Photographing your wedding between the Sambre and the Meuse

17 studios photographing in Namur province, from full-day coverage to drone.

17 approved studios 7 criteria 16 towns
See the 17 studios Find my style first

Of the 17 studios covering the province, 5 are based there and 12 come from elsewhere, mostly from Hainaut and Brabant wallon. That is normal for a trade on the road: Namur sits at the crossing of the E411 and the E42, and an hour's drive changes nothing about the quality of a day. What really changes here is the light: in the Meuse valley, the rocks cut off the sun well before the official time of sunset. A photographer who has already worked in Profondeville, Yvoir or Dinant does not put the couple's session at the same hour as in the Hesbaye.

What kind of coverage are you looking for?

Photo, video, drone, pair: most studios tick several of these boxes.

Or by province

5 are based in the province of Namur, 12 come from a neighbouring province. In this trade, travelling is normal.

How to choose your photographer in Namur province

  1. 1Set the shoot by the real lightBetween Profondeville, Yvoir and Dinant, the sun drops behind the cliffs long before the horizon. Ask the studio what time it shoots portraits at your exact venue.
  2. 2Drones depend on the venue, not the studio11 studios out of 17 offer it, but permission is judged address by address. Get written confirmation that your venue can be flown over before you pay for the option.
  3. 3Shooting as a pair helps in dark stone8 studios work as a duo. In a farm with small windows or in a chapel, two cameras keep you from missing the entrance while someone is framing faces.
  4. 4Travel is negotiated once12 studios out of 17 come from another province. Ask whether travel is included and what happens when the party ends late in Ciney or Achêne.
  5. 5The engagement shoot works as a rehearsal6 studios offer it. Shot up by the citadel or along the Meuse, it mostly teaches you how you react to the lens.

The 5 questions to ask before you sign

  • How many hours do you stay with us, and from what moment?
  • Will you be on your own or two of you, and who comes if you are unable to?
  • Do you know our venue, and where would you take our portraits there?
  • How many photos do we get, how soon and in what form?
  • If it rains all day, where do we do the couple session?

  • ·A short cut edited for the phone is ordered alongside the long film.
  • ·The drone is for the opening shot, a few seconds, not the whole film.
  • ·Engagement shoots happen in everyday places rather than staged settings.

Frequently asked questions

How many photographers cover Namur province?

17 studios in total: 5 are based in the province, in Gesves and Éghezée notably, and 12 come from elsewhere, mostly from Hainaut and Brabant wallon. 14 do photography, 11 the drone and 8 video.

Is it a problem if they come from another province?

No, a photographer works in a mobile trade: travelling for the day is the norm. Just check that the travel costs are in the quote and that they have already scouted your venue.

Should you book photo and video in the same place?

8 studios do both, which simplifies coordination on the day. Above all, look at whether the second operator really is the person whose work you have seen.

Find the eye that knows the valley

Look at whole weddings, not selections of ten images. What you are looking for is someone who holds the day from the morning through to the end of the night.
