About Hazelnut Photography
Hazelnut Photography is a photography and videography provider operating islandwide from their Kallang studio. The listing has been verified by KakiList, and with a 5/5 rating across 187 Google reviews, the sample is robust enough to carry meaningful weight. Pricing sits in the mid-range band ($$) with packages structured to suit the scope of each event.
Enquire by sharing your event date, venue, and headcount so Hazelnut Photography can confirm availability and recommend the right package. From there, a style consultation helps align the coverage — number of hours, deliverables such as edited image galleries or video cuts, and any second shooter or highlight reel requirements. Confirm the deposit (typically 30–50% on signing to secure the date), the balance schedule, the turnaround time for edited files, and whether a travel charge applies for venues outside the central region. If any portion of the event is outdoors, discuss a wet-weather contingency plan and ask whether public liability insurance is held — some HDB void deck and condo venues require a copy before setup begins. Lead times for popular Saturdays in wedding season (March–April and October–November) can stretch to six months or more, so early enquiry is advisable.
Reach out via WhatsApp, phone, or the enquiry form with your event date and brief to receive a package proposal from Hazelnut Photography.

We had a wonderful experience engaging Cherubfoto for our maternity photoshoot. Shiv was genuinely warm, friendly, accommodating and professional. We would highly recommend engaging his service for maternity, newborn and family photoshoot. Looking forward to engaging his service again for our next photoshoot! Thank you for the beautiful memories captured through your lens, much appreciated! Warm regards Joe & Allysa March 2026

I engaged Cherubfoto for my maternity shoot at short notice. Shiv is a wonderful photographer who made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, especially my husband who dislikes taking photos! He suggested different kinds of poses for variety and found nice angles and hidden areas within the location we visited. He even showed us the pictures after the shots so we had an idea of how they'd look. He also sent us some pictures via WhatsApp right after the session while waiting for the edited photos. Shiv definitely has an artistic eye and I really love the lighting, composition and depth of the photos. I'm so glad I went with Cherubfoto and can't wait for the edited photos. Will be engaging them for future shoots again when possible! :) Thank you, Shiv!

This is my second time engaging Cherubfoto for newborn shoot. The previous time was in January 2025 and for both the shoots, we love the photos so much! Our photographer, Shiv is super patient, attention to detail and handle baby so well, especially when my 1 year old join in the photoshoot. We were very comfortable shooting with him and he taught us how to pose. He also ensures that the photos are good before we move on to the next set. We will definitely engage them for future shoots! Highly recommend!

I engaged CherubFoto for a newborn photoshoot and had a great experience. The pre-shoot instructions were clear, which made preparation easy. Shiv was very polite and professional throughout the session. The photoshoot went smoothly even though we needed to pause a few times to feed my baby and change diapers. He was also very patient and even managed to soothe my baby when he became cranky. Overall, a very pleasant experience and I would highly recommend CherubFoto!

We were looking for a place to do a family photoshoot and got introduced to Cherubfoto! Shiv was amazing and really accommodating! We had quite tight and limited dates to work around and he managed to make it happen for us! The shoot was very enjoyable even with our two kids. Shiv also made the best of the time we had there! When the kids were restless he suggested for the adults to take shots amongst ourselves! The results of the shoot was so awesome! Everyone absolutely loved the end product! Thanks Shiv once again!!!!

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Hazelnut Photography charge?›
Hazelnut Photography uses a package pricing model, which means the total cost depends on the event type, hours of coverage, and deliverables required. As a general Singapore market reference: wedding full-day photography packages run S$2,500–6,000+, full-day videography S$3,000–8,000+, and kids' birthday or baby full-month bundles S$300–2,000 for photography and video combined. Shorter-coverage packages for corporate events or private portraits sit in a lower band. Confirm in writing what the package includes — hours of coverage, number of edited images or video length, turnaround time, print or album options, and any travel charge for non-central venues. GST applies where the provider is GST-registered, so check whether quoted prices are inclusive or exclusive. A deposit of 30–50% on signing is standard to secure the date.

How far ahead should I book Hazelnut Photography?›
For weddings, six to twelve months ahead is the industry norm — popular Saturdays in March, April, October, and November fill earliest, and a 5/5 rating across 187 reviews suggests Hazelnut Photography's availability will be in high demand. For baby celebrations and birthday parties, six to twelve weeks is usually sufficient, though in-demand dates around school holidays and long weekends can go faster. Confirm whether the date is firmly held once the deposit is paid, and ask about the rescheduling policy if a force-majeure event — weather, venue closure, or a public-health restriction — requires a change. For outdoor or partially outdoor events, a written wet-weather contingency plan is worth requesting at the time of booking.
What does the deposit cover and what's the cancellation policy at Hazelnut Photography?›
The Singapore industry standard for photography and videography is a 30–50% deposit on signing to secure the event date, with the balance typically due one to two weeks before the event. Confirm in writing what the deposit covers — date hold, any pre-event consultations or site recces, and planning hours — and what happens to the deposit if you cancel. Deposits are generally non-refundable but may be transferable to a future date depending on availability. Ask about the rescheduling policy specifically — whether a postponement within a set window (e.g. twelve months) is treated differently from a cancellation. Also confirm whether public liability insurance is held, as some HDB void deck, condo function room, and hotel venues require the vendor to produce a certificate before the shoot begins. Put all terms in a written contract before paying any amount.
