Frequently asked questions

Hiring wedding photographers typically costs between R1,500 and R32,000+, with an average of R5,500. Pricing depends on the photographer's experience, the hours of coverage, the number of final edited images and any additional services such as engagement shoots, albums or a second photographer. Reviewing portfolios is a good way to find a style that matches the feel of your wedding.

The wedding photographers offer a range of styles including documentary (candid, unposed), traditional (formal posed shots), fine art, editorial and a blend of styles. For the best experience, review each photographer's portfolio to find a style that matches the couple's vision.

Most wedding photographers offer packages ranging from four hours (ceremony and reception) to full-day coverage of 10 to 12 hours. Some also offer engagement shoots and next-day sessions. It is worth discussing the wedding schedule with the photographer to determine the right amount of coverage.

Most wedding photographers deliver edited digital images within four to eight weeks after the wedding, though this varies. Some offer sneak peeks or a small selection of images within a few days. Albums and prints are usually available as add-ons. Gig Heaven recommends confirming delivery timelines when booking.

Wedding photographers are among the first vendors to be fully booked for popular dates, especially peak-season weekends. It is advisable to secure your preferred photographer six to twelve months in advance. Midweek and off-season dates may have more flexibility.

Booking as early as possible increases the chance of securing your supplier's availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many suppliers also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged bookings for clients with just a few hours' notice.

Discuss your requirements using our messaging system or join a video meeting (like a Zoom-call) to speak face-to-face.

Once you agree to the contract you will be asked to pay a 10% booking fee to confirm the booking, with the balance payable directly to the supplier by the due date you've agreed on.
