Backyard Studio Official's current Essential wedding package costs AED 7,500 and combines one photographer with one videographer for three hours. It is designed for intimate ceremonies, court weddings and nikahs that need both photo and full-event video coverage.
We built this package after watching too many couples get burned by the cheap end of the Dubai market: single shooters with no backup camera, "unlimited photos" delivered with zero editing, and galleries that arrive six weeks late. Founders Fahad Iqbal Butt and Syed Mazhar Zaidi set one rule for Essential — cut the hours, never the standards.

AFFORDABLE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY — FAQs
How much is the Essential wedding package in Dubai?
The current Essential package is AED 7,500. It combines one photographer and one videographer for three hours, 30–40 edited photos, a full event video, same-day RAW data and final delivery in 10–15 working days.
What should I compare in a lower-cost wedding package?
Check whether both photo and video are included, the named crew, coverage hours, edited photo count, video format, revision policy, RAW-file terms and delivery date. Ask for every item in writing before paying a deposit.
What is included in the AED 7,500 Essential wedding package?
One professional photographer, one videographer, three hours of coverage, 30–40 edited photos, an online drive link, a full event video in 1920×1080, same-day RAW data and final delivery in 10–15 working days.
Is an affordable package good enough for my wedding?
Essential is designed around three hours and a two-person photo/video crew. If your itinerary needs more locations, more simultaneous coverage, albums, Reels or documentary interviews, compare the Silver, Gold and Platinum scopes before choosing.
Should I hire a freelance photographer in Dubai instead?
Freelancers can be AED 300–500 cheaper, but check three things: backup equipment, a written contract with delivery dates, and a UAE trade licence (required for paid photography work). A studio booking gets you all three plus a replacement photographer if yours is ever ill — a freelancer who cancels the morning of your wedding has no backup.
Can I see the difference between budget and premium results?
The Essential package uses the same photographers, cameras, and editing pipeline as our premium weddings — the difference is coverage (hours and crew size), not quality. What changes with bigger packages: videography, drone aerials, same-day teasers, and more locations covered.
