FAQ
Pre-Wedding Shoot Cost in Bangalore: Common Questions
How much does a pre-wedding shoot cost in Bangalore?+
A pre-wedding shoot in Bangalore costs ₹15,000–₹22,000 for a half-day at one location, ₹28,000–₹40,000 for the most-booked full-day shoot across two locations with a cinematic reel, and ₹45,000–₹65,000 for premium two-day cinematic coverage with drone. Destination pre-weddings to Coorg, Goa or Udaipur start at ₹55,000 plus travel and stay.
What is included in a pre-wedding shoot package in Bangalore?+
A standard Bangalore package includes the photographer's time, location scouting, 100–300 retouched high-resolution photos, an online gallery, and one cinematic reel on full-day packages. Outfit styling, makeup artist, props, drone and location permits are usually billed separately.
Are location permits included in the pre-wedding shoot price?+
No — permits are billed at actuals. Cubbon Park is free before 8 AM, Lalbagh charges around ₹500, Nandi Hills has a ₹250 entry, and luxury hotels like Leela or ITC charge ₹10,000–₹30,000 for in-property shoots. We tell you the exact fee for your chosen location before you book.
How much does a pre-wedding video or cinematic film cost extra?+
Adding a cinematic film costs ₹10,000–₹20,000 on top of a photo package because it needs a second shooter and 5–7 additional edit days. A 60-second reel with trending audio is included in most full-day packages at no extra cost.
Does a makeup artist cost extra for a pre-wedding shoot?+
Yes. MUA charges in Bangalore run ₹8,000–₹18,000 depending on the artist and whether you need on-location touch-ups between outfit changes. We work with 8+ trusted artists across HSR, Indiranagar and Jayanagar and can coordinate the booking for you.
Is a destination pre-wedding shoot worth the extra cost?+
If you want a distinct visual story — Coorg mist, Goa beaches, Hampi ruins or Udaipur palaces — yes, because Bangalore locations get repetitive across social feeds. Budget ₹55,000+ for the shoot plus travel, stay and a ₹5,000/day per-diem. Many couples split the difference by shooting at Nandi Hills or Chikmagalur instead.
When is the cheapest time to do a pre-wedding shoot in Bangalore?+
Weekday mornings between June and September are the cheapest — roughly 10–15% below peak. October to February gives the best light but books out fastest, so lock those dates 60 days ahead.
How far in advance should we book a pre-wedding shoot?+
Book 30 days ahead for weekday slots and 60 days for weekends in the October–February window. Destination shoots need 45–60 days so travel and stay can be arranged around the crew's calendar.
