How Much Does Wedding Photography Cost in Johannesburg?
A direct breakdown of current MediaManiaK wedding photography and film pricing in Johannesburg, verified against live packages.
Short answer: Wedding photography and film from MediaManiaK in Johannesburg currently runs from R2,499 for a single hour of ceremony-only photography, up to R29,999 for a full twelve-hour day with a photographer and two videographers. Most couples booking combined photography and film land between R7,999 and R14,999, depending on hours of coverage and what is delivered.
What drives the price
Three things move the price more than anything else:
- Hours of coverage. Packages run from one hour (ceremony only) to twelve hours (first light to last dance).
- Photography, film, or both. A combined photo-and-film package costs more than either on its own, but less than booking two separate suppliers.
- What is delivered. A short highlight film costs less to include than a full cinematic film or a complete wedding movie with a second videographer.

What is typically included
Every package includes professionally edited images, with the number scaling from 40 images at the entry level up to 600 for a full-day booking. Where film is included, delivery ranges from a short highlight reel to a full wedding movie, and two-videographer packages add a second angle throughout the day.
Does travel or a second day cost extra?
Yes. Travel outside the standard service area and multi-day or destination weddings are quoted separately rather than built into the standard packages, since the scope varies too much to price as a fixed add-on.
Getting an exact price
Because the right package depends on the wedding’s schedule and what a couple wants to walk away with, the fastest way to get an exact number is to look at the current packages directly, or ask for a recommendation based on the day’s timeline.

Common questions
Is combined photo and film cheaper than booking separately?
Yes — a combined package costs more than a single discipline on its own, but less than commissioning two separate suppliers for the same day.
Do prices include editing?
Yes. Every package includes professionally edited, high-resolution images, and film packages include a finished, graded cut.
Can we book a package with two videographers?
Yes, at the twelve-hour coverage level, which adds a second angle throughout the day and supports a full wedding-movie deliverable.
