Vendors near Province of Antwerp
1. Book well in advance, especially in the city centre. Antwerp city centre attracts many weddings and events all year round, partly due to the popularity of venues such as historic buildings and industrial lofts. Ideally, book your photographer six to nine months in advance, especially if you’re getting married at the weekend between May and September.
2. Choose a photographer who is familiar with your type of venue. A photo shoot amongst the city’s narrow streets and historic façades requires a different approach to a session in an industrial warehouse or amongst the trees in the Kempen. Browse portfolios with your own venue in mind, and specifically ask to see previous work in a similar setting.
3. Think about the atmosphere you want to capture. Antwerp combines distinctive architecture, fashion and a strong urban identity with the quieter, greener countryside of the Kempen. Do you want edgy, urban images, or perhaps tranquillity and natural light? Discuss this with your photographer in advance so that the style of the photoshoot matches your desired atmosphere.
4. Take traffic and accessibility into account. If you’re getting married in the centre of Antwerp, heavy traffic or limited parking may put pressure on the schedule, especially if your photographer needs to move equipment between multiple locations. Discuss the schedule and any travel time in advance.
5. Take the season into account for an outdoor photoshoot. The wooded areas and heathlands in the Kempen change significantly throughout the year, from vibrant purple heather in late summer to bare, atmospheric tree silhouettes in winter and fresh, bright green in spring. Discuss with your photographer which seasonal setting best matches the atmosphere you have in mind, especially if you’ve deliberately chosen an outdoor photoshoot surrounded by nature.
Antwerp city centre offers a wide variety of backdrops, from historic streets, squares and townhouses to industrial harbour buildings, warehouses and modern architecture along the Scheldt. Further out in the province, towards the Kempen, you’ll find vast forests, heathland and peaceful, rural villages. Discuss with your photographer the atmosphere you have in mind, so that they can suggest the most suitable setting or time of day.
Browse the portfolios with your specific wedding venue in mind. A photographer who frequently works in the city knows the most picturesque spots amongst the architecture, street scenes and the waterfront, whilst a photographer familiar with the Kempen knows exactly how to make the most of natural light in a green, open setting. Are you getting married? Then consider a wedding photographer who specialises in wedding photography for this special day.
For most public spaces in the city, such as streets, squares and parks, you do not need a permit. For some busy or protected locations, specific rules may apply regarding professional photography, for example concerning the use of tripods, additional lighting or larger groups. Ask your photographer if they are familiar with these locations and know exactly which local rules apply.
Yes, even if the venues are far apart. For example, if you’re getting married in the centre of Antwerp followed by a reception further out in the Kempen, discuss the actual travel time between the two venues in advance – including a buffer – so that your photographer has enough time to get there.
More and more couples are booking both. A photographer captures moments in still images, whilst a videographer also captures sound and movement. Think of a speech, a laugh during the reception or your first dance. If you’re choosing a venue in the city centre, ask both how they deal with ambient noise such as traffic or passers-by whilst filming.
According to our National Wedding Survey, you’ll pay on average between 2,000 and 3,500 euros for a photographer in Antwerp, whilst comprehensive packages including, for example, a second photographer, a photo album or a longer booking period can run to around 5,000 euros. The number of hours, the number of photographers, post-production and the products delivered all help to determine the final price. Curious about the total cost of a wedding?
