Adelaide Wedding Photography and Videography Prices: 2026 Guide
Wedding photography starts at $770 including GST for two hours. Solo hybrid coverage, with one operator switching between photography and selected video for a short highlight film, starts at $1,023 including GST for two hours.
Longer coverage is priced by the hour. This can suit an elopement, ceremony, portraits or the key part of a larger wedding without forcing every couple into a full-day package.
The guide below explains the verified starting prices, inclusions and boundaries. For the main service page, see Adelaide wedding photography and video.
Need a wedding coverage quote?
Send the wedding date, venue or region, approximate timeline, and whether you need photography only, solo hybrid coverage or a dedicated photo-video setup.
The quote can then state the hours, crew model and exact deliverables clearly.
Current wedding coverage prices
- Photography only: $770 including GST for two hours. Additional coverage is $385 including GST per hour. The local minimum is two hours.
- Four hours of photography: $1,540 including GST.
- Solo hybrid photo plus a short highlight film: $1,023 including GST for two hours. Additional coverage is $511.50 including GST per hour. The local minimum is two hours.

Photography coverage can include the ceremony, family and group photographs, guest candids, couple portraits, all suitable final edited images, online gallery delivery, personal printing and sharing rights, and guidance on choosing the coverage window.
Solo hybrid means one operator switching between still photography and video during the booked window. It includes an edited photo gallery and a short edited highlight film from selected moments captured during that window. It is not the same as a dedicated photographer and videographer working simultaneously.
What changes the price of wedding coverage?
- Coverage time: more hours means more time photographing or filming and more material to edit.
- Photography only or solo hybrid: hybrid adds selected video capture and a short edited highlight film to the edited photo gallery.
- Travel and location: regional weddings are quoted around the actual location, travel time and coverage plan. Travel can change the minimum booking.
- Film requirements: complete ceremony or speeches films, multicamera capture, professional audio, raw footage and a dedicated videographer are not standard solo-hybrid inclusions. Ask for a separate quote if they matter.
- Drone requirements: drone coverage is quoted separately and depends on the venue, airspace, weather, timing and required approvals.
Planning your coverage window?
Start with the moments you would regret missing. Send the date, venue or region, approximate timeline and whether you need photography only or solo hybrid coverage. If continuous ceremony or speeches films matter, say so before the quote is prepared.

Which wedding coverage option fits?
- Photography only: an edited gallery of still photographs from the booked window.
- Solo hybrid photo plus a short highlight film: an edited photo gallery plus a concise moving record of selected moments from the same booked window.
- Dedicated photography and videography: request a separate quote when simultaneous coverage, complete ceremony or speeches films, professional audio or multicamera production is essential.
- Drone coverage: quoted separately because venue, airspace, weather, timing and approvals can change what is possible.
What to send for an accurate wedding quote
A rough timeline is enough for the first estimate. Include:
- Wedding date.
- Venue or region.
- Approximate ceremony and reception timeline.
- The part of the day you most want covered.
- Photography only, solo hybrid, or a dedicated photo-video setup.
- Whether complete ceremony or speeches films matter.
- Whether drone coverage is of interest.
The written quote should state the booked hours, crew model and exact deliverables before the date is secured.
Candid coverage
Date, venue or region, and the approximate ceremony and reception timeline.
Formal moments
Photography only, solo hybrid, or a dedicated photo-video setup.
Reusable content
The moments, people and film deliverables that matter most to you.
A practical way to choose your coverage window
- Two hours: can suit an elopement, ceremony, family photographs and a focused portrait session when the locations and schedule allow.
- Three to four hours: can give more room for arrivals, ceremony, group photographs, portraits, candids and venue details.
- Longer coverage: can be quoted when getting ready, reception events, speeches or the dance floor need to be included.
These are planning examples, not guaranteed shot lists. The final plan depends on the ceremony length, travel between locations, light, venue rules and the couple’s priorities.

FAQs
Wedding pricing questions, answered
Current 2026 pricing lists photography at $770 including GST for two hours, with additional local coverage at $385 including GST per hour. The two-hour figure is the current local minimum. Regional travel or a different timeline can change the final written quote.
Solo hybrid photography plus a short highlight film starts at $1,023 including GST for two hours, then $511.50 including GST per additional hour. One operator switches between stills and video, so the couple must identify which moments take priority in each format before booking.
It can cover the ceremony, family and group photographs, guest candids and couple portraits that fit the agreed timeline. The current wording includes all suitable final edited photographs, online gallery delivery and personal printing and sharing rights. The written quote should confirm any different usage need.
No. Solo hybrid is a short edited highlight built from selected moments during the booked window. Complete ceremony or speech films, professional audio, multi-camera capture and a dedicated videographer need a separate scope. Couples should name those requirements before comparing a hybrid quote with full videography.
There is no universal drone inclusion. Aerial coverage is quoted separately and depends on the venue, airspace, weather, timing and required approvals. A couple should provide the exact venue and desired aerial purpose early, because a request cannot be treated as a guaranteed flight.
The current wording promises all suitable final edited photographs rather than a fixed minimum. The number changes with coverage length, the timeline and what happens during the booking. Couples should compare selection quality and event scope instead of assuming a high image count means broader coverage.
Compare hours, number of operators, still-image delivery, exact film length and contents, audio, ceremony and speech coverage, drone, travel, gallery, usage rights and delivery commitments. A short solo-hybrid film and a dedicated two-person full-film package solve different problems, even when both say photo and video.
Send the date, venue or region, approximate ceremony and reception timeline, must-have people and moments, and whether the priority is photography only, solo hybrid or a dedicated photo-video setup. State complete ceremony, speeches or professional audio needs explicitly before the quote is prepared.
