If you’re planning your dream wedding in 2025, one of the most important decisions you’ll make is choosing the right wedding photographer — someone who can capture your story, emotions, and magic in timeless frames. But with so many styles and services available, the big question is:
How much does wedding photography cost in India in 2025?
In this blog, we break down current pricing trends, what affects the cost, and how Weddings by Sonders offers value-driven, premium destination photography starting at ₹1.5 lakh.
Average Cost of Wedding Photography in India (2025)
| Service Type | Price Range (INR) |
|---|---|
| Candid Wedding Photography | ₹80,000 – ₹2,50,000 |
| Traditional Photography + Videography | ₹60,000 – ₹1,20,000 |
| Pre-Wedding Photoshoot | ₹40,000 – ₹1,00,000 |
| Cinematic Wedding Film | ₹1,00,000 – ₹3,50,000 |
| Drone Coverage | ₹20,000 – ₹60,000 |
| Destination Wedding Coverage (Full Team) | ₹1,50,000 – ₹5,00,000+ |
Factors That Influence Wedding Photography Pricing
1. Location of the Wedding
Photography in metropolitan cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore tends to be more expensive. Destination wedding photography in Goa or Udaipur, for example, can also have travel and stay costs added.
✅ At Weddings by Sonders, we offer all-inclusive destination packages with a base rate starting at ₹1.5L — no hidden charges.
2. Duration of Coverage
Are you hiring the photographer for just the wedding day or for all the events (mehendi, haldi, sangeet, reception)? The more days, the higher the cost — but also the more memories captured.
3. Team Size
Some teams come with 1–2 photographers; others have 5+ including cinematographers, drone pilots, and editors.
🎥 Our premium package includes 2 candid photographers, 1 cinematographer, 1 traditional photographer, drone coverage, and dedicated editing crew.
4. Type of Photography
- Candid photography is artistic and storytelling-led — and usually more expensive.
- Traditional photography is more structured and affordable.
- Cinematic videography (with storytelling, drone, and music overlay) is the costliest — but also the most breathtaking.
Why Invest in a Premium Photographer?
- 💎 Photos live longer than your decor
- 🎞️ Videos capture voices, laughter, and movement
- 🧡 Your grandkids will thank you for it
Unlike decor and catering, photography is the one thing that remains after the big day ends.
