A wedding photographer in Gijón costs, as a starting point, around €1,000 + VAT. That price covers the whole wedding day, from start to finish, and includes the pre-wedding session. It is full coverage, not a few odd hours.
Benchmark prices in Spain
There are clear benchmarks to put that figure in context. In Spain, a professional wedding photographer costs around €1,500 on average, according to Bodas.net (2026). On that same website's listings, the average by province ranges from €1,051 in Las Palmas to €1,574 in Madrid. Staying close to your province's average usually gives the best balance between quality and price. Paying much more buys prestige and sometimes a designer album. The photos do not always improve in the same proportion.
Extras: a second photographer
Then come the extras. The most common is a second photographer. At large weddings, with more than 130 guests, some recommend one for around €300 more. Others charge €600 for it. It adds a second point of view, especially during the ceremony. But one experienced person can cover the ceremony perfectly well.

Travel within and beyond Asturias
Travel counts too. Within Asturias, many teams charge nothing extra to go to Gijón, Oviedo, Avilés, Llanes, Cangas de Onís or Luarca. If the wedding is in León, Cantabria, Galicia or elsewhere in Spain, travel and accommodation are added when needed.
What lies behind the price
Behind every invoice there is more work than a single day. A significant share goes on expenses, taxes and equipment depreciation. What the professional keeps is quite a lot less than what you pay.
Style: documentary coverage
Once the price is clear, what really decides it is style. Many couples in Gijón are looking for natural coverage. No posing. No feeling of a camera on you at every moment. That approach is called documentary: telling the story of the day as it happens, without interrupting it. Some photographers also deliver around 10 photos the week after the wedding in a private gallery, so you can share them with your guests before you are back from your honeymoon. It is a small detail, but it shows.
