direction, not yet as a fully locked pricing block. Structurally they point toward three clear modes: compact, near full-day, and full wedding day.
Registry office
A compact frame for the ceremony, congratulations, and a short section afterwards.
Reportage 8h
The realistic middle ground for many wedding days with ceremony, groups, couple session, and a solid reportage core.
Reportage 12h
For days that should be covered as fully as possible, from preparation into the evening.
The final package pricing will grow out of the same logic as the calculator: transparent hours, honest editing, and no artificial image limits.
Business, events, reportage
Outside weddings, the calculation becomes more open, not less clear.
With business portraits, event coverage, or documentary commissions, image usage often matters more than it does for private work. That means the conversation is not only about production time, but also about curation, delivery, purpose, and reach.
The core attitude stays the same: clear communication, traceable effort, and no hidden pricing tricks. This section stays intentionally lighter than the wedding block.
- possible as hourly work, half-day, day rate, or a custom offer
- fits portraits, teams, events, press work, reportage, and documentary formats
- licensing can be separated cleanly when needed
Licensing
Price and usage are not always the same thing.
With weddings, usage is usually simple: private use for downloading, printing, and sharing in a personal context is included. Business and editorial projects can be different.
In those cases the price may depend not only on production, but also on how long, where, and how widely the images will be used. That distinction is not a legal gimmick, it creates more fairness and clarity for both sides.
- private wedding use included by default
- business use can be scoped by channel, reach, duration, or exclusivity
- production effort and licensing can be shown separately
If you already have a date, a place, or a rough schedule, that is enough to start.
Especially for weddings, a first message with your date, location, time window, and priorities is often all I need for a solid offer.
