The cost of a Thailand wedding photographer can vary depending on experience, location, and coverage. At Daniel Baci Photography, full-day wedding photography packages start at $1,600 USD (approximately 50,000 THB). This includes professional coverage of your entire wedding day by an experienced destination wedding photographer based in Thailand. For customized packages or to check availability, feel free to contact me directly.

Feeding Your Photographer

-YES, if my team and I are at your Thailand wedding longer then 6 hours of coverage, please, please give us a 10-15 minute break around dinner and have food prepared for us or just simply invite us to grab a plate and eat from the buffet. We work very hard, running around in the heat here in Thailand and when dinner arrives we start to feel weak and dehydrated, we are not picky on what we eat or drink, fried rice and cold water is fine. Once feed we can remain focused, alert and creative!.

Deliverables

Shipping of an Hard Drives, sd cards, usb drives or photo albums of your Thailand wedding will have a small shipping fee, fee’s vary in price depending on how you’d will it handled (Express, registered, FedX) and your home Country. Please visit Thailands post website for pricing. – Any bank or transfer fee’s client’s must pay, but we love cash so saves us both.

Travel 

Travel Fee’s: We are Phuket based so any wedding within Phuket there is no charge, however if your Thailand wedding is in Koh Samui, Krabi or elsewhere in Thailand then travel charges apply. The cost depends on where in Thailand and what wedding photography and/or wedding videography packages you require, in simple terms how many staff members do I need to travel with me. 

– YES, but depending how much you want changed is what I will charge “NO FREE RE-EDITING”. Also remember due to the amount of work I have I dont save your footage for that long after edit, as soon as you see sample via media share or Youtube I will then shortly after delete your footage to make room for other projects.

– After I have sent you your downloadable link(s) or sent your USB/SD/Hard drives and you confirm via email that you have received the product I only keep the images/videos on file saved on my HDD and/or google drive for 4-6 weeks before I delete all finished and RAW images… Please once you have received your links please download and make copies because we can not be responsible for any lost images/videos because you forgot to download or make copies and do to the amount of work flow we have we can not hold on to your images/videos for much longer then described above.

I always tell my client 8-16 weeks depending on the time of year, it all depends on how busy we are sometimes less but rarely more, plus I do like to take my time in post production but standard time in high season is 8-16 weeks and could be a little longer if I or my staff have any public holidays, personal leave/sickness, public or personal holiday’s, also sometimes we just get backed up, normally with the video editing so could take up to 7+ months…. Everything is stated in our wedding contract agreement so please acknowledge this before hiring us, thank you.

Yes! I am a Phuket based photographer, but spend 50% of my time in Koh Samui and Krabi but can photograph or film your destination weddings all over Thailand, Asia or anywhere you would like, we have covered weddings in Sri Lanka, Bali, Maldives, Hong Kong, Italy, Singapore and USA so far so I’d be more then happy to travel to your destination wedding.

I use the best cameras on the market, 2x Sony A74  with Sony Lens. 

Please send me your details and I will make our wedding contract/agreement for you and we require a $80-$300 deposit to confirm your booking.

As a film producer and a business owner we want to please our client as much as we can, however as a film maker we know what works and what doesn’t for a film. As a film maker we have 100% creative control (as stated in our Wedding contract) our job is to try and deliver you the best product and a song can really make or break a video. What I ask is that you select 5 songs, and out of the 5 songs you select I try and see if any of them work with the footage, in most cases at least 1 of them do however if none of them work I will let you know and we will make the song selections that fit your video the best.

A Wedding contract is just a legal agreement between us, although we would all love to live on just “trust”, you hiring a photographer or videographer from over sea’s may make you nervous so this contract with “all” my personal and company info on it will hopefully help you feel more conformable. The contract also states all the logistics that will protect you the client and me the supplier, in case anything corresponded is misunderstood etc., its just professional all photographers normally have one. Here take a look through a sample contract, this is what it will contain-click link–> Wedding contract

My couples come from all over the world for their destination Thailand wedding but most couples come from the following countries:

Hong Kong (35%)
Australia (35%)
Singapore (10%)
New Zealand (5%)

America (5%)

Everywhere else in the world (10%)

When I am not traveling around for wedding shoots I am a Phuket wedding photographer most of the time but I also call Koh Samui my 2nd home but Krabi weddings have become more popular too so I spend lots of time traveling around Thailand in the high season!.. I originally come from Cape Cod, MA., USA but moved to Phuket in 2009.

No sorry any wedding “inside” the country of Thailand I only accept THB (Thai Baht) currency, I may quote in USD sometimes as it is an easier global currency people understand but final payments must be in THB at the currency exchange rate at the time of quotation if quoted in a different currency or you can refer to the currency conversion rate stated in our contract/agreement.. For weddings outside of Thailand a seperate agreement can be made.

I started my photography career as an intern in 2009 but it wasnt till 2011 when I photographed my first wedding in Phuket and really took it seriously. I fell in love with wedding photography overnight!  

The cost of a destination wedding in Thailand can vary widely depending on your guest count, venue, and vendors. On average, a small to mid-size wedding can range from $5,000 to $35,000 USD ++. This includes the venue, catering, photographer, flowers, and basic coordination. Thailand is known for offering luxury wedding experiences at more affordable prices compared to Western countries. Check out a video I made here breaking down the costs of getting married in Thailand.

he best time for a wedding in Thailand is during the cool and dry season, which typically runs from November to April. This period offers the most comfortable weather with less rain—ideal for outdoor ceremonies and beach weddings. Keep in mind that December and January are popular months, so early booking is recommended.
