Booking a photographer from across the world is an act of trust, so we put our prices in plain sight. Thomas Kart Studio is a husband-and-wife team — Thomas behind the camera and drone, Angela directing the moments and the light — with 20 years of weddings, elopements and family sessions on Samui and the surrounding islands. We are ranked MyWed Top 3 in Thailand and Top 30 family photographers worldwide, with a perfect 5.0 from 14 verified couples. That experience is baked into every package below.

Whether you are eloping barefoot on a Bophut beach at golden hour, exchanging vows at a Choeng Mon resort, or gathering three generations for a family shoot, you will find a tier that fits. Pricing starts at 10,000 THB for photo and 38,000 THB for cinematic video, with Basic, Premium and Platinum levels for each. Everything is delivered fast — a teaser in 1–3 days and your full gallery in 1–2 weeks on the higher tiers — and secured with a simple 30% deposit.

Photography Packages — from 10,000 THB

Our photo tiers scale with the length and ambition of your day. Every package includes professional editing, a private online gallery, and full personal print rights to your images — never watermarked, never drip-fed. Coverage is shot by a senior photographer (usually Thomas), not a junior stand-in, and colour-graded in our signature natural, emotion-led style that reads more like film stills than stiff posing. Basic suits proposals, short elopements and couple sessions: roughly 2 hours of coverage, one location, and a curated set of fully edited high-resolution images delivered within a week. Premium is built for a full wedding day — extended coverage from preparations through the first dance, multiple locations across Samui, more final images, and a faster turnaround. Couples who want the works choose Platinum.

  • Basic photo — from 10,000 THB: ~2 hrs, one location, curated edited gallery, online delivery, print rights
  • Premium photo — mid-tier: full-day coverage, multiple locations, larger edited gallery, teaser in 1–3 days
  • Platinum photo — 250,000 THB: flagship full-day experience, second shooter, drone, premium album, priority 1–2 week delivery
  • Included in every tier: professional retouching, private gallery, high-resolution downloads, personal print rights

Cinematic Video Packages — from 38,000 THB

A photo freezes the moment; a film lets you hear the vows and the laughter again. Our video work is fully in-house — no outsourced editors, no stock-music shortcuts — and it is what made one couple say the result felt "just like a movie." We shoot with cinema-grade cameras, capture clean audio of your speeches and ceremony, and grade the footage to match the warmth of your photos. Basic video delivers a polished highlight film of your day, ideal as a companion to a photo package. Premium adds a second camera operator, longer coverage and a longer edit so nothing important is cut. Platinum is our cinematic flagship at 220,000 THB — multi-camera coverage, drone aerials over the bay, documentary-length and highlight edits, and the kind of storytelling that survives being watched on every anniversary.

  • Basic video — from 38,000 THB: highlight film of your day, single operator, licensed music, cinematic grade
  • Premium video — mid-tier: second operator, extended coverage, longer highlight edit, clean ceremony & speech audio
  • Platinum video — 220,000 THB: multi-camera, drone aerials, full-length documentary plus highlight edit
  • Photo + Video bundles available — combine any tiers and save versus booking separately

Add-Ons, Deposit & How to Book

Most couples tailor a package with a few add-ons rather than jumping a whole tier. Drone aerials of the Gulf of Thailand, a second shooter for two angles during the ceremony, a printed fine-art photobook, extra coverage hours, a make-up artist from our in-house team, or a next-day teaser can all be added à la carte — just tell us what matters most and we will quote it transparently before you commit. Booking is refreshingly simple. We hold your date with a 30% deposit, with the balance due close to the event. There is no pressure and no hidden surcharge for travel to Koh Phangan or Koh Tao within reason. Send us your date, island and rough plan on WhatsApp and we will confirm availability and a written quote, usually the same day.

  • Drone coverage — add cinematic aerials of beach, bay and resort
  • Second shooter — two perspectives on key moments
  • Fine-art photobook — premium printed album of your gallery
  • Extra hours, in-house make-up & next-day teaser available on request
  • Deposit: 30% to secure your date, balance before the event
  • Travel to Koh Phangan & Koh Tao available — ask for an island quote

Frequently asked questions

How much does a wedding photographer cost on Koh Samui?

At Thomas Kart Studio, photography starts at 10,000 THB for a short session or proposal and scales up to our 250,000 THB Platinum package for a full flagship wedding day with a second shooter, drone and album. Cinematic video starts at 38,000 THB and reaches 220,000 THB for our multi-camera Platinum film. Most full-day couples land in the mid Premium range and add a few à-la-carte extras.

What deposit do you need to secure our date?

We hold your date with a 30% deposit, with the remaining balance due shortly before your wedding or session. Samui dates in the November–March high season book out months ahead, so we recommend confirming early. Once your deposit is in, your date is locked exclusively for you.

Can I combine photo and video in one package?

Yes — and most couples do. Because our photo, video, drone and make-up are all in-house, we can bundle any photo tier with any video tier and price it below what booking the two separately would cost. You get one coordinated team on the day, one consistent look across stills and film, and a single point of contact.

Are drone and second shooter included or extra?

They are included in our Platinum tiers and available as add-ons to Basic and Premium. Drone aerials suit beach and resort weddings across Samui, Phangan and Tao, while a second shooter is popular for larger ceremonies where you want both the vows and the guests' reactions captured at once. Just ask and we'll quote it before you book.

How quickly will we get our photos and video?

You'll receive a teaser of standout images within 1–3 days. Full edited galleries are delivered within 1–2 weeks on our Premium and Platinum tiers, with Basic sessions typically ready within a week. Cinematic films follow shortly after, fully graded and edited in-house — never rushed, but never left waiting for months either.
