How Much Does a Photoshoot in Annecy Cost in 2026? Real Prices from €460
A one-hour photoshoot in Annecy costs €460 — one package is listed at that length — and two hours start at €520, which is also the typical price. These are all-in prices from the 11 packages that 3 photographers list in Annecy, checked in September 2026. It is a small catalogue, so prices are quoted per package rather than as broad ranges, and nothing is added at checkout.
Annecy photoshoot prices at a glance
Every Annecy package by length. “Typical” is the median; with a single package in a row, that is simply its price. The last column is the median number of edited photos delivered.
| Session | Packages | From | Typical | Up to | Edited photos (typical) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 hour | 1 | €460 | €460 | €460 | 30 |
| 2 hours | 3 | €520 | €520 | €690 | 60 |
| Full day | 7 | €1,945 | €2,490 | €3,210 | 600 |
Seven of the 11 packages are full days, the format weddings and elopements are booked in, so the median across all packages is €2,000, which says nothing about a short session. Two of the three two-hour packages cost €520. There is no 90-minute and no half-day package; between two hours and a full day, photographers quote individually. The platform's lowest possible package price is €345, and nothing in Annecy is listed that low right now.
What moves the price in Annecy
A small catalogue. With three photographers and a single one-hour package, what is listed decides more than the calendar. Compare the two-hour packages on photo count and portfolio, not only on price, and keep Quick Booking in mind as the fixed-price alternative.
Length, and what fits in it. An hour covers the old town canals and the Pont des Amours. Two hours add the lake shore by the Jardins de l'Europe and the Pâquier, a few minutes' walk away. The cheaper two-hour packages cost only a little more than the hour, and two hours typically deliver about 60 photos against 30.
The occasion. Couples, families and proposals book by the hour. Weddings and elopements are day work: seven full-day packages run from €1,945 to €3,210, typically €2,490 for around 600 photos.
Season and time of day. A package costs the same in every season and at every hour. In July and August the canals fill with visitors by mid-morning, so the old town is a before-nine job, and the lake is often at its calmest early too.
Group size. Up to eight people, the price does not move. From nine people up, most packages — and Quick Booking — cost 50% more.
Around the lake. Talloires on the east shore is about 20 minutes by car, and the Col de la Forclaz viewpoint sits further up a mountain road: travel time that means a longer booking or a custom proposal agreed in the chat.
The fixed-price option: Quick Booking
If you would rather not compare portfolios, Quick Booking has one all-in price: €299 for one hour, €499 for two, €699 for three. You give us the place, the date and the occasion; we hand-pick a vetted photographer and confirm them within 24 hours. Your card is only charged once the photographer is confirmed, and if we cannot match you, you pay nothing.
In Annecy it fills real gaps: one hour costs less than the only listed hour, two hours less than any two-hour package, and three hours give you the old town plus time by the lake, a half day the catalogue does not offer. The trade is that you do not choose the photographer. Any listed place, any date: Quick Booking for Annecy.
What is included in the price
- Edited, high-resolution photos in a private online gallery. Every package states how many and how soon, usually 3 to 14 days, and the gallery stays open for 90 days after delivery.
- Payment held until delivery: the photographer is paid after your photos arrive, not before.
- Cancel 7 or more days before the shoot and you get a full refund; between 3 and 7 days, 50% back; under 3 days, no refund. One free reschedule if you ask at least 48 hours ahead, and moving for bad weather is always free.
- Extra frames beyond the package may be offered in the same gallery at a per-photo price the photographer sets. Buying them is optional; the photos you booked are never held back.
What clients say about this kind of shoot
Aurélie was the photographer for our wedding in June 2026, and we couldn't be happier with her work. Everything went perfectly, from the initial booking and planning call to the wedding day itself, right through to the delivery of our photos. Aurélie was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and supportive throughout the entire process. She took the time to listen to our wishes while also suggesting photo ideas we would never have thought of ourselves — and we are so grateful to have those memories today. The photographs are absolutely beautiful and perfectly reflect the style shown on her website. She was also extremely responsive to our emails and always took the time to answer every question we had. A huge thank you for your professionalism, your kindness, and for giving us such a beautiful lasting memory of our wedding day. ❤️
— Julia & Mehdi on Aurélie B.
Aurélie is an incredible photographer — available, attentive, diligent and, above all, extremely talented. We chose her to photograph our wedding, and we immediately felt we were in the best of hands. She approaches every wedding as a unique story, taking the time to understand each couple so she can create images that truly reflect who they are, while bringing her own artistic touch. She is both discreet and incredibly patient, while remaining highly efficient. Her photographs are beautiful, full of life, and capture genuine moments, details and portraits with remarkable spontaneity. Every image perfectly reflects the atmosphere of the day. In short, you can trust her completely. Thank you again!
— Louise & Martin on Aurélie B.
We turned to Aurélie to capture our wedding, and we couldn't have dreamed of a better photographer for such an important day. Her work is quite simply exceptional. The photos are beautiful, natural, elegant and, above all, full of emotion. She captured all those little moments we sometimes hadn't even noticed on the day, and that let us relive it today with the very same feeling. What we particularly loved about Aurélie is her discretion. She knows how to be in the right place at the right moment, without ever being intrusive. You completely forget the camera is there, which is what makes the shots so spontaneous and genuine. Beyond her talent, Aurélie is a lovely person — gentle, professional and attentive. She put us at ease and blended perfectly into our wedding and among our guests. We are more than delighted with the result and we will treasure these photos all our lives. Thank you so much, Aurélie, for immortalising one of the most beautiful moments of our life. We recommend her with our eyes closed to every future bride and groom! 🤍
— Alizee & Arthur on Aurélie B.
We received the album and we absolutely love it. The photographs are stunning. The design of the box is perfect — so elegant and chic. Thank you again for all these beautiful memories.
— Anne-Sophie & Biskher on Aurélie B.
Aurélie, by all the gods (if they even exist)… as always, absolutely breathtaking. We'll take the time to truly enjoy them and bring them to life beyond the screen. In the meantime, with just one glance, you've already taken us right back to that wonderfully unforgettable day. Thank you a thousand times.
— Manon & Axel on Aurélie B.
Three sample budgets
A one-hour couples shoot at sunrise. The old town canals before nine, with the Palais de l'Isle in the middle of the Thiou, then the Pont des Amours as the lake wakes up. The one listed hour costs €460 for about 30 edited photos; Quick Booking is €299 if we choose the photographer.
A two-hour family session. The Pâquier and the Jardins de l'Europe by the water — an open lawn, big shady trees, room to run — then a short walk along the canals. Two hours typically cost €520 for about 60 photos, and up to €690; two hours of Quick Booking are €499.
A proposal. Usually an hour: on the Pont des Amours early, before the crowds, or by the lake at Talloires in the evening light. Budget €460 for the hour, or €520 for two hours if you want the old town as well; Quick Booking is €299 for the hour.
Where the shoot happens
- The old town canals. The Thiou and the canals around the Palais de l'Isle, the old island prison. Empty before nine; full of visitors from late morning in summer.
- Pont des Amours. The little bridge over the Vassé canal between the Jardins de l'Europe and the lakeside park, with moored boats below and the mountains beyond.
- Jardins de l'Europe and the Pâquier. Big old trees by the water and a long open lawn on the lake shore: flat and easy for families.
- Talloires. A village on the east shore, about 20 minutes by car. The east shore faces west, so it takes the evening light, with the lake and the mountains across the water.
- Col de la Forclaz. A mountain pass above the east shore with the whole lake below, where paragliders take off. Allow for the drive up.
