What moves the price in Málaga
Length — and here two hours is the better deal. The typical hour costs €400 for about 50 photos; the typical two hours cost €520 for about 120. The second hour more than doubles the gallery for a modest step in price. An hour covers the old town and the cathedral, or the port; two hours add the beach at Pedregalejo or the climb towards Gibralfaro.
What is inside the package. One-hour packages run from €345 to €905, so read the photo count and what each one includes before comparing prices.
The occasion. Weddings and elopements are priced as half or full days: a half day from €690 to €1,175, typically €855 for about 250 photos; a full day from €1,840 to €3,680, typically €2,140 for around 500.
Season and light. A package costs the same in any month and at any hour, sunrise included. Málaga's summer is gentler than inland Andalusia's because the sea takes the edge off the heat, but midday light on the beach is still hard, so sessions sit at the ends of the day. Cruise-ship days crowd the port and the old town; check them before you fix a date.
Group size. Up to eight people the price does not change. From nine up, most packages and Quick Booking cost 50% more.
Out of town, and tickets. Nerja and Frigiliana, Ronda or Marbella put the drive inside the booking, which means a half or full day. In the city, the Alcazaba and Gibralfaro castle are ticketed, with a combined ticket for both, and so is the botanical garden at La Concepción.
The fixed-price option: Quick Booking
Quick Booking gives you one all-in price for any listed place: €299 for one hour, €499 for two, €699 for three. You choose the place, the date and the occasion; we hand-pick a vetted local photographer and confirm them within 24 hours. Your card is charged only once the photographer is confirmed, and if we cannot match you, nothing is charged.
It costs less than any hour in the Málaga catalogue because you leave the choice of photographer to us. Any date: Quick Booking for Málaga.
What is included in the price
- Edited, high-resolution photos in a private online gallery. Every package states how many and how soon; one to three weeks is typical.
- Your payment is held until the photos are delivered.
- A full refund if you cancel seven or more days before, one free reschedule if you ask at least 48 hours ahead, and free rescheduling for bad weather.
- Photographers often shoot more than the package promises. The extra frames may be offered in the same gallery at a per-photo price the photographer sets; they are optional, and the number you booked never shrinks.
What clients say about this kind of shoot
What can we say about Dani except that he is the best. He did an amazing job catching all of our special moments (and there were A LOT of them) and, more importantly, making us and our guests feel completely comfortable and relaxed throughout the whole wedding. My husband and I are not the most photogenic couple and always get nervous in front of a camera, but we had such a fun time with him that we were able to relax and got a lot of wonderful shots. We recommend him to everyone who will listen, because you simply can't go wrong with Dani as your photographer. Thank you again!
— Ariana Cerdera on Daniel G.
Daniel captured our Indian wedding day so beautifully! The photos turned out amazing, and he managed to catch so many special, candid moments throughout the day. We are absolutely thrilled with his work. Thank you so much, Daniel!
— Arjun Lotay on Daniel G.
Well, I hired him for my wedding day and without a doubt it's one of the best decisions of my life ❤️ Dani has magic in his hands — his work is genuinely STUNNING. He was wonderful to deal with, he understood exactly what I wanted, and whatever I had imagined my photos would look like, Dani went far beyond it. Your photos make people cry, and looking at them takes you straight back to the moment. All I can say is that I'd choose you a thousand times over, and a million thanks for making such a beautiful day stay with us forever.
— Client on Daniel G.
I have recently used Petra for my Madrid Proposal and would highly recommend her! From helping to pick the perfect location, organising a violinist and the amazing photography that we will get to keep forever, thank you so much, you helped to make it a day to remember!
— Thomas Wilson-Bolton on Petra M.
Petra was great! She discreetly photographed and videoed my proposal and then photographed us in multiple locations. She was very helpful in posing us for photos while keeping everything very natural and fun.
— Jett Allen on Petra M.
Petra Majerova was a wonderful choice for our wedding. She accompanied us for two sessions: on our wedding day and, a few weeks later, in the gardens of the Royal Palace of Madrid. On both occasions, she made us feel comfortable and natural, perfectly capturing our connection, our emotions, and all those little moments that make photographs truly special. Her photography is elegant, sensitive, and full of personality. The result exceeded our expectations: we not only have beautiful images, but also a memory that tells our story. We wholeheartedly recommend Petra to any couple looking for a top-notch wedding photographer in Madrid.
— Miguel Coca on Petra M.
Three sample budgets
A one-hour couples shoot at sunrise. Pedregalejo's small beaches at first light, with the promenade empty and the sea often at its calmest, then the lanes of low fishermen's houses behind. A typical hour costs €400 for about 50 edited photos; the cheapest listed hour is €345, and Quick Booking is €299.
A two-hour family session. Muelle Uno and the Palmeral de las Sorpresas, flat, free and easy with a pram, then La Malagueta beach so the children can run. Two hours typically cost €520 for about 120 photos; the priciest two-hour package is €575, and two hours of Quick Booking are €499.
A proposal above the city. The Gibralfaro viewpoint in the last hour of light, with the bullring and the port below. A typical hour at €400 covers the question and the portraits after it; if you want time in the old town as well, 90 minutes typically cost €575.
Where the shoot happens
- The Alcazaba and Gibralfaro. The Moorish fortress climbs in terraces above the Roman Theatre: enclosed courtyards at the bottom, open terraces higher up. Early morning for the courtyards; the path towards Gibralfaro gives the view over the bullring and the port.
- Plaza del Obispo and the cathedral. The cathedral front, whose unfinished second tower earned it the nickname La Manquita, and the bishop's palace on the same square. Come early, before the square fills.
- Pedregalejo. The old fishing quarter east of the centre: small beaches between breakwaters, a promenade of low houses, and beach restaurants grilling sardines on skewers in sand-filled boats. First light is empty; the last hour is warm and lively.
- Muelle Uno and the Pompidou cube. The port promenade, flat and free: the white pergola of the Palmeral, the marina and the Centre Pompidou's coloured glass cube. The last hour of sun runs along the quay, then the cube lights up for blue hour.
- La Concepción botanical garden. A tropical garden about fifteen minutes from the centre by taxi, with dense shade when the beach is too bright. The wisteria flowers around March and April; entry is ticketed, with seasonal hours.
