Wedding Photography and Videography Packages in Durban

Our wedding photography and videography packages in Durban offer different ways to preserve your day: still photographs, moving images and meaningful sound. Choose by the memories you want to revisit and the photographs and films you’ll receive you will use; Our packages range from R18 500 to R38 000, with photo and film options higher in that range.

How should you choose wedding photography and videography packages in Durban?

We like to begin with a simple question: what do you want to experience again? Photographs let you pause on an expression, print a portrait and browse moments at your own pace. Film adds movement and sound, such as the rhythm of an entrance or a voice you want to hear again.

You do not need to choose everything to have a meaningful record of your day. A photography-only collection can be exactly right. If you are already committed to both services and need help with the day’s coordination, use our separate photo and video planning guide. Here, the focus is what to buy and why.

When is Essence the strongest value choice?

Essence starts from R18 500 and is photography only, with full-day coverage of up to 10 hours. It includes two photographers, drone photos, 800+ edited photographs, a complimentary engagement shoot, an A4 leather album, USB and online gallery. Teaser photos arrive within 48 hours, with the final gallery within four weeks.

Choose it when photographs are your central priority and film is not something you expect to revisit. Two photographers are not equivalent to a photographer and videographer; their attention serves still images. Essence does not include a wedding film or drone video.

An included album may be particularly relevant if you want a physical keepsake rather than another digital product to organise later. Ask about the album process and any requested changes, but do not assume an additional charge or a free upgrade without confirmation.

When does Story make sense for photo and film?

Our Story package brings photography and film together. It provides up to 10 hours with one photographer and one videographer, drone photo and video, 800+ edited photographs and an eight-minute wedding film. Speeches and audio are captured, and a complimentary engagement shoot is included.

It also includes an A4 leather album, USB and online gallery, teaser photos within 48 hours and final delivery within six weeks. This combination can suit couples who want a tangible photographic record alongside a wedding film without choosing the longest listed coverage.

Ask how speech audio is used and what is delivered separately. “Speeches and audio captured” should not be interpreted as a promise of every full-length standalone recording. If a complete speech or ceremony edit is essential, make that a specific request for the quote.

When is Relive worth considering?

Our Relive package gives you longer photo and film coverage: up to 12 hours, a team of four, 1,000+ edited photographs and drone photo and video. It includes a 12-minute wedding film, a 60-second hype recap and a separate 2–3 minute hype recap film, plus a complimentary engagement shoot.

Teaser photos arrive within 24 hours, with final gallery and film within four weeks. Consider whether you will use the longer film, both recaps and extended coverage. More photographs and films you’ll receive have value when they match your viewing and sharing habits, not merely because the list is longer.

Ask how the team of four will be assigned to your wedding. Do not infer a specific photographer-to-videographer split. An album and USB are not listed as Relive inclusions, so confirm any physical products you want instead of assuming every item from another package transfers.

How can you compare value without inventing a film price?

All our wedding packages fall within R18 500–R38 000. Essence starts from R18 500; Story and Relive sit higher in that range. Do not calculate a supposed video add-on cost by subtracting the starting photography figure from another assumed amount. The packages differ in multiple ways.

Compare our wedding packages (R18 500–R38 000), then request a quote for your chosen scope. Use the actual proposal to weigh the extra media and coverage against your budget. Our full package inclusions guide is useful for a side-by-side check.

Watch complete examples on the wedding films page. A longer running time does not automatically make a film more meaningful. Notice storytelling, voices you can hear clearly and whether the format is something you can imagine enjoying repeatedly.

Which photographs and films you’ll receive will you genuinely use?

Choose your top two priorities before discussing optional additions. If you love printed photographs but rarely watch video, a larger film collection may not earn its place. If voices are central to your memories, ask precise audio questions before allocating money elsewhere.

Can you customise instead of choosing the largest collection?

Talk to us about a custom package. Describe the result you want rather than requesting a vague upgrade: a particular event covered, a physical product or a specific film deliverable. Ask for the revised scope in writing, including delivery expectations. Customisation should make the fit clearer, not leave the inclusions uncertain.

The optional 68cm 360 Spin Booth can be added to any package as guest entertainment. It does not replace photography or wedding film. Drone coverage also remains subject to safe, lawful flying, weather and permissions; keep the essential record independent of any aerial shot.
