Photo of Jacob V R Jacob V R "I hired Nomad-Quad to photoshoot my dogs at a dog run event and I couldn't be happier with the results! Jacob and his team used their drone photography skills to capture some beautiful aerial shots of my fur babies, as well as some stunning ground-level photos. The photos turned out amazing and truly captured the spirit of the event. Jacob was so patient and gentle with my dogs, making the whole experience enjoyable for everyone involved. They have the latest gear and know how to use it to get the best shots. They were also great at directing the dogs and getting them to look their best. The whole process was seamless and stress-free, and I received the photos quickly after the event. If you're looking for a talented drone and pet photographer, I highly recommend Nomad-Quad. They're professional, patient, and have a great eye for capturing the perfect shot. I can't wait to work with them again!"

He could tell we were nervous and chatted with us in a relaxed, friendly way, so by the second half we were relaxed and enjoyed the shoot. We made lovely memories and are very happy with them. We would love to book again :)" Translated from Japanese Based in Miyazaki Mina Mizukoshi - Adam Serra Sanfelin Photo of Silvia Lago Foto Silvia Lago Foto "Absolutely wonderful experience!

This team is truly amazing . Thank you Mabusang & Team!!" Based in Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa 10th April 2026 Classics on Turf - OMG Photo of Bigwig Photography Bigwig Photography "We booked Bigwig Photography for our Copenhagen City Hall elopement and honestly could not have asked for a better experience. From the very first communication everything was professional, clear and easy, which was really reassuring when planning a wedding from the UK. On the day we worked with Nertila and she was absolutely fantastic. From the moment we met her she made us feel completely relaxed and comfortable. She guided us naturally without anything feeling staged or awkward, and her calm, friendly approach made the whole experience really enjoyable. Very quickly it felt less like working with a photographer and more like having a friend with us on the day. Her knowledge of Copenhagen was brilliant and she took us to some beautiful spots around the city for photos after the ceremony. She knew exactly where to go and how to make the most of the surroundings and light, which resulted in some incredible photos that feel very natural and authentic. When we received the photos we were genuinely blown away. The editing style is elegant and timeless and the quality of the images is exceptional. She captured so many small moments that really tell the story of the day. If you are planning a Copenhagen City Hall wedding or elopement we would highly recommend Bigwig Photography, and especially Nertila. Professional, talented and a genuine pleasure to spend the day with. We now have an incredible set of photos that we will treasure forever." Based in Copenhagen, Capital Region, Denmark 15th March 2026 Matthew Duric - Wedding

Frequently asked questions

Hiring lifestyle photographers typically costs between ¥15,500 and ¥270,000+, with an average of ¥44,500. The price depends on the photographer's experience, session length, the number of edited images and any additional deliverables such as prints or albums. Travel, the number of photographers required and how quickly the edited images are needed can also influence the final price.

The lifestyle photographers specialise in natural, candid-style photography that captures genuine moments and emotions. This relaxed, documentary approach is popular for events, personal branding, family occasions and editorial-style shoots.

Hiring lifestyle photographers is popular for weddings, engagement parties, milestone celebrations, brand events and family gatherings. The lifestyle photography style produces authentic, storytelling images that feel natural rather than posed.

While traditional event photographers may focus on posed group shots and formal compositions, lifestyle photographers prioritise candid moments, natural light and storytelling. Many lifestyle photographers blend both approaches to deliver a well-rounded collection of images.

A lifestyle shoot is led by what happens rather than a fixed list, though most photographers will agree a handful of must-have moments beforehand. Naming the people and details that matter most is more useful than a long list. That balance is what keeps the images natural while still covering the essentials.

Indoor sessions work well where there is decent window light, which is why homes, studios and bright venues are common choices. Where daylight is limited the photographer may bring subtle additional lighting rather than direct flash. Discussing the location in advance lets them plan for the conditions.

Personal use is normally included, while commercial or brand use is agreed separately and priced accordingly. Photographers often ask to be credited when images are posted. Confirming the intended use at the enquiry stage keeps the quote accurate.

Yes, either add suppliers to your favourites and contact them all at once, or use the find a supplier wizard.

Booking as early as possible increases the chance of securing your supplier's availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many suppliers also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged bookings for clients with just a few hours' notice.

Contact the supplier you are interested in booking by clicking "Contact Now" on their listing. Discuss your requirements using our messaging system or join a video meeting (like a Zoom-call) to speak face-to-face. Once you are ready to confirm your booking, simply ask the supplier to send you a contract, which you can agree to online, or request amendments. Once you agree to the contract you will be asked to pay a 10% booking fee to confirm the booking, with the balance payable directly to the supplier by the due date you've agreed on.
