What does a wedding photographer in Lower Austria cost?
In 2026 a wedding photographer in Lower Austria costs between € 690 for four hours of photo coverage and € 2,540 for ten hours with photo and film. At NKLS Multimedia in Krems, drone footage is included in every wedding package; as a small business, no VAT applies.
Key facts
- Photography only: € 690 (4 hours) to € 1,640 (10 hours).
- Photo and film combined: € 1,390 (4 hours) to € 2,540 (10 hours).
- All prices are final — no VAT (§ 6 (1) no. 27 Austrian VAT Act).
- Drone footage is included in every wedding package, and every film uses licensed music.
What makes up the price
The biggest lever is duration. A registry-office ceremony with a couple shoot afterwards is told in four hours. A church wedding with getting ready, reception, dinner and dancing needs eight to ten hours — well over twice the work on the day itself.
The second lever is post-production, and it is regularly underestimated. Every hour on location adds roughly two hours of selection, developing and retouching. Add a film and the ratio shifts further: a five-minute highlight film is cut from several hours of footage.
The third lever is scope: second photographer, drone, sneak peek within 48 hours, printed album. In my packages, drone and music licensing are already included — a second photographer is an add-on.
Why VAT distorts the comparison
When comparing quotes, read the fine print: some providers quote net prices with 20 % VAT still to be added. € 2,000 net becomes € 2,400 gross. I am a small business under § 6 (1) no. 27 of the Austrian VAT Act — the price quoted is the final price, nothing is added.
