Here are answers to the most common questions I receive from couples and travelers planning their Zanzibar photoshoot.
I offer three main packages: Mini Package ($300 USD) with 30 minutes and 30 photos, Standard Package ($400 USD) with 1 hour and 70-80 photos plus 1 Instagram reel, and Premium Package ($600 USD) with up to 2.5 hours, 140+ photos, and 2-3 reels. All packages include professional editing, online gallery, transport, and personalized planning. Add-ons available: Drone ($200), Express 48h delivery ($100), Beach decoration ($150).
Most clients book about one month in advance, especially during peak season (June-October and December-February). However, I also accept same-day bookings when available. Contact me via WhatsApp (+48 515 710 975) as soon as you know your travel dates to secure your preferred time slot and location. A $100 USD prepayment is required to confirm your booking.
I specialize in Zanzibar's most stunning beaches including Jambiani Paje, Nungwi (perfect for sunsets), Kiwengwa, and exclusive hotel areas. I also have access to the island's only infinity pool with palm trees and ocean views — a truly unique location. I know the island inside out and will recommend the best spots based on your style, timing, and vision.
You'll receive your professionally edited photos within 7-10 days of your session in a beautiful online gallery where you can download high-resolution images. Need them faster? Add Express Delivery ($100 USD) to get your full edited gallery within 48 hours. All editing is done in Lightroom to ensure consistent, high-quality results that match my artistic style.
I recommend light, flowing fabrics in white, cream, or pastel colors that complement Zanzibar's tropical setting. Natural colors and light fabrics always look great on camera. Avoid heavy patterns or overly formal attire unless it's a wedding. The goal is to feel comfortable and natural so your true emotions shine through. For beach sessions, barefoot is perfect! I'll help you choose outfits that fit the location and your style.
Zanzibar weather changes quickly, so we'll stay flexible and adjust the timing or day if needed. Beautiful light often comes after rain! Zanzibar has beautiful weather year-round, so bad weather is rare. However, if there's heavy rain or unsafe conditions, we can reschedule your session at no extra cost. I always monitor the forecast and will communicate with you in advance if any changes are needed.
Absolutely! I specialize in beach weddings and intimate ceremonies on Zanzibar. I capture everything from the ceremony to sunset portraits, with artistic and emotional style. The Premium Package ($600 USD) is perfect for weddings with up to 2.5 hours of coverage, 140+ photos, and 2-3 Instagram reels. Contact me early via WhatsApp (+48 515 710 975) to discuss your wedding date and vision — I'd love to be part of your special day.
Yes! I work closely with My Blue Hotel, Safirablu, The Residence Zanzibar, and Zan Hotels as their trusted photographer. I have exclusive access to some of the island's most beautiful private locations, including the only infinity pool with ocean views. If you're staying at one of these resorts or another hotel, let me know — I can coordinate everything seamlessly.
I offer three premium add-ons: Drone aerial photos and videos ($200 USD) — perfect for beach, couple, or proposal sessions with stunning aerial perspectives. Express Delivery ($100 USD) — receive your edited gallery within 48 hours instead of 7-10 days. Beach Decoration ($150 USD) — romantic beach setup with a floral gate made of fresh, local flowers, perfect for proposals, anniversaries, or dreamy couple sessions.
Booking is easy! Contact me via WhatsApp (+48 515 710 975) or email (info@makamezanzibar.com) with your preferred date and type of session. I accept payments by card (Visa or Mastercard via Revolut) or cash. A $100 USD prepayment is required to book and secure your date — the rest can be paid on the day of the session. We'll discuss all details and finalize everything before your photoshoot.
