FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
OUR PHOTOGRAPHY STYLE
We aim to capture your wedding story in an unobtrusive, candid manner. We want your wedding pictures & films to feel real so that when your family from the next generation takes a look at this story, they get a true sense of who you are.
When it comes to your couple portraits, we will offer direction to make the output reflect your natural chemistry, without looking cheesy or gimmicky. We also look at our couple portraits as a way of bonding and creating a relationship with our brides & grooms.
We love using creative lighting, unique perspectives, angles, compositions, and artistic post-production refining to bring out our client's personalities and beauty while telling their wedding story. We pride ourselves on not just being photographers, but rather artists creating unique and expressive imagery.
TYPES OF WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEOGRAPHY SERVICES
What is Creative (Candid) wedding photography?
It’s about capturing real moments as they happen—your laughter, happy tears, and little looks—without asking you to pose. The “creative” part comes from using fun angles, light, and framing to make those moments look like art.
So instead of stiff, posed photos, you get pictures that are natural, emotional, and truly yours..
What is Traditional wedding photography?
Our traditional photography service is dedicated to capturing the cherished moments of your wedding day with a focus on posed group photos. Our experienced photographers skillfully organize and create beautifully composed images of your family, friends, and guests.
What is Cinematography/ Wedding Film / Candid Video? How is it different from Traditional Videography?
Shot with modern gear – High-end mirrorless cameras, gimbals/stabilizers, drones, and professional equipment.
Creative filming style – Multiple cameras, dynamic angles, and cinematic movements (unlike static traditional setups).
Story-driven editing – Footage is captured in short clips and carefully edited into a trailer and a full wedding film.
Thoughtful post-production – Each film goes through brainstorming, iterations, and fine-tuning until it feels just right.
Cinematic effects – Includes slow-motion, transitions, and creative enhancements that traditional video cameras cannot achieve.
End result – A timeless, cinematic wedding film that feels like a story rather than a simple event recording.
What is Traditional Videography?
Equipment used – Recorded with High-definition video cameras.
Style of filming – Straightforward documentation of the event, usually from a single front angle with minimal movement.
Music & feel – Often paired with simple instrumental tracks, focusing more on coverage than creativity.
Editing limitations – Cannot be transformed into cinematic trailers or wedding films.
Deliverables – One traditional video for each event, covering everything in detail.
What is Drone Photography & Videography?
Elevate your wedding memories with breathtaking aerial perspectives. Our professional drone operators capture stunning bird's-eye views, adding a unique and cinematic element to your wedding album and video.
Do we need traditional video if we are taking Cinematic Wedding Film (Candid Video)?
The traditional video is good for capturing the events in detail. It is especially helpful for recording continuous Sangeet performances with proper audio as the DSLR used for making short film lack an input to record sound from the audio mixer. Hence we recommend Traditional Video for Sangeet function. Also if you are keen on having a longer recording of your functions, traditional video is highly recommended.
The traditional videographer will not come in our way of capturing your precious memories and spoiling your candid photographs and films. The final video is not edited much and has simple instrumental music in the background and sometimes ambient sound during pooja and rituals other than Sangeet (in Sangeet you get professional sound from the mixer provided the DJ or sound engineer gives us the output).
Live Streaming
Share your special day with loved ones who can't be physically present. Our live streaming service enables friends and family from around the world to witness your wedding in real-time, ensuring that no one misses out on the joyous celebration.
LED Walls
Elevate the visual experience of your wedding with our LED wall service. Our high-quality LED walls create a stunning backdrop that enhances the ambience and adds a touch of grandeur to your event. Whether you desire custom visuals, live streaming, or dynamic displays, our LED walls provide a versatile and impactful element to make your wedding truly unforgettable.
WEDDING FILM QUESTIONS
Who decides the music of the film? Can I get the music that I want for my wedding film?
The decision of the music on the film is a collaborative effort between you and us. We will take into consideration your choice and suggestions of music you want to have in your wedding film. However, our main aim is to create a film with music that will be relevant even decades from now. We strive for timeless memories that do not appear out of place even when you watch it years from your wedding day.
What if I want some changes to be made to my wedding trailer/film?
We usually allow two rounds of changes to the wedding trailer and film. We completely understand that there is always room for changes and edits, and want to ensure that you’re absolutely happy with what you get – after all, it’s your wedding! We urge you to tell us all the changes in one go so that we can incorporate them in the first go – and leave the second round for any minor changes as needed.
GENERAL QUERIES
What is your team size?
The number of photographers/ cinematographers covering your event will depend on the type of coverage, crowd strength and the scale of the wedding.
