Frequently asked questions
Answers about how we work — booking, quotes, delivery and our client portal. Can't find yours? Just ask.
General
What does special.lu do?
We're a Luxembourg photography, videography and web-design studio. Under one roof we cover weddings, corporate events and conferences, brand and business portraits, professional headshots, restaurant and food, real-estate and architectural work, social-media video — and we build websites. One studio, one team, in your language.
Where are you based and where do you work?
We're based in Kleinbettingen, Luxembourg (56a Rue de Kahler, L-8378), and we work across all of Luxembourg — Luxembourg City and beyond — as well as the Greater Region. Contact us and we'll confirm coverage for your location.
What languages do you work in?
English, French, German, Luxembourgish and Portuguese — emails, calls, your shoot and your quote can all happen in the language you're most comfortable in.
Are you a registered business?
Yes. special.lu is the brand of Live Production S.à r.l.-S, a registered Luxembourg company (RCS B288883, VAT LU36114774). You get proper, VAT-compliant quotes and invoices.
Why don't you show prices on the website?
Because we don't sell fixed boxes — every project is scoped to what you actually need. Tell us about yours and we'll send a tailored quote with no obligation. All amounts are quoted excluding VAT; Luxembourg's 17% VAT is added where it applies.
Pricing, quotes & payment
How much does a shoot or a website cost?
Pricing is custom to each project, so we don't publish a rate card. The fastest way to a real number is to tell us what you're planning — we'll build a quote around it. Quotes are issued as a clear online proposal you can review and accept.
Are your prices with or without VAT?
All prices are quoted excluding VAT. Luxembourg's standard 17% VAT is added where applicable, and you'll receive a proper VAT invoice. If you're a business with a valid VAT number, ask us about reverse-charge handling.
How does the quote process work?
You tell us about your project, we send you an online proposal. You can review the options on the proposal page and accept the one that fits — no paper, no back-and-forth.
Can I get a VAT invoice for my company?
Yes — we can invoice your company directly with your VAT details and issue a proper Luxembourg VAT invoice for your accounting.
Booking, dates & changes
How do I book you?
Get in touch by the contact form, email ([email protected]), phone or WhatsApp (+352 661 990 450), or book a quick call. We'll check availability, send a tailored quote, and confirm the details.
How far in advance should I book?
The sooner the better, especially for weddings and peak dates, since we take a limited number of bookings. Get in touch as early as you can and we'll let you know about availability.
Can you check if my date is available?
Yes — send us your date through the contact form or message us directly and we'll confirm availability right away.
Weddings
Can you do photo and video for our wedding?
Yes — and more. special.lu covers your whole wedding day from one studio: photography, a cinematic wedding film, a personal officiant, and your own wedding website. "Your whole wedding day, one studio. Everything but the cake."
What's the officiant part about?
The studio has its own officiant who writes a warm, custom ceremony around you and your story — "not a script read off a card."
What's the wedding website you include?
Your own site in your language: your story, schedule, RSVP (with meal choices, dietary needs and song requests), travel and hotel info, a gift registry or honeymoon fund, a guestbook and a live countdown.
Do you cover the whole day?
We're built to cover the day as one coordinated team — from getting ready to the last dance. Tell us your timeline and we'll tailor the coverage in your quote.
Corporate & business
Do you cover corporate events and conferences?
Yes — conferences, company events, galas and awards, plus speaker, audience and networking coverage, in photo and video. We can also set up on-site headshots and capture short social clips from the day.
Can you do team headshots and brand portraits?
Yes — professional headshots and brand/business portraits, on location at your office or on a clean background, with consistent lighting across the whole team. Contact us for a tailored quote based on your team size.
Web design
You're a photo studio — do you really build websites?
Yes. Web design is a core service: "Websites, built by a studio that shoots." Because we produce the photography and video that fills your site, your launch looks like a real brand — no stock placeholders.
What kinds of sites do you build?
Everything from a sharp one-page presence to multi-page custom sites, online shops, booking systems, client portals, multilingual sites and integrations — plus ongoing care, hosting and content. We offer three tiers: Presence (look credible fast), Brand (most popular — full site, photo session and a short brand film) and Bespoke (shops, portals, custom features).
How much does a website cost?
It's quoted per project — all web-design enquiries route to a tailored quote rather than a fixed price. Tell us what you need and we'll scope it for you.
Will my site be GDPR-compliant?
Yes — we build privacy-first. Our own platform runs with essential cookies only by default, no advertising or cross-site tracking, and we include the privacy policy and legal notice your site needs.
Delivery & your files
How do I receive my photos and video?
Through a private online gallery in our client portal, plus delivery on SSD. You can view everything full-resolution, pick your favourites, leave comments (including timestamped comments on videos) and download.
Do I get a private, password-protected gallery?
Yes. You can log in to your account, or open a share link that can be password-protected and set to expire. Videos play directly in the browser — self-hosted, with no third-party tracking.
Can I share the gallery with family or my team?
Yes — you can share your gallery link, and (depending on the settings we apply for your project) others can view and download from it too.
Are the files high resolution and can I print them myself?
Yes — you download full-resolution files from your gallery. Ask us and we'll confirm the print and usage terms for your project in plain language.
Getting in touch
What's the fastest way to reach you?
Email [email protected], call or WhatsApp +352 661 990 450, message us on Instagram @SpecialDotLU, or use the contact form.
Can we have a call before booking?
Absolutely — get in touch and tell us what you're planning. No obligation, and we'll point you in the right direction even if we're not the right fit.
