Wedding Photography Costs in Nepal: Complete Pricing Guide 2026
Across Nepal, quotes run from about NPR 15,000 for a single photographer at a short event to more than NPR 100,000 for multi-day photo and film coverage. Our four packages run from NPR 75,000 to NPR 300,000. Below: what moves the price, and what each of our packages does and does not include.
Every package price is on this page. There is no travel charge in Butwal, Tilottama, Bhairahawa or the Kathmandu Valley; travel and any stay anywhere else are quoted as their own line before you book.
Four packages, from six hours with one photographer to two full days with photographers and cinematographers.
Hours, days, team size, film, album and travel. Compare quotes on those, not on package names.

Budget Planning Tips for Wedding Photography in Nepal
When to Book
Weddings follow the auspicious dates (sait) set from the Nepali calendar:
- Get the sait first: fix the date with your priest, then book the photographer
- Peak months: for Mangsir, Magh, Falgun and Baisakh, book two to three months ahead at the least
- Multi-day and destination weddings: book earlier, so travel and stays can be planned
- The most popular saits: book as soon as the date is fixed
- Festival months: few weddings fall during Dashain and Tihar, so plan around them
Cost-Saving Strategies
Ways to spend the photography budget well:
- Match the hours to the rituals you need photographed
- Ask about weekday and off-season dates when you request quotes
- Book photography and film together rather than separately
- Choose the album you want now; extra albums can be ordered later
- Compare complete galleries, not only highlight reels, before paying an advance
- Get every inclusion, travel charge and delivery date in writing