Have you shot at my venue before?
We have shot at hundreds of venues, so there is a good chance that we have. However, if we have not, we will get to the venue early on the day of the shoot and be sure to perform a thorough walk-through to scout out the best photography locations. We also do extensive online research prior to your big day!
My wedding is next year, is it too early to enquire?
Since we take up limited weddings each year, we are usually booked well in advance. Let's connect as soon as your dates are finalized.
What if I want to hire you only for photo or video from my side of the family and the groom’s side has a separate team?
We highly recommend hiring just us to shoot both the groom’s and the bride’s family. It’s an absolute waste of resources to have two separate teams to essentially do the same thing. We have enough resources in-house to be able to cover your entire wedding from start to finish.
Here are a few reasons to consider just one team to cover your special day:
The bride and groom don't have to split their time (whatever limited time they did have) between two teams.
Hiring 1 team instead of 2 is pocket-friendly for our couples as they can split the expenses.
If required, the bride and the groom can even get separate print albums for each side focusing more on their side of the family.
Eliminates duplicate/ redundant photos and videos
When there is just one team, we can plan and align with the entire shoot more effectively.
How many weddings do you shoot in a year?
Since we prefer our personal touch in every wedding we take, we are only able to take up between 20 to 25 weddings a year.
How many hours should we set aside for photos on our wedding day?
We understand that the day of your wedding is super busy and unpredictable. But we suggest you keep an hour for your portraits after you are in your wedding outfits. These are memories that will be with you for the rest of your lives, so it’s important you make time to capture yourself that day.
What if one or more of my wedding functions goes on for a little longer than what we've discussed and aligned on?
We understand that weddings (Indian weddings especially) don't run exactly on schedule. We are flexible on timings to a reasonable degree. If an extension to timings happens at the wedding, then we will continue to shoot based on our capability & additional hours exceeded will be billed to the client.
How long will it take for you to deliver our wedding photos?
We send you a short set of highlight photos within 10-12 days from your wedding, so that you can formally announce your wedding, share on social media, register your wedding and so on. The rest of the deliverables typically take between 10-12 weeks after your wedding dates.
Do you back up our images? How can we ensure that our images won’t be lost?
Here is our backup workflow for each of our events:
We usually shoot with dual cards on our cameras. One holds the high-resolution RAW files and another holds the .jpeg version of it.
During the shoot, we back up on two External Hard Drives (Primary and Secondary backup) after each major event throughout the day.
The backup card on the camera holds all the .jpeg version images and stays in the camera from the start till the end. This works as another backup for worst-case scenarios.
After the shoot, we copy the RAW files onto a third Hard Disk of our editing machine for post-production.
Do you share all the RAW files after an event?
No, because we can do better than raw images! To put it simply, RAW files are not the final product.
When you book us, you are paying for our professional set of eyes that are trained to only pick the best of the best. You will receive a well-rounded gallery with a nice range of shots that fit our style.
Also, you may not be able to access or work with the RAW files as they are not in a ready-to-use format and require specialised software & skills to work on them.
National Assignments
Travel: We travel all over India on assignments. Travel cost needs to be taken care of by the client.
Stay: We typically stay as a guest of the family. No fancy requirements, but a nice room, and a clean loo with some privacy for midnight edits!
Which cameras do you use?
Well, we are Nikon. But frankly, It is not the camera that creates the image but the person holding it. We use the latest and best equipment that we need to create the magic that you expect us to create.

GENERAL QUERIES
What kind of payment modes do you accept?
Cash
Cheque
Internet Banking
Booking your dates and payment terms
We require 50% of the package fee to finalize the date. 50% of the advance amount (i.e. 25% of the package fee) is non-refundable because when we commit dates to you, we turn away other inquiries and lose potential business. Balance payment is expected within 7 days of completion of the assignment.
Final Images - Do you deliver every image you shoot?
A lot of effort goes into creating a wedding story based on our two-person approach to wedding photography. On completion of the assignment, we will provide you with high and low-resolution versions of the shortlisted and processed images from your wedding. We do not provide a full dump of all photographs shot from your wedding.
A great chunk of the unfiltered set comprises test shots, duplicates, shots with totally unflattering expressions and so on.
Also, we know for a fact that going through thousands of pictures to pick the best isn't worth your time. We can assure you that our experience of processing millions of images over the years has made us quite a bit of an expert. You can rest assured that we will deliver all the best images to you and you will not miss out on any wedding memories.
Do you have a replacement photographer in case you become unavailable on the day of the event?
Absolutely
