Additional photo shoot (late afternoon, night shoot, etc.)

  • R1500 – R2800/hour

This is the per-hour-rate for additional wedding photo shoot not covered on the day of the wedding. A wedding – one of the most beautiful and memorable moments in a person's life – can be quite exhausting. Hence, couples often opt for a separate photo shoot on another day when they are rested, looking their best. The photo shoot is often carried out in the late afternoon an/or at night when the light conditions are particularly favourable to create magical results. For additional wedding photo shoot, expect to pay between R1500/hour and R2800/hour.

Wedding video

  • R10,000 – R20,000

This is the price of a wedding video. The price depends on how many hours of coverage do you want (do you want to cover only the wedding ceremony or the ceremony and the reception) and your location. More experienced videographers cost more. The price includes video coverage on the wedding, all editing work, and a digital video file. Travel time, drone footage, extra edits, etc. are charged extra. Wedding video costs range between R10,000 and R20,000 with an average of R15,000.
