Pricing & Packages

Your vision won’t be the same as the last couple, and we know this. Our packages are built around your vibe, and every charge is added exactly to what you need. Most of our couples in the USA start their packages at around $4,000, and can go as far as $15,000.
No travel charges are added onto the contract without your approval.

Most families come back. We are glad when they do.

When the baraat leaves

We don’t end our client relationships so easily. We end the wedding successfully does not, in any way, mean that we wash our hands off you.  We are available for photography and videography of any ceremonies in life you find relevant. We also offer services for maternity shoots in Charlotte, as well as gender reveals, baby showers, and newborn photography all around Charlotte, NC. We love our clients best when they are the most comfortable behind the camera. And for that comfort, we do offer you the same photographers you had for your previous shoots.
