What does AD Pictures do?

Where is AD Pictures located and what areas do you serve?

Our studio is at Awlo Business Center, 3rd Floor, Bole Medhanialem, Addis Ababa. We film across Addis Ababa and all of Ethiopia, and we take on destination work on request.

How do I book AD Pictures for my wedding or event?

Message us on WhatsApp at +251 908 030 809 with your date and location. We reply with availability, packages and a quote — usually within the hour.

How far in advance should I book?

For weddings we recommend booking 2–3 months ahead, and earlier for peak season, since dates are limited. Smaller shoots and events can often be arranged on shorter notice.

Do you offer both video and photography?

Yes. We shoot cinematic films and reels as well as portrait and event stills, so your day can be covered as both motion and photography by one team.

What makes AD Pictures different?

Every frame is planned before the shutter opens. With 10+ years behind the lens and 3,600+ stories told, we treat your day like a film — directing light, mood and story rather than just recording it.
