Wedding Photography FAQs for couples

Here’s a comprehensive list of wedding photography FAQs. If there’s anything you have on your mind that is not listed here, or is not detailed enough, please feel free to get in touch!

Q: What’s your wedding  photography style? Why do you shoot weddings?

A: That’s a tough question to answer. Some of the popular “styles” associated with wedding photography are candid, documentary, photojournalistic, Conventional, art wedding photography and other fancy words like these. We think what We do is a mixture of all of these styles – and depends on the moment and what we are aiming to achieve. We typically shadow the couple as closely as possible while being hypersensitive to behind-the-scene moments and emotions that occur spontaneously. These make the best wedding memories. This is largely photojournalistic to an extent – but We also like making gorgeous looking wedding photos for which we may direct and set the scene to an extent. We believe that a successful wedding assignment needs a mixture of all of this, and a responsible photographer should be adaptable enough to deliver a mix of genres.

 

Q: Where are you based? Are you open to travel for my wedding?

A: We are based in Mysore the Art Capital of India. As a team, We travel all over India and the world on assignment. Being based in a heritage city, We enjoy easy connectivity to all parts of South Asia and the world.

 

Q: Do you charge extra for out station assignments?

A: The short answer is no, We do not! our core assignment fees will remain the same – and will only cover the number of days we will actually be shooting. As a team, we realise that we need to be available to shoot where and when needed, and recognize that there will be non-billable days in travel. That’s all right, but out-of-station assignments will have an extra travel and lodging charge associated, which will be at actuals. You can read about our custom built wedding photography packages for more details. 

 

Q: I’m getting married next year, why do I need to book you so early?

A: Wedding photography, like everything else associated with a wedding like the venue, the decorator, the planner and the caterer – is a commodity that gets booked months and years in advance. There are clients who have an eye on a certain photographer, and just KNOW that nobody else will do. Booking your dates as early as possible guarantees that you won’t face any later heartburn and will be another item ticked off your wedding checklist!

Q: What camera do you use for wedding photography? Or, what equipment do you use? 

A: In short, we use whatever it takes to get you stunning photos. we have a long list of equipment we shoot weddings with, and this includes full-frame cameras, fast lenses, all forms of off-camera lighting, remote lighting equipment, props, stands, tripods, monopods…all of which is updated and changed constantly. In case you’re interested in having a conversation on equipment, or debating the pros and cons between Nikon and Canon, feel free to ask us.

 

Q: Will you be using the final wedding photos in your portfolio and on your social media channels? What if we do not want that?

A: We may! If your wedding results in terrific wedding photos (and we are sure it will!), we would love to share those pictures on my personal portfolio website and social channels as examples of great work we’ve done, so that other couples may also be inspired from your wedding. Should you specifically NOT want us to disclose your wedding photos on our personal channels, let us know before hand. There is no official policy on how to approach these situations, and there may be a middle ground we can work out.

 

Q: Are your wedding packages negotiable? I can’t afford what you charge!

A: We truly understand how expensive it is to get married. There are a million things you need to pay for, and some of them are more challenging than others. However, premium wedding photography also comes at a price – and we can’t even begin to start justifying the effort it takes to deliver quality photos like the ones you see on this website.

Q: Do you offer wedding video or cinematography services? I’d like a wedding video — and I’d like everything to be done under one roof.  

A: Absolutely! Wedding cinema has evolved a lot over the last few years. We will develop a beautiful thematic documentary style wedding video which will perfectly complement your wedding album. For samples, please get in touch with me. Typical deliverables include a wedding trailer (5-6 mins), and a full 60-80 minute wedding movie — all in brilliant high definition video. 

Q: What are your wedding photography assignment times? How many hours a day will you shoot?

A: Many photographers approach this differently. I do not believe in setting a limit on the number of hours  I will be available to you during a wedding. Indian weddings don’t run as per a schedule (though there always is one!) and things do tend to over schedule at times. When this happens, it would be outright blackmail for the photographer to threaten to pack up unless paid extra. Rest assured, this won’t happen – and I will be available for you as long as needed. Of course, photography requires creativity – and human endurance does play a factor here
