FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What is your approach for Photography?
We aim to capture your wedding story in a storytelling way. We want your wedding pictures & films to feel real. Our approach is candid, documentary, and artistic so that the natural magic of your story is preserved.
When it comes to couple portraits or bridal shoots, we offer guidance so that we can capture little moments of love, gut-busting laughs, and warm hugs.
We believe that the experience is just as important as the finished product.
What are your deliverables?
We deliver around 500 plus edited high & low-resolution images per day.
FILMS
A 3-5 mins cinematic trailer.
A highlight film of 7-10 mins.
20 minutes Documentary Film (For Events spanning over 1 or 2 Days)
Group & Performance videos separately.
Albums
Wedding albums are not included in the package and can be ordered separately.
What are the delivery timelines?
Complete set of images will be delivered within 6-8 Weeks from the last day of the shoot.
If you require the images to be completed prior to six weeks after the date of the shoot, a quick-process fee will be charged.
FILMS
We carefully handcraft (curate, process, edit) the output that tells your story in the best way possible.
This process takes about 8-10 Weeks from the date of shoot.
You will receive a pen-drive delivered at your doorstep containing all the HD images and videos.
Can I have all the images, raw & unedited as well?
Much like the baker doesn’t provide the extra flour or the frosting when making your cake. We do not offer raw files.
How big is your team?
The size of the team is decided based on individual requirements. A team of 4 is good enough to capture a wedding in its entirety but we can also get a team of 10 if needed.
Is it a good idea for the bride & groom families to have separate team?
We highly recommend hiring just one team to shoot both the groom’s and the bride’s family. If there are events happening at different locations, we can also split the team accordingly. We feel it is an absolute waste of resources to have two separate teams to do the same things.
Moreover, hiring two teams might cause a clash of ideas and add to the crowd and chaos of the wedding. It also results in wasting more time for the couple photos.
How much do you charge and what are the payment terms?
For us each and every wedding is unique and the cost of your wedding photography and films depends entirely on the scope of work. Customised packages are available on request, for which we need to know more about your story, your vision for your wedding & the list, flow and guest size of the wedding celebrations.
Candid Photography is expensive. Are the fees negotiable?
Only well-captured images help you recollect emotions. Photography or Videography is an art we practice with pride. We do not compromise on the skills or amount of effort or equipment, then why compromise on the price? We believe that skill and hard work needs to be valued.
We can figure out a smaller package that will work for you and us.
Who picks the music for the trailer & films that are released? Can we choose our own music for our film? If no. How do you choose the song for the film?
Choosing the song for each video is an art in itself! While we always consider your musical taste, we prefer that you leave this choice to us based on pace, feel and build of the video. Sometimes a film demands a slower song, sometimes faster – it’s all about the emotion & feels.
Let us take the creative reins and craft you the perfect film!
Will you upload our images online? Can I request you not to?
We will post our images online on social media sites and our website, and we may even submit these images for certain magazine articles and competitions.
The images will only be used for our promotion purposes and never for commercial purposes.
If you don’t want us to publish the images on our site, we charge an additional 20% of the total bill amount. However, we absolutely respect your privacy, and the best we can do is not tag you in our posts.
Do you shoot weddings all over India and Abroad? Does it affect the cost?
Without a doubt! The costing is more or less the same, the client just has to pay for the team’s travel, stay & food.
What are your terms of payment?
We require that you put a 50% initial deposit to secure the date and then 30% on the wedding day and the remaining on delivery. We reserve the right to withhold all the deliverables until the payment has been done in full.
Do you take up other assignments apart from weddings & couple portrait & family sessions?
- Anniversaries,
- Birthday parties,
- Baby showers,
- Corporate events, etc.
