Some days do not fit into a session. A fjord day out of Bergen with a train, a ferry and a mountain railway, a drive through Lofoten from one fishing village to the next, a wedding that starts in the morning and runs into a light summer night. A full day lets the photographer stay with you instead of arriving for an hour.
Eight hours changes how the photographs feel. There is time to wait for the cloud to lift off a peak, to follow the small moments between the planned ones, and to take a proper break without losing anything. You end the day with a record of all of it, not only its highlights.
Season matters more than people expect. In June and July the days in southern Norway are long enough that eight hours cover only part of the light, and in Tromsø the sun does not set at all from roughly late May to late July. Around the winter solstice, Oslo has only about six hours between sunrise and sunset, and Tromsø is in polar night from roughly late November to mid January, with a few hours of blue twilight. Your photographer plans the hours around this.
How it works
- 1
Share your day
Send a free, no-obligation availability request with the date, the region and a rough outline of the day. A wedding timeline or a road-trip itinerary is enough to start.
- 2
We match a photographer
We check which reviewed photographers are free for the full day and know the region and the kind of event, and reply personally. For weddings we also ask about rules at your venue.

Review the proposal
It names the photographer, the hours, the package, travel, ferries and any overnight costs, and the exact price. Payment terms are stated in it; nothing is booked until you accept.

Plan, then enjoy the day
You agree the timeline together, including meals and a plan B. On the day, the photographer keeps to the plan and watches the weather so you do not have to.

Where the session happens
A full day makes the longer routes possible. From Bergen, a fjord day can follow the train to Voss and on towards the Nærøyfjord and Flåm, with a fjord boat, the Flåm Railway up to Myrdal and the Stegastein viewpoint over the Aurlandsfjord; the photographer joins the part that suits the light, or the whole day by car. In Lofoten, a road day along the E10 can run from Henningsvær or Svolvær past the beaches at Haukland and Uttakleiv to Hamnøy and Reine, with time for a fishing village lunch. From Ålesund, a day can include the drive to Geiranger, the Eagle Road and a fjord crossing. In winter, a day around Tromsø can combine the fjords and beaches outside the city in the short daylight with a northern lights evening. For weddings, see our guide to weddings in Norway; if half a day is enough, the Norway photo tour is the shorter format.
Preparation tips
- Build real breaks into the timeline, including a meal for everyone; a full day without them shows on the faces in the afternoon.
- Put the most important photographs early; if the weather turns, they are already done.
- Check ferry timetables and road closures before the day; a missed ferry can cost an hour or more on the fjord routes.
- Bring a second outfit or shoes for the evening; a change marks the chapters of the day in the photographs.
- Pack layers and a waterproof jacket whatever the season; weather on the coast can change several times in a day.
- Share contact details for one person in your group who can answer the photographer’s questions on the day.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a full-day photographer cost in Norway?
Through Fjordly a full-day experience starts from NOK 25,000 for about eight hours. The price depends on the photographer, the region, the date, the route and add-ons such as a second photographer, video or extra hours. Travel, ferries and any overnight costs are stated in your proposal before you commit.
Can the eight hours be split, for example a day session and the northern lights at night?
Sometimes, depending on the photographer and the place. A split day with a long break in the middle is possible with some photographers, and in Tromsø it is a common way to combine daylight and the aurora. Ask in your request and the proposal will state how the hours are counted.
How many photographs do we receive?
Around 250 edited photographs in the starting package; many full days produce more. The exact number or range is stated in your proposal, together with the delivery time.
Do we pay for the photographer’s meals, ferries and transport?
It depends on the package, and the proposal says so in writing. On a full day it is usual to plan a meal break for the photographer, and a route far from the photographer’s base can mean an overnight stay, which is listed as a cost if it applies.
Is a full day enough for a wedding?
For most small and medium weddings, eight hours covers getting ready, the ceremony, portraits and dinner. Norwegian summer weddings often run late, so ask for extra hours or a second photographer if you want the whole evening; see wedding photography.
What if the weather is bad on the day?
The timeline includes a weather plan, such as swapping a high viewpoint for a village, a harbour or an indoor venue. With eight hours there is often a window between showers; if the day cannot work at all, the options for moving it are in your proposal.
