Short answer: a wedding slideshow made from your own photos is mostly listed at HK$800–1,500 (about US$100–190); many photography packages include one, or add it for about HK$1,000. A filmed MV or AI animation jumps to HK$6,800–13,800. Among photo slideshows, paying more usually buys more photos and a longer runtime, not a better-looking film.
Wedding slideshow prices at a glance: three routes, three price levels
| Route | Published price | Usually includes | Suits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Included in or added to a photography package | Included, or HK$800–1,000 extra | The photography team builds it from your photos, about 25–50 of them | Couples who have booked a photographer and want one supplier |
| Standalone photo slideshow | HK$800–1,500 | For example 30–40 photos, 4–5 minutes, chosen music, MP4 | Couples who only need the slideshow and want someone to make it |
| Filmed MV or AI animation | HK$6,800–13,800 | A film crew and locations, or AI animation, plus story writing | Couples who want newly filmed footage or animation |

Is a pricier slideshow better? Where the money goes
Not necessarily. Among slideshows made from photos, the price gap comes mainly from photo count and runtime, not picture quality. Secret Place, for example, lists HK$800 for up to 30 photos under four minutes and HK$1,500 for up to 40 photos under five minutes. The extra HK$700 buys ten more photos and one more minute.
The real jump comes when the work changes. Kelvinshot’s Mini MV (from HK$6,800) includes 2.5 hours of filming at one or two locations; e-banner’s AI memory film (from HK$8,800) includes story structuring and AI animation. You are paying for a film crew or animation work, not for “better-looking photos”.
So start with one question: do you want to keep the photos you already have, or do you want new footage or animation? For the first, several options sit under HK$1,500; only the second needs a five-figure budget.
How to choose for your situation
You have already booked a photographer
Ask whether the package already includes a slideshow. Foto80s’ full-day package includes one; Doki Production lets you choose a slideshow or a same-day edit; Fine Wedding’s full-day package includes a 25-photo slideshow. If yours does not, adding one usually costs about HK$800–1,000, which is simpler than finding another maker.
You only need the slideshow, with a budget under HK$1,500
Go to a standalone photo-slideshow maker and compare on the same terms: photo count, runtime and delivery date. Secret Place asks for photos six weeks before the wedding, takes about 15–20 working days and charges a rush fee for late photos.
You want filmed footage or animation
Set aside HK$6,800 or more and book the shooting date early. This is a different kind of wedding film; it can play alongside a photo slideshow rather than replace it.
Three extra charges to watch beyond the quote
- Extra photos: anything over the limit costs more, for example HK$20 per photo at Secret Place.
- Rush: sending photos within four weeks of the wedding costs HK$800 at Secret Place, the price of another basic plan.
- Changes after completion: swapping photos or content after the film is finished costs HK$500 at Secret Place.
Also separate a package deduction from a standalone price: omitting the slideshow from Foto80s’ package saves only HK$400, which does not mean you can buy one for HK$400. For the other conditions to check in a quote, see How to compare wedding slideshow quotes: 4 hidden conditions.

How the data was compiled
Only slideshow prices stated explicitly on each provider’s official website were used, each page checked on October 20, 2026; forum posts, directories and search-snippet prices were not. Providers whose pages would not load or showed only a placeholder price were excluded. This is a sample of public information, not a market average or paid prices. Ranges are calculated within each route only; photo slideshows and filmed work are never averaged together. US dollar figures are approximate conversions.
For disclosure counts on timing and revisions from the original seven-provider sample, plus a downloadable CSV, see the quote comparison study.
Want to use your own photos and see the film before paying?
Dear Ever is a self-serve platform and is not part of the 11-provider sample: upload your photos and set their order, and the platform matches a cinematic style, camera movement and music without altering the original photos. Preview without limit for free and pay only when happy: HK$799 for a watermark-free 1080p MP4. To work out how many photos you need, use the wedding slideshow photo and song calculator.
