Wedding Photography Packages in Seychelles — Your 2026 Pricing Guide

Seychelles has a way of making every couple feel like the world was built just for them. The granite boulders at Anse Source d'Argent on La Digue, the palm-fringed shores of Anse Lazio on Praslin, the secluded coves of Mahé — there is nowhere quite like it on earth for a wedding. Which is why, when couples reach out to us, one of the very first things they want to know is: "How much does wedding photography in Seychelles cost?"

It is a straightforward question, but the honest answer is that it depends — on your island, your coverage hours, whether you want photography only or photography and video, and what kind of wedding you are having. After 15 years of photographing couples across all three main islands, we have learnt that the couples who understand what goes into pricing make far better decisions and end up far happier.

So here is our complete, no-nonsense guide to wedding photography packages in Seychelles for 2026 & 2027.

What makes Seychelles wedding photography different from other destinations?

Before we talk about pricing, it is worth understanding what makes photographing a Seychelles wedding genuinely different — because it affects both the cost and the quality of what you receive.

The islands themselves are the challenge. Mahé, Praslin and La Digue are three distinct islands connected by ferry and light aircraft. If your ceremony is on La Digue and your reception dinner is on Praslin, that involves inter-island logistics that a photographer unfamiliar with the islands simply cannot navigate reliably. We have called these islands home since childhood. We know the ferry schedules, the hidden beaches that stay quiet until late morning, and exactly where the light falls during golden hour at Anse Source d'Argent in different seasons.

The tropical light is both beautiful and unforgiving. Midday sun in Seychelles is harsh. The difference between a photographer who knows how to work with it — positioning couples in open shade, reading the cloud cover, timing golden hour precisely — and one who doesn't shows immediately in the images. Local knowledge here is not a luxury, it is the difference between extraordinary photos and washed-out ones.

What affects the price of wedding photography in Seychelles?

Which island — Mahé, Praslin or La Digue

Each island is a different experience. Mahé is the largest, with the most resort options — Four Seasons, Constance Ephélia, Hilton Northolme, Carana Beach. Praslin is quieter, with Constance Lemuria, Raffles and Anse Lazio. La Digue is the smallest and most intimate — bicycle paths instead of roads, Anse Source d'Argent, and a pace of life that feels completely removed from the world.

For multi-island weddings — a ceremony on La Digue, portraits on Praslin, celebration dinner on Mahé — inter-island transfers and logistics are factored into the quote.

Coverage hours

An elopement ceremony on the beach at sunrise with just the two of you might need two to three hours. A full wedding day covering preparations, ceremony, portraits and reception needs eight to ten. More hours means more of your story is captured and more images delivered.

Photography only vs. photography and videography

This is the question couples wrestle with most. Our honest advice: if you are already spending the time and money to get married in Seychelles, having a film of your day is something you will be grateful for for the rest of your life. A photograph captures a moment frozen in time. A film captures the sound of the waves, the words of your vows, the laughter. The two together tell a complete story.

Combined photography and videography packages are more cost-effective than booking each separately, and we coordinate the two so nothing overlaps and nothing is missed.

The type of wedding

A symbolic beach ceremony with two witnesses is a completely different brief from a luxury resort wedding with 60 guests across two days. Both are wonderful — they simply require different coverage, different planning, and different packages.

Elopements in Seychelles

Elopements have grown significantly in Seychelles over the past few years, and for good reason. The islands are perfectly suited to intimate ceremonies — a quiet stretch of beach, the two of you, a few hours of photography, and then the rest of the day to yourselves. Elopement packages are among our most popular offerings and are priced accordingly.

What do Luminair Studio's Seychelles wedding packages include?

We build custom proposals for every couple rather than offering rigid fixed packages — your Seychelles wedding is not the same as anyone else's, and your quote should reflect that. Broadly, our packages cover:

Elopement packages are designed for intimate ceremonies on the beach or in nature, typically covering two to four hours with one photographer. You receive a curated gallery of fully edited images, online delivery, and a personal consultation to plan locations and timing around the best light.

Intimate wedding packages cover small ceremonies with close family and friends, usually a half-day. Ideal for resort symbolic ceremonies, beach weddings with a small guest list, or anniversary vow renewals.

Full wedding day packages provide all-day coverage from bridal preparations through to the reception, with options for a second photographer. These packages deliver comprehensive coverage with several hundred professionally edited images.

Photography and videography packages pair a photographer and videographer throughout the day, delivering both a full image gallery and a cinematic highlight film. For a Seychelles wedding, where every moment of the setting deserves to be captured in motion as well as stills, this combination is hard to beat.

Multi-day destination wedding packages cover welcome dinners, rehearsal evenings and full-day wedding coverage across multiple days, for couples celebrating over two or three days across the islands.

All packages include a pre-wedding planning consultation, location and timing guidance to make the most of the light, and professional editing in our signature style.

What does wedding photography in Seychelles cost?

We are transparent about this. We do not publish fixed price lists because a meaningful quote requires knowing your specific wedding plans. What we can share is that elopement and intimate wedding photography packages in Seychelles typically start from around €800–€1,000 for a few hours with one photographer, including our travel to the islands.

Full-day wedding photography packages start from around €2,000, with combined photography and videography packages starting from €3,000. Multi-island and multi-day weddings are quoted individually based on the logistics involved.

Every couple receives a personalised proposal within 24 hours of enquiring. We are always happy to talk through what makes sense for your plans and your budget before any commitment is made.

Which island should you get married on in Seychelles?

This question deserves its own answer, because the choice genuinely affects both your wedding experience and your photography.

Mahé is the main island and the most accessible, with the largest selection of luxury resorts and venues. It is the easiest for guests travelling from abroad to reach and offers the most varied scenery — rainforest interiors, dramatic coastline and sheltered bays.

Praslin is more intimate than Mahé, with a slower pace and extraordinary beaches. Anse Lazio regularly appears on lists of the world's most beautiful beaches, and the Vallée de Mai — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — provides a dramatic natural backdrop unlike anything else on earth. Constance Lemuria and Raffles are the standout venues here.

La Digue is the most remote and the most magical. Getting here involves a ferry from Praslin, and there are no cars — bicycles are how everyone gets around. Anse Source d'Argent, with its towering pink granite boulders and turquoise shallows, is arguably the most photographed beach in the world. Weddings on La Digue have an intimacy and otherworldliness that no other island quite matches.

Many couples choose to hold their ceremony on La Digue and their celebrations on Praslin or Mahé — which is entirely possible and something we navigate regularly.

When is the best time of year for a Seychelles wedding?

Seychelles has no bad time to visit — it is warm and beautiful year-round. That said, the calmest and driest months are generally April to May and October to November, which sit between the two monsoon seasons. These shoulder periods offer the best of everything: calm seas, manageable humidity, and the lush greenery that follows the rains.

July and August are the busiest months for Seychelles tourism, and luxury resort dates book up quickly. If you have a specific date in mind, enquiring early is always worthwhile.

How to book your Seychelles wedding photographer

The most important thing is to reach out as soon as you have a wedding date, even if other details are still being arranged. Prime dates on La Digue and Praslin — especially during the dry seasons — fill up quickly, and we take on a limited number of Seychelles weddings each season to maintain the personal attention every couple deserves.

To receive a personalised quote, simply tell us your wedding date, which island or islands you are planning to marry on, and a brief outline of what you have in mind. We will come back to you within 24 hours with a tailored proposal.

We have been telling love stories in these islands for over 15 years. We would love to tell yours.
