By Dimitris Alexandrakis, destination wedding photographer, Alexandrakis Photography

A wedding photography package in Greece typically includes a pre-wedding consultation, full-day coverage from getting ready to the reception, and a private online gallery of professionally edited photos.

At Alexandrakis Photography you receive about 700 edited, retouched 4K photos with download and print rights, and photo plus video from one in-house team, starting from €1,600. I am Dimitris Alexandrakis.

This guide explains what is included, what is optional, and how to compare packages well. For the wider picture, see my complete guide to wedding photography in Greece.

The short answer: what a package includes

A good wedding photography package covers three things: planning, coverage, and delivery. That means a consultation before the day, full-day photography on the day, and an edited gallery afterwards.

Beyond those essentials, packages differ in add-ons such as video, a second shooter, and albums. The core, though, should always be coverage and a professionally edited gallery.

At my studio, every package includes photo and video from one in-house team, so your day is captured cohesively with a single point of contact.

Core inclusions in every package

 

Every package I offer starts with a pre-wedding consultation and timeline planning. We map your day around golden hour so your photos fall in the best possible light.

On the day, you receive full-day coverage, from getting-ready moments through the ceremony and into the reception. Nothing important is left uncovered.

After the wedding, you receive a private online gallery of edited, retouched images with the rights to download and print them. These are the essentials no package should be without.

Everything else, from video to albums, builds on this foundation rather than replacing it.

Your deliverables: photos, gallery and rights

The heart of any package is what you actually receive, and here the details matter. You get approximately 700 edited, retouched 4K photos, delivered without watermarks.

They arrive through a private online gallery with download and print rights, so the images are truly yours to keep, share, and print. There are no hidden usage restrictions.

You receive a sneak peek within 7 days of the wedding, then the full gallery in 6 to 8 weeks. That balance gives you something to enjoy quickly while the full edit is done properly.

To understand the numbers behind a wedding gallery, see my guide on how many photos you get from your wedding.

Photo and video from one in-house team

One of the biggest differences between packages is who captures your day. At my studio, photo and video come from one cohesive in-house team, not subcontractors who meet for the first time on the morning.

That matters for two reasons. The style stays consistent across both photo and film, and you have a single point of contact from booking to delivery.

A coordinated team also moves smoothly around each other, so neither photographer nor videographer is ever in the other’s shot. The day feels calm, not crowded.

If you are deciding whether to add film, my guide on whether wedding video is worth the cost weighs it up honestly.

How many hours of coverage do you need?

Coverage hours shape what a package can capture, so think about your day’s length. A basic package usually spans 6 to 10 hours, enough for the ceremony and the heart of the reception.

For a destination wedding, I recommend full-day coverage, from getting ready to the main reception moments. So much of the emotion lives in the quiet hours before and the celebration after.

If your day includes a welcome event or runs late into the night, discuss extended coverage at the enquiry stage. It is easier to plan than to add on the day.

The right number of hours is the number that captures your whole story, not a fixed rule. We work it out together during planning.

Is travel included? Destination weddings in Greece

For destination couples, travel is one of the most important questions, and the answer should be clear from the start. Travel is included within mainland Greece and major islands.

International travel, and any complex logistics, are quoted transparently up front, so there are no surprises on your invoice. You always know what you are paying for.

Because I am based in Greece and cover the whole country, I know the islands, the venues, and the light. That local knowledge is part of what you book.

Clear travel terms are also a fair way to compare photographers. Ask every quote whether travel and accommodation are included or extra.

Common add-ons: second shooter, drone, albums, photo booths

Add-ons let you shape a package around your day. The most popular is a second shooter, an additional photographer who captures extra angles and candid moments at the same time.

Cinematic video and drone footage add motion and scale, which suit Greece’s dramatic landscapes especially well. A film captures sound and movement that stills cannot.

Custom heirloom albums turn your gallery into a physical keepsake, designed to be passed down. Many couples add one after seeing their photos.

Photo booths are a fun reception extra. My Mirror Booth and 360 Booth each run for 5 hours at €1,000, with unlimited prints or videos for your guests.

Pre-wedding and next-day sessions

Beyond the wedding day itself, many couples add a pre-wedding or next-day session. A pre-wedding shoot helps you relax on camera and gives you images for save-the-dates.

A next-day shoot lets you wear your dress or suit again, without the time pressure of the wedding, often at sunrise in a beautiful Greek setting. The results are relaxed and unhurried.

Both are optional, and both add meaningfully to your story. If you are camera-shy, a session before the day makes a real difference.

To decide whether one suits you, see my guide on whether you need an engagement shoot.

Albums and printed keepsakes

In a screen-first world, a printed album is more special than ever. A custom heirloom album turns your gallery into an object you can hold, share, and pass down.

