Looking for a photographer in Brussels? These 5 tips will help you find the right one
1. Book well in advance, especially in the city centre. Brussels hosts weddings, events and international business meetings all year round, meaning sought-after photographers get booked up quickly. Ideally, book your photographer six to nine months in advance, particularly if your date falls on a weekend between May and September.
2. Bear in mind a multilingual or international guest list. Brussels naturally attracts a diverse and international crowd, and this often applies to the guest list for a wedding or event too. If your photographer is fluent in several languages, communication during group photos and speeches will run much more smoothly for everyone.
3. Choose a photographer who is familiar with the city’s architecture. From the Baroque façades around the Grand Place to the elegant Art Nouveau buildings in neighbourhoods such as Ixelles, Brussels offers a wide range of visual styles within a compact area. Ask specifically for examples of previous work in a similar urban setting, so you know what to expect.
4. Ask about experience with venues requiring permits. Some historic squares and iconic locations in Brussels require an application or prior arrangement for professional photography, particularly for larger groups or additional equipment such as lighting sets. A photographer who knows the city well will often already be aware of which locations these are and how best to handle the situation.
5. Ask about flexibility in the event of changeable weather. The weather in Brussels is changeable, and this is an important factor to consider when choosing a photographer. Make a conscious decision to choose someone who discusses a Plan B in advance for an outdoor shoot, so that you can be sure the quality of your images won’t depend on the weather on the day itself.
FAQ: Photographer in Brussels
The Brussels-Capital Region combines a densely built-up historic centre – featuring the Grand Place and the surrounding streets – with greener municipalities such as Uccle or Watermaal-Bosvoorde, and parks such as the Bois de la Cambre or the Parc du Cinquantenaire. Discuss the atmosphere you have in mind with your photographer so that they can suggest the most suitable setting.
A photographer who frequently works in the centre of Brussels usually knows the most picturesque spots amongst the historic architecture and narrow streets, and is also aware of which places are busier at what time of day. Compare a few portfolios with that urban setting in mind. Are you getting married? Then choose a wedding photographer who specialises in wedding photography.
Allow at least thirty to forty-five minutes extra if your ceremony and reception are taking place in different municipalities – for example, a ceremony in the city centre followed by a reception in a quieter municipality further afield. Discuss this travel time with your photographer in advance so that they can plan accordingly and don’t miss any important moments.
Yes, most photographers working in Brussels are used to this, as the city naturally attracts an international and multilingual crowd. Discuss in advance which language or languages your photographer can use to communicate during the group photos, so that everyone feels at ease and the instructions are clear to everyone.
Opt for both if you also want to capture the sound and movement of your day, such as speeches in multiple languages, the laughter during the reception or your first dance. A videographer complements your photographer in this way. If you’re getting married at a busy location such as the Grand Place or another central square, discuss with both of them in advance how they’ll deal with background noise from traffic, trams or passers-by.
You can expect to pay an average of 2,000 to 3,500 euros for a photographer in Brussels. If you opt for a more comprehensive package – for example, one that includes a longer shooting session, a separate engagement shoot or a luxury photo book – the price can rise to around 5,000 euros, according to our National Wedding Survey. Ask your photographer for a clear breakdown of exactly what’s included in the price. Want to know more about the total cost of a wedding?
