How much does an event photographer cost in Dubai? 2026 prices

The short answer: with ANAKHIN Production, event photography starts at AED 1,200 for up to two hours, and a photographer plus videographer team starts at AED 2,800. Here is what each package includes and what changes the price.

Event photography prices

One photographer costs AED 1,200 for up to two hours, AED 1,500 for three hours, AED 2,000 for four hours and AED 4,000 for a full eight-hour day. Edited photos are delivered the next day.

Photo and video prices

One person shooting both photo and video costs AED 2,000 for two hours, AED 3,000 for three, AED 3,500 for four and AED 6,500 for eight.

A photographer plus a dedicated videographer costs AED 2,800 for two hours, AED 3,600 for three, AED 4,500 for four and AED 7,500 for eight. This is the right choice for conferences, concerts and large events.

Add-ons

A reel delivered on the same day adds AED 500, each additional reel AED 300 and a 2–3 minute aftermovie AED 1,500. An extra hour costs AED 500 for photo or AED 800 for photo and video. Events in Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, Ras Al Khaimah and the other emirates add AED 250 for travel.

What changes the price

Time on site. Coverage is counted from arrival at the venue, so a clear programme keeps the booking short and the budget predictable.

One person or two. A single shooter covers smaller events well; a second person means stage, guests and details are covered at the same time.

Deliverables. Photos only, raw video footage, a same-day reel or an edited aftermovie each take a different amount of work after the event.

Exhibitions and stands

Exhibition stands have their own packages: half a day with a same-day reel is AED 3,500, one full day is AED 5,500 and three days with a final recap film is AED 10,000.
