Two quotes for "wedding photography" can look very different on paper. Most of the difference comes from a handful of things. Here is what to look for, so you are comparing like with like.
What makes up the price
- Coverage hours and events — haldi, mehendi, wedding and reception are often priced as separate days.
- Team size — one photographer, or photographers plus cinematographers and assistants.
- Films — a teaser, a highlight film and a full-length film each take days of editing.
- Albums — size, paper, number of spreads and the cover all change the cost.
- Delivery — how many edited photos you receive, and how quickly.
Where it is worth spending
If your budget is tight, keep coverage of the main ceremony and a good highlight film, and trim extras such as a second album. Photographs of the rituals and of your families are the part you cannot recreate later.
Reading a package
Look for what is not listed: travel outside the city, extra hours, drone permits and raw files. A clear quote names all of them. Ours does — see our films and stories for the kind of work each package delivers.
Questions couples ask
How far in advance should we book?
For peak wedding season, three to six months ahead is safest — popular dates go first.
Is an advance payment needed to confirm the date?
Yes, most studios ask for an advance to hold your date, with the balance before or after the event.
