Frequently Asked Questions

1: Where are you based? Will you be able to travel to another city?

We are based out of New Delhi & Amritsar. However, we like to travel and cover weddings in several parts of the world. we often travel to cover weddings in India and abroad and have our footprints all across the world. For outstation assignments, clients will need to bear the travel, accommodation, and any overheads.

2: What is our style and how do you cover Weddings?

Our form of photography widely translates to Candid Photography. The word ‘candid’ means frank, outspoken, open, and sincere. Candid photography is that the form where you’re taking photographs often them realizing the moment being captured and moments in life look the best once they aren’t staged. Our style encompasses heavily elements of lifestyle, fashion, and photojournalism. Our form of photography is inspired by street photography and art of capturing stories in frames. we frequently layer multiple stories in one frame to create compelling images.

We also take some posed fun shots to portray the chemistry and romance between the couple. Lastly, if you’re worried about your reception photos on stage, we cover that too. We take a brief within the beginning and intermittently on what’s the expectation then play around with our creativity. Most current Candid photographers within the country make use of accessible light while capturing photographs and use artificial lights like flash during a limited sense. this is often one aspect where we are different. We work heavily with lights to make the magic lighting which you simply see in fashion shoots or movies and yet everything during a Candid setting which is our USP and this alongside our enthusiasm and love for weddings sets us aside from the rest of the photographers within the country.

3: What are your different packages and rates?

We charge looking at the assignment. Please contact us to understand the rates. the price varies based on the days required to shoot and services needed. you’ll receive a minimum of 400-600 edited images per day and a brief film of 5 mins and a highlight video of events of 15-20 mins. From one day wedding, you ought to expect only 5 min short film as there isn’t enough content to form a bigger film. the number of images may go up if there are many interesting things to cover and if the marriage is actually eventful and fun. So clue to you for more photographs is have a fun wedding ?

4: Do you make videos for Wedding?

Yes, we do make wedding videos that are beautifully handcrafted to document your story. To go through our wedding-films head over to the YouTube Channel.

5: Do we need traditional video if we are taking cinematic film?

The traditional video is nice for capturing the events intimately. it’s especially helpful for recording continuous Sangeet performances with proper audio because of the DSLR used for creating short film lack an input to record sound from the audio mixer. Hence we recommend Traditional Video for Sangeet function. Also if you’re keen on having an extended recording of your functions, traditional-video is extremely recommended. Traditional videographers aren’t a part of our permanent team. We facilitate the service in order that you’ve got the convenience of getting all done from one place. Secondly, the traditional videographer won’t are available our way of capturing your precious memories and spoiling your candid photographs and films. the ultimate video isn’t edited much and has simple music within the background and sometimes ambient sound during pooja and rituals aside from Sangeet (in sangeet you get professional sound from the mixer provided the DJ or sound engineer gives us the output). we’ll not be ready to entertain specific editing requests of traditional video.

Making a video is a creative and painstaking process and that we make our videos with tons of affection and energy. With every new video, we attempt to do something different in terms of background score, visuals, and color treatment.

After reaching the office, the data is backed up on two separate hard-disk to reduce any failures. it’s very rare that such an occurrence may occur and if it does then the probability is further less of it happening on two storage devices at an equivalent time.