I design albums around your story, choosing images that flow as a narrative rather than a random selection. The result feels like a book of your day.

Wall art and fine-art prints are lovely additions too, especially for a few standout portraits. They bring your wedding into your home every day.

Albums can be added with your package or later, once you have lived with your gallery. There is no rush to decide.

What packages cost in Greece

Pricing is the question everyone has, so here is the honest picture. Full-day photo and video starts from €1,600, with the most popular package at €2,500.

Final pricing depends on the season, the date, the location, the services you choose, and whether you add an album. Custom packages are built around exactly what you need.

I do not publish a long, rigid price list, because every wedding is different. A short consultation gives you an accurate quote for your day rather than a generic figure.

For a fuller view of budgets, my guide on how much a wedding photographer costs in Greece puts these numbers in context.

What is often not included, and what to check

Knowing what is not included is as important as knowing what is. Some studios quote a low headline price, then charge extra for travel, a second shooter, albums, or faster delivery.

Always ask whether editing, download rights, and print rights are included, because these vary widely. In my packages, they are standard, with no watermarks and full download rights.

Check delivery times too, since a long wait can be frustrating. I deliver a sneak peek within 7 days and the full gallery in 6 to 8 weeks.

Reading the signed offer carefully protects you. A clear, itemised offer is a sign of a professional who has nothing to hide.

How to compare packages without comparing price alone

Price is the easiest thing to compare, but it is rarely the most important. Two packages at the same price can deliver very different value once you look closely.

Compare full galleries, not just highlights, so you can judge consistency across a whole wedding. Then compare inclusions: coverage hours, number of images, rights, and delivery times.

Look at who captures the day and how quickly you receive your photos. A slightly higher price often reflects a stronger team and a better experience.

Be wary of unusually cheap quotes, which can hide extra fees. My guide on hidden costs of wedding photography shows what to check.

How our packages and booking work

Booking is simple and transparent. A down payment secures your date, alongside a written, signed offer that lists every product and service included.

A further payment falls due about one month before the wedding, with the balance on delivery of all your material. You always know what is due and when.

From there, we plan your timeline together and prepare for the day, so everything runs calmly. The package is the start of a relationship, not just a transaction.

If you are still choosing, my questions to ask your wedding photographer will help you compare offers with confidence.

The pre-wedding consultation explained

Every package begins with a consultation, and it does more than tick a box. It is where we get to know each other and where your day starts to take shape.

We talk about your venue, your vision, and the moments that matter most to you. I use that to recommend the right coverage and any add-ons worth considering.

This is also your chance to ask anything, from timelines to how I work on the day. A good consultation replaces uncertainty with a clear plan.

By the end, you know exactly what your package includes and how the day will feel, long before it arrives.

Photo only, or photo and video?

One of the first choices is whether to book photo alone or photo and video together. Photos are timeless and easy to share, while film adds sound, motion, and voices.

Because my studio offers both from one in-house team, combining them is seamless and consistent. You are not coordinating two separate suppliers who have never met.

Many couples who hesitate about video later say the film became one of their most treasured keepsakes. Hearing your vows again is powerful.

If you are unsure, we can discuss it in the consultation and shape a package that fits your priorities and budget.

Do you need a second photographer?

A second shooter is optional, and whether you need one depends on your day. For larger weddings, or when getting ready happens in two locations, a second photographer is invaluable.

They capture reactions you would otherwise miss, such as your partner’s face while you walk down the aisle. Two angles tell a fuller story.

For smaller, intimate weddings, one experienced photographer is often plenty. I will always give you an honest recommendation rather than an automatic upsell.

The goal is the right coverage for your wedding, not the largest possible package.

Why value matters more than the lowest price

It is tempting to choose the cheapest quote, but wedding photos are not something you can reshoot. The value of a package lies in the images you keep forever.

A slightly higher investment often buys experience, a stronger team, better editing, and faster, clearer delivery. Those differences show in your gallery.

Think about what the photos are worth to you in ten or twenty years. Very few couples wish they had spent less on their wedding photography.

My wedding photography budget guide puts pricing in perspective, so you can invest with confidence rather than regret.

Turning your package into a plan

Once you choose a package, the real value begins. We turn the inclusions into a plan tailored to your venue, your timeline, and the moments you care about most.

I map coverage around your ceremony and golden hour, so the hours you book are used where they matter. Nothing is wasted, and nothing important is missed.

If you have added film, a second shooter, or a session, we fold those into the same plan. Everything works together as one coordinated day.

By the wedding morning, you have a clear schedule and a team who knows it by heart. That preparation is what makes a package feel effortless on the day.
