We frequently travel to cover weddings in India and have our footprints all across. For outstation assignments, clients will have to bear the travel, accommodation, and any other overheads. Tell us about your vision, and we’ll create a wedding documentation plan customized to your preferences and requirements.
What is your style and what is candid and traditional photography?
Our style of photography widely translates to Candid Photography.
Candid photography is a journalistic documentation of your events. This is something we personally specialize in. When we shoot an event, we are like the decor piece, present in the room but almost invisible. We capture the hidden smiles, secret glances and all the other obvious and non obvious things and weave it in a beautiful visual story .We also take posed fun shots to portray the chemistry and romance between the couple and those portraits you can frame and keep.
Traditional photography entails a systematic coverage of all the rituals, guests and happenings. These are the stage shots at a wedding/reception , other miscellaneous group shots and family portraits. These are the kind of photos which grandma will like to have it framed and put it up a wall.
Do you make videos for the wedding?
Yes, we do make wedding videos which are beautifully handcrafted to document your story. Go through our wedding-films head over to Wedding Films section.
What is the difference between cinematic video & traditional video?
Cinematic Video aka Wedding Films are gorgeous videos that capture the essence of your entire wedding story in a short film – wedding trailer of 2-3 minutes & a long wedding film of about 8~10 mins. We capture the celebrations and the hidden moments in a story telling format & condense it in a quick film.
Traditional video is a through documentation of everything from the events -the rituals from the wedding ceremony, sangeet performaces etc. This is for posterity as the cinematic wedding film, does not cover everything from all the events.
Do we need traditional video is we take cinematic 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 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). We will not be able to entertain specific editing requests of traditional video.
Do you do pre-wedding shots in Mumbai and outside?
Yes we do. Pre-weddings are a great way of breaking the ice between the couple and us. Check the Just Us section to view some of them.
