Say “I do” to 5 of the best wedding photographers in Malta
We once saw the wedding photos of a friend’s cousin—half were blurry, a few caught Uncle Joe mid-sneeze, and nearly all were tilted like someone sat on the camera. Safe to say, it was a lesson in what not to do.
That experience made one thing clear: hiring the right wedding photographer in Malta isn’t just a luxury—it’s a must. Capturing that whirlwind takes more than just a camera; it takes an artist with vision.
To help you avoid photo disasters and ensure your big day is remembered beautifully, we’ve rounded up Malta’s top photographers. These pros don’t just document the moment; they turn it into something timeless.
| How much do wedding photographers charge in Malta? Wedding photographers in Malta typically charge between €1,200 and €3,000 for full-day wedding coverage. However, rates vary based on factors such as experience level, package add-ons, and whether bookings are made during peak or off-season periods. |
1. Shane P. Watts Photography
Address: The Oaks, Triq Rużar Briffa, Il-Mosta MST 1492
Contact Details: +356 9988 8046
Operating Hours:
- Monday-Sunday: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM
We were fascinated by Shane P. Watts’s contemporary edge and emotion-driven frames. Each shot makes you relive every stolen glance and shared laugh, turning each wedding gallery into a cinematic love story.
In my friend’s case, Shane even provided a free pre-wedding app loaded with insider venue locations and photography suggestions to simplify the wedding planning process.
We were also impressed that Fearless Photographers, MyWed, and other notable platforms have featured his work. It’s truly a testament to his award-winning technical skill and creative vision.
His local expertise also shines. He truly knows Malta and Gozo’s hidden spots and will even travel across Europe for destination weddings. And as expected, the premium nature of his talent may stretch tighter budgets.
But beyond weddings, Shane offers hands-on workshops and online masterclasses in wedding and landscape photography. We love how his dedication to teaching shows that his passion truly goes beyond the aisle.
Comfortable and professional to work with
“We hired Shane for our special day and we can’t express how grateful we are for it. Shane is really professional and made us feel comfortable all day. Highly recommended and so so worth it”

2. FBalzan Photography
Address: Napuljun Caruana Dingli str., Tarxien 1280
Contact Details: [email protected]
Operating Hours:
- Monday-Sunday: Open 24 hours
FBalzan Photography, led by Franklin Balzan, combines an engineer’s eye for detail with a photojournalist’s instinct. Yes, we especially love how his fine-art approach and candid storytelling reflect years of street photography experience.
What’s more, his wedding-day prep hub is top-notch. It includes pre- and post-wedding guides, vendor roundups, and day-of tips.
Furthermore, his work is defined by strong spiritual and visual depth. We sense the influence of his Christian upbringing in both the visible moments and the unseen emotions he captures.
And with roots in street photography, he captures authentic moments. Also, we noticed his flexibility as a destination and elopement specialist in Malta, Gozo, and beyond. And through his lens, each place feels distinct and personal.
He has shot weddings across Asia, Europe, Australia, and the Americas, which means he has extensive international experience.
However, this soaring popularity means you may need to book over a year in advance.
Captured timeless candid moments perfectly
“We are so glad to have had Franklin as our wedding photographer. His talent for capturing candid moments and real emotions is truly unmatched. His distinct style is unmistakable and gives his work a timeless quality that we absolutely love. Aside from his work, he is wonderful to be around and made us feel so comfortable throughout! Thank you Franklin for preserving our memories so beautifully. p.s. our guests loved you!!”

Friendly prep and beautiful photos
“We are so glad that we chose Franklin to be our wedding photographer and would recommend him without any hesitation!! From the pre wedding photoshoot (which we are so glad that we opted for as it got us to get a bit used to the camera) he made us feel so much at ease and we truly enjoyed working with him! We are both camera-shy but with his ice-breaking exercises and Franklin’s friendly vibe we actually enjoyed the photoshoot 😀 On the wedding day he also made sure to listen to our wishes and adapted with our timelines. The images turned out beautiful and delivered to us within only a few days!! We are so happy to have these amazing photos to remind us of our special day, and Franklin has truly managed to capture beautiful moments that we can now re-live through the photos!”

- Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday: 3:00 PM – 7:00 PM

Ian Abdilla Photography stands out with its genuine storytelling and easygoing personal touch. We love how Ian connects effortlessly with couples, probably because he’s a friendly dad of six.
What really caught our eye are his unique “hiking” engagement sessions. By casually strolling through Malta’s scenic landscapes, he naturally captures couples’ authentic emotions and smiles.
He’s also a master of natural light, playing with contrasts to craft dramatic yet heartfelt images. We also like that every shot balances light and shadow, much like a painting. It adds cinematic flair to each wedding story.
And with over a decade of experience, it’s noticeable how he adapts naturally to any venue, from romantic vineyards to bustling city streets.
Still, couples craving a formal shoot might find his laid-back style too casual. But Ian’s “Storyteller and Problem Solver” ethos means he’s on-call for any hiccup. Some couples even mentioned that they felt truly supported from start to finish.
Fantastic and absolutely unique photographer
“Ian Abdilla, our wedding photographer was absolutely fantastic! He expertly captured every precious moment, adding a unique touch that made our photos truly special. From his creativity in framing shots to his friendly character, the entire experience was delightful. The turnaround time for our stunning photos was super fast, and the results exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend his services for anyone seeking a talented and personable wedding photographer who turns moments into beautiful memories.”
- Martina Mizzi, Google Review
Professional and relaxed session
“I have followed Ian Abdilla’s photography work from the very first weddings he shot and he was our obvious choice when it came to choosing our wedding photographer. I love his style and the fact that he truly manages to capture the moment and raw emotions with his photos. On both our pre wedding and wedding day Ian was punctual, very professional and very easy to work with – he truly made us feel comfortable and relaxed. He captured all the little and big, priceless moments while we still managed to enjoy our wedding to the full, interact with our guests and danced the day away since he was with us and followed us capturing moments rather than us taking a lot of time from our wedding to pose for template photos. We also had our gallery ready for us in a matter of days which was very nice! All in all our experience with Ian was great and we genuinely recommend him to couples planning their wedding searching for their wedding photographer :)”

Siemenjov Galdes Weddings brings a documentary, photojournalistic style that bursts with raw emotion. Their confidence shows in every frame, thanks to over a decade of experience and more than 500 ceremonies since 2012.
Building on their extensive experience, their team of ten pros guarantees multi-angle coverage and a one-stop hub—encompassing live streaming, photobooths, and vendor connections. However, couples seeking a low-key ceremony might find their sizable crew a bit intrusive.

Their event expertise spans from intimate elopements to grand celebrations of up to 1,000 guests. And we like how their transparent, competitive pricing makes choices straightforward for couples.

From the very beginning, they were warm, friendly, and charismatic — making us feel completely at ease throughout the entire experience. Their professionalism shone through in every moment, but what truly stood out was their genuine passion for their work. Not only were they a joy to have around, but they also delivered exceptional photos and film that perfectly captured the emotions, the laughter, and the most meaningful details of our day. Siemenjov and his team have a unique talent for blending into the background while still catching every special moment — and the final result was simply breathtaking. We’re so grateful for their artistic eye, their kindness, and the unforgettable memories they’ve helped preserve. Highly, highly recommended!🥇🏆”

“We chose Siemenjov Galdes Weddings – Photography & Film for our photography and videography. From our first meeting with Simi we were convinced that we were not going to regret this decision. Our pre-wedding photos were outstanding and the wedding photos were breathtaking. The team was super nice, creative, and helped us a lot during the day. Highly recommended and looking forward to use your services in the near future!”

5. Danielle Cassar Photography
Address: Qui Si Sana Road, Silema SLM 2018
Contact Details: +356 9949 8575
Operating Hours:
- Monday-Saturday: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM
- Sunday: Closed
Of all the pros listed here, Danielle Cassar’s work stands out the most. Her Brazilian-style photography gives major sunshine vibes, with dreamy portraits. Everything she captures has this emotional, almost magical feel.
She also delivers a diverse portfolio, from weddings and couples to maternity “bellies” and a 360° photobooth for interactive albums.
Yet, her fine-art packages sit at the higher end of the market, which might not fit every budget.
Despite this, she’s earned award-winning recognition on ProWedaward. Her bilingual portfolio in English and Portuguese even makes her accessible to both locals and expats.
We love that she offers culturally aware guidance on posing, wardrobe, and ceremony details to make everyone feel seen and celebrated.
Aside from her amazing photos, Danielle also totally knows her way around Malta. Her blog’s a hidden gem—it’s always updated and packed with helpful tips. We love how she includes map-linked galleries too.
Memorable and dreamlike photos
“This was something that we will remember for the rest of our lives. She made our dream come true and captured it. We couldn’t imagine any better engagement place. From the bottom of my heart I can recommend Danielle to everyone that wants to get engaged here, in Malta. ❤️😍”
- Richard Adrian Dreimanis, Google Review
Amazing and stunning photos
“Dani is absolutely amazing! She captured our wedding day beautifully and made us feel so comfortable all day- we are not the most comfortable taking photos but she is so lovely and we ended up with the most stunning wedding photos. We really couldn’t recommend her enough!”
