# FAQ: Everything, Answered

If it isn't here, it's one WhatsApp message away.

## Booking

**How much does a shoot cost?**

In the Maldives, sessions on a local island start at US$180 for a 60-minute portrait and US$300 for a 90-minute couples shoot, and weddings run US$1,200 to US$2,800. Boat trips and resort fees are extra. Send your dates and island and we'll confirm the exact price within 24 hours. You pay nothing until you confirm.

**How far ahead should we book?**

A week's notice is comfortable in high season; last-minute often works too. Message us on WhatsApp with your dates and island and we'll confirm same day.

**How do we pay?**

A small deposit confirms the booking; the balance is due after you've seen your preview gallery. Cards, bank transfer, and cash are all fine.

**Can you shoot at our resort or a sandbank?**

Yes. We cover nearby resorts and sandbanks by boat from our island outlets. Tell us where you're staying and we'll arrange the trip.

**What if the weather turns?**

We watch the forecast with you and reschedule around it. If conditions spoil the shoot, our reshoot promise applies.

## The shoot

**We're awkward in front of cameras. Will it show?**

That's most of our guests. Posing is relaxed and guided, and we shoot until it feels natural.

**What should we wear?**

Light fabrics and soft colors photograph beautifully against sand and turquoise. We share a short styling guide on WhatsApp once you book.

**Is the drone included?**

Drone passes are part of couples, wedding, and drone experiences, flown by licensed pilots when conditions and local rules allow.

**How long is a session?**

Most sessions run 60–90 minutes. Proposals and weddings are planned to their own timeline.

## Your photos

**How fast do we get our photos?**

Your full edited gallery arrives within 48 hours, with print-ready files plus social crops.

**How many photos do we get?**

It depends on the experience: from 30+ for portrait sessions to 60+ for weddings. Every favorite you pick gets a full edit.

**Can we ask for edit changes?**

Yes. Revision requests are part of the service, not an extra. We're not done until you love them.
