2026 Pre-Wedding Shoot Trends to Watch Out For

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. How much does a pre-wedding shoot cost in Delhi?
The photography package usually starts from ?15,000 and can go up to ?1 Lakh+ depending on the photographer's experience. If you book a private set (like The Perfect Location), add another ?15,000 - ?25,000 for the venue.

Q2. Are drones allowed for pre-wedding shoots in Delhi?
Delhi is a highly restricted "Red Zone" for drones due to security reasons. Places like CP, India Gate, and Safdarjung strictly prohibit drones. You can only use drones safely in private sets located in Faridabad or Gurugram.

Q3. Do we need permissions to shoot at public monuments?
Yes. While taking photos with a mobile phone is free, using professional DSLRs, light stands, and reflectors at ASI-protected monuments (like Sunder Nursery or Humayun's Tomb) requires a paid permit.
