How to compare two quotes
- Edited photos, not "all the photos". A quote that promises every frame is promising the ones a professional would have deleted. Compare the number that are colour-graded and retouched.
- Delivery time. 48–72 hours for a portrait session is normal here; a wedding takes weeks. A quote that does not name a date has not committed to one.
- Travel. Ask whether getting to the location is inside the price. With us it is, within the area you book; elsewhere it is often a line added afterwards.
- Licence. You should be able to print and publish your own photographs without paying again. If usage is restricted, the cheaper quote is not cheaper.
- The hour. A photographer who accepts a two o'clock session in Seville in August without comment has told you something about the photographs.
Questions about cost
How much does a photoshoot in Spain cost?
With Albor, a portrait or couple session of 60 to 90 minutes costs from €160 to €260, with 25 to 45 edited photos. Holiday and family sessions start at €210 and €220. The exact figure depends on length and add-ons and is confirmed in writing before you book.
How much is a wedding photographer in Spain?
A full wedding day — ten hours, from preparations to the first hour of the party, with 500 edited photos — starts at €1,600. An elopement of four hours starts at €850, and a destination wedding of twelve hours at €2,400. A second photographer adds €350.
Is a photographer more expensive in Ibiza or Marbella than in Madrid?
Not with us: every session costs the same in all twelve places, and travel within the area you book is included. What differs is demand — July and August on the islands and the Costa del Sol book up first, so book earlier rather than expect to pay more.
Do I need to pay a deposit?
Not to ask. You receive a written quote within two working hours with no deposit and no obligation, and nothing is charged until you confirm the booking.
What is included in the price?
The photographer's time, the selection and colour grading afterwards, and a private online gallery at full resolution with a licence to print and share. There is no per-image charge and no retouching sold separately.
