Wedding photographer in the Basque Country
Photographing a wedding in the Basque Country means telling the story of a day shaped by the ocean, the mountains, vibrant colors, and the energy of this unique region. I’m Julien Boyer, a wedding photographer, and I work with couples all along the coast and throughout the Basque hinterland to capture natural, vibrant, and deeply human images.
A wedding photographer in the Basque Country for a vibrant and authentic reportage
The Basque Country has a very strong identity: traditions, architecture, contrasting landscapes, and ever-changing light.
Whether it’s a wedding on the beach, in a white-and-red village, in the heart of the mountains, or in a traditional inn, this region always brings character to wedding reportages.
My approach is centered on emotion. I photograph what you truly experience, without forced posing, to offer you a reportage that feels like you.
My approach: natural, sensitive, and respectful
Candid, spontaneous images.
I focus on genuine moments: glances, laughter, spontaneous gestures, and intimate moments before the ceremony. These are the details that tell your story.
A discreet yet always attentive presence
I’m there without ever getting in the way. You live your wedding day; I capture it visually.
Personalized support
Every couple is unique, and every wedding in the Basque Country has its own atmosphere. Before your wedding day, we talk about your expectations so your reportage is truly tailored to you.

Love and emotions
Emotion perfectly captured
Julien was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding photos! He was punctual, friendly, and warm, and made us feel like the center of attention on such a special day. His attention to detail truly shines through in our photos, and we’re so grateful that he captured so many moments. He even worked “extra hours” for us, always with a smile. We would work with Julien again ten times over without hesitation — THANK YOU!
Memories etched for a lifetime
So much more than a photographer
I chose Julien for my wedding, and I can only recommend him 100%! He is kind, smiling, attentive, and immediately understood what we wanted. He made us feel at ease, even during the couple photos, and his advice was invaluable from start to finish. His good mood is contagious and his work is outstanding. He’s so much more than just a photographer!
Warm and authentic
Capturing emotion with talent
Julien captured our wedding with remarkable sensitivity. Each photograph reflects the emotion and atmosphere of this unique day, with special attention paid to detail. Beyond his talent as a photographer, it was also his kind and reassuring presence that stood out: always smiling, discreet, and attentive. From start to finish, he made us feel confident and supported us with professionalism and good humor. A true added value to our day.
What budget should you plan for a wedding photographer in the Basque Country?
For a wedding reportage in the Basque Country, my services start from €1,950.
The price mainly depends on the length of coverage, the time of year, and the options chosen (engagement session, album, prints, etc.).
The Basque Coast is highly sought after, especially between May and October, so dates are often booked well in advance. My goal is to offer a complete, cohesive, and carefully crafted reportage, providing you with lasting memories that truly reflect your day.
Where can you take wedding photos in the Basque Country?
The Basque Country offers a wide variety of settings, making it possible to create very different images depending on your wishes. I often accompany couples to places such as:
- the beaches of Biarritz or Saint-Jean-de-Luz, for an ocean atmosphere and Atlantic light
- the cliffs of Bidart or Guéthary, wilder and more dramatic
- typical villages such as Ainhoa, Sare, or Espelette, for a traditional and warm atmosphere
- the mountains and valleys of the inland Basque Country, ideal at sunset
Each location brings a different atmosphere: sea, nature, heritage, or Basque tradition.
How to choose your wedding photographer in the Basque Country?
Above all, I recommend choosing a photographer whose style you truly love. The images should speak to you immediately.
It’s also essential that the photographer knows how to work with natural light, as light in the Basque Country is constantly changing: sea winds, clouds, low sun at the end of the day…
An experienced photographer will know how to adapt to the weather, unexpected moments, and the rhythm of your wedding, while remaining discreet. The connection is just as important: you need to feel confident and at ease.
Does a photographer know the best spots in the Basque Country?
Yes. Thanks to my experience photographing weddings in the Basque Country, I know the most suitable locations depending on the time of day, the weather, accessibility, and the atmosphere you’re looking for.
Whether you’re looking for photos by the sea, in a Basque village, or in the mountains, I guide you toward the locations that best match your wedding and your personality.
How many photos are delivered for a wedding in the Basque Country?
For a full wedding reportage, I generally deliver between 600 and 1,000 photos.
Each image is carefully selected and then edited one by one to maintain a natural, soft, and harmonious look. I always prioritize the quality and coherence of the reportage over an artificially inflated number of images.
