Wedding packages start at NPR 75,000, and there is no travel charge anywhere in Butwal.

Butwal is where the studio began, and it is still where the albums are put together. The same team covers the rituals at home, the ceremony and the reception, in photographs and on film. The studio also takes pre-wedding and post-wedding shoots, bridal portraits, engagements and commercial work for Butwal businesses.

What we photograph

The whole wedding, not only the ceremony.

Most weddings we photograph in Butwal are Hindu ceremonies spread over two or three days: mehendi and haldi at home, the janti's arrival, kanyadaan, sindoor and the farewell, then a reception in a hotel or party palace. Much of what families remember happens in the courtyard rather than on the stage, so home rituals are part of the coverage, not an extra.

We do not pose people through the ritual. If the priest is talking, the priest is talking. The portraits happen in the time we ask for before the reception, and that is the only part of the day we run. We also photograph Newar weddings, court registrations, destination weddings and pre-wedding shoots, and cover weddings across Rupandehi, Palpa, Nawalparasi and Kapilvastu from this studio.

Pre-wedding shoots from Butwal usually go to the Tinau riverbanks, the hills along the Siddhartha Highway towards Palpa, or Lumbini — close enough to do in a morning, different enough to give an album range. Planning a pre-wedding shoot around Butwal.

Venues

Wedding venues in and around Butwal.

We walk a venue before the wedding when it is in the city, so the first time we see the light at the hour of your ceremony is not on the day.

Prices

From NPR 75,000.

Wedding collections start at NPR 75,000, and the range across everything we offer is NPR 75,000 - NPR 300,000. Four things move the price: how many days you want covered, how many photographers and cinematographers, whether you want a film and how long, and the album. Inside Butwal there is no travel charge; anywhere else, travel is a separate line on the quote, agreed before you book.

Comparing us with other studios in the city? Our guide on how to choose the best wedding photographer in Butwal sets out the kinds of photographer here, the prices they publish, and the questions to ask each of them — us included.

How it works

From the first call to the last delivery.

  1. Meet us in Ramnagar

    Come for tea at the studio or call. Half an hour is usually enough to see full albums, talk through your rituals and know whether we are the right people for your wedding.

  2. Get a written quote

    Team size, hours of coverage and exactly what you receive, on one page. Collections start at NPR 75,000, and a 30% retainer holds the date.

  3. We plan with your family

    We agree the timeline with whoever is running the day, and walk the venue beforehand when it is in Butwal: where the light falls at the hour of the ceremony, where the family will stand, where the janti arrives.

  4. The wedding

    The same team photographs and films every event — the rituals at home, the ceremony and the reception — so the album and the film tell one story.

  5. Delivery

    A preview within 48 hours, the edited gallery within 2 to 4 weeks and the wedding film within 4 to 6 weeks.

Questions

Asked before booking in Butwal.

Where is Wedding Story Nepal’s Butwal studio?

At Butwal-10 Ramnagar, Butwal, Lumbini Province 32907, Nepal. The phone is answered at any hour, every day, on +977-9867335830. If you want to see albums, call ahead so the photographer who would shoot your wedding is there.

What can we book at the Butwal photo studio besides a wedding?

Pre-wedding and post-wedding couple shoots (two hours from NPR 25,000), bridal portrait sessions (NPR 15,000 to NPR 45,000), engagement ceremonies, a wedding film on its own (from NPR 60,000), and commercial work for businesses — product, food, real estate, corporate, event and fashion photography from NPR 8,000. We do not take passport or ID photos; a neighbourhood studio prints those the same day.

Do you cover Tilottama, Bhairahawa, Lumbini and Palpa?

Yes. Tilottama, Bhairahawa and Lumbini are a short drive from the studio, and we photograph weddings across Rupandehi, Palpa, Nawalparasi and Kapilvastu — and in all 77 districts of Nepal. Travel outside Butwal is quoted as its own line before you book.

How far ahead should we book a wedding photographer in Butwal?

For the busy months — Mangsir, Magh, Falgun and Baisakh — ask two to three months ahead, because the most auspicious dates are the first to go. Outside those months a few weeks is often enough.

How long until we receive our photos and film?

A preview within 48 hours, the edited gallery within 2 to 4 weeks and the wedding film within 4 to 6 weeks.

Do you photograph pre-wedding shoots around Butwal?

Yes. Couples shoot along the Tinau river, in the hills on the Siddhartha Highway towards Palpa, and in Lumbini. For Lumbini, check the site’s photography rules before the day; we will plan the timing around the light and the crowds.

Do you film as well as photograph?

Yes. The same team covers stills and film, which is how the two end up telling one story. Films range from a short highlight to the full ceremony, and drone footage is planned in advance where the venue and weather allow.

Tell us the date.

We will tell you whether we are free, what it would cost and who would be at your wedding — usually the same day.
