-
We recommend booking as soon as you finalize your wedding date, typically 9-12 months in advance. This ensures our availability and gives us time to collaborate with you on any specific ideas or themes you’d like to incorporate.
-
Of course! While our homepage images capture standout moments, you can browse a full gallery for each couple under the Portfolio > Weddings dropdown. This gives you a true feel for how we document the entire day—from the anticipation of getting ready to the heartfelt final send-off. It’s the perfect way to see our storytelling approach and how we capture the vibe of each unique part of your celebration.
-
Our couples typically receive a curated collection of 600 to 800 images, thoughtfully edited to reflect the unique spirit and energy of their celebration. For multi-day or elaborate Indian weddings, the number of photos depend on various factors including the scale of the celebration and number of events.
Our average turnaround time for delivering your complete wedding collection is around 3 months. Right after your wedding, we’ll share a sneak peek to give you an early glimpse of your day! The exact timing for the final collection may vary depending on the wedding season and our current schedule.
-
We don’t provide raw or unprocessed images. Raw files are like uncut movie footage—they’re unfinished and don’t reflect our final vision. As photographers, we spend countless hours fine-tuning each image to match our style, creating beautiful, memorable photos that tell the story of your day. By asking for raw files, you’re essentially requesting an incomplete product and missing out on the polished service we’re dedicated to delivering. If you don’t feel confident in our ability to provide images you’ll love in our signature style, then it might be worth considering a photographer whose editing truly resonates with you. We want you to have a final gallery you’re thrilled with, and editing is a huge part of bringing that vision to life.
-
Our packages are customizable to fit your needs but generally include full-day coverage, two or more photographers ( depending on the scale of the event) for comprehensive coverage, high-resolution images, and an online gallery.
We also offer add-ons services like Drone, Ai Tagging, Same Day Edits, Engagement sessions and custom Albums/coffeetable books.
-
