INDIA • DUBAI • NEW YORK
We are based in Rajkot, Gujarat and we travel all across the world to shoot.
Some of our best projects have been shot in international locations like New York, Dubai, Thailand and in domestic destinations like Udaipur, Goa, Varanasi, Bikaner and many more.
We usually film with 2 cinematographers (candid style) and 3 photographers (candid and documentary style) along with an aerial drone operator.
For a larger scale wedding, we recommend extra size of the crew (can be discussed over meet, once the whole event flow is discussed). The multi-camera setup will allow us to position ourselves strategically to capture ceremonies more naturally as they take place, without any hindrance.
If you have an intimate wedding, a crew size of 4–5 people is enough. This allows for a greater, non-obtrusive individual control of filming for each crew member and this can lead to better, unobstructed views of the festivities especially when the party is on a smaller scale involving lesser people. This also creates a warmer bond between the crew and families as there are lesser people to co-ordinate with. There is an obvious reduction in cost too!
Currently we are only into coverage (photos and videos) but having worked with some of the top wedding management teams, we are happy to suggest some names at no extra costs. An inspired management and decor team naturally act as embellishments for a beautiful film!
No. We also cover corporate shoots/documentaries, fashion shoots, podcasts, product shoots and much more.
Sorry, we absolutely do not recommend it. Apart from being uneconomical, it may obstruct and tamper with our work. The advantage of a single team is that we will get clean, unobstructed visual frames without local photographers jumping into our frames and ruining the film moments.
The expenses for the travel, food and accommodation for the crew members are usually borne by the client unless decided otherwise or factored in as a package deal.
In addition, the SSD for the final delivery are paid for by the clients too.
Any additional days / hours of shooting (not mentioned in contract) are charged extra as per the rates in the contract.
There are no other hidden costs.
We believe in start-to-end wedding coverage and hence refrain from undertaking stand-alone pre-wedding shoots.
We shoot pre-weddings for clients whose weddings we have been commissioned to film.
This serves as a great start to the final highlight film, and also strengthens the team’s bond with our clients before their wedding day.
In the standard package, we deliver two different versions of the wedding film and all selected edited digital photographs that include both candid and documentary style.
All films and photos are delivered on your SSD.
The two versions of films include –
Cinematic Trailer – A 3 to 4 minute trailer that can be released on social networking sites for the friends and family to see, reminisce and cherish.
Wedding Film – A 15 to 20 minute film from selected creative footage from the main events like the Mandap & Haldi, Sangeet, Wedding etc. in a film format edited minimally on ambient sounds & selected suitable songs blended with soft instrumental music.
In addition to above mentioned two versions, you get full sangeet performances (if any) and full speech / toasts video.
A recent trend has seen quite a number of couples opt for one-minute Instagram edit cuts / Reels.
We do not suggest it as this cut is fast paced and edgy and shows all the events in under a minute, which ruins our creativity and it is almost impossible to cover all the happening moments in a minute!
During a wedding shoot, the stills and the video teams should have harmony and co-ordination for the benefit of client coverage and to avoid getting into each other’s frames.
We usually cover both together to ensure perfect synchronicity of images and film coverage.
It’s difficult to determine the total number of images we will be shooting over a typical two or three day wedding.
Approximately 3000–4000 images are expected to be shot during a day.
All images are given to the client in high resolution JPEG format on a 2 / 4 TB SSD (digital delivery) and the selected images by us are colour and exposure edited.
The images are shot both in candid and traditional style.
Although we technically do not get into printing and designing of photo-books, we would love to craft it for you.
As a thumb-rule, approximately 120 images per album can be incorporated into one album.
Each album page is 18 inches by 12 inches in dimension. The cost of the album varies depending on the quality and brand of printing.
Usually a top quality album is in the range of INR 15000–30000.
Yes we offer this service and they are a great way to showcase some of the best moments of the events instantly to everyone present.
However, this is an additional process (extra equipment and setups are required for an extra editor to produce this) and adds to the final cost of the package.
The Wedding Director or the Director of Photography is usually the prime point of contact with the family. He/she is the sole person that co-ordinates with the couple and the event planner regarding all aspects of the events and conducts interviews etc.
Also, from the couple’s side, we need to have a singular point of contact for all wedding shoot co-ordination.
The bride’s / groom’s siblings or the best friends are the best people for the job.
Good lighting is a pre-requisite for great photos and videos. If a few simple things are taken care of at the planning stage, the job is half done.
Go for natural lighting instead of tinted hues and ensure that the stage, mandap etc. are well lit especially in the night.
The spatial design should be such that it allows the crew to cover the event from multiple angles for a good variety in footage – always advise your planner to keep in mind the space needed by photographers in case of over-crowded events.
The primary charm of the wedding video is the footage and just so that the events are nicely interlinked, we film interviews with the close family (bride, groom, parents and siblings / best friends – usually 4 frames) so that there is an underlying story that keeps the viewer connected to the film.
As the story unfolds, the viewer gets a sense of how the couple met and decided to spend their lives together.
For this, we film about 5–10 mins of audio / video bytes with each of the four frames of people. This is because we ask specific questions to different people and place the story in a coherent format in the edit room.
It will be recorded with silence in the background any time during the events.
We cannot do any interviews / audio bytes after all the events are over.
A rare case exception is understood but usually we lock all interviews on the very first day of the events as it gets stressful during the later days.
Music and song selections are collectively done by the wedding director, the client and the edit team.
A client co-ordinator is assigned for this under the guidance of the creative visualiser of the project.

From the couple’s side, we need to have a singular point of contact for all wedding shoot co-ordination.
The bride’s / groom’s siblings or the best friends are the best people for the job.
The selected edited images & trailer are delivered to you online in a link as well as on your hard drive.
Everything that has been shot by us is your property. We don’t hold back anything.
You get all the raw data on a SSD. This raw data may be useful for edits later like first anniversary / 25th anniversary etc.
We shoot thousands and thousands of film clips from multiple cameras and typically the total duration of these raw clips exceeds 50–60 hours of footage for a standard sized three-day wedding.
At the studio, these clips undergo careful conversion & screening and a battery of editors work relentlessly to create a first cut of the best clips.
Client interference at this stage not only delays the final edit considerably but also disrupts the zen-like concentration of the editors going through the footage in their own space and time.
Therefore, we strictly do not permit clients to sit through the raw footage selection.
This is the reason we have one round of edit changes. In case of any alterations, the couple can communicate this after the first screening of their film and the consolidated changes shall be incorporated.
Highlight films are usually unlisted and uploaded on our YouTube channel.
We do not release the highlight films on our Instagram / YouTube channel without prior permission from the couple.
We respect your privacy but this clause has to be specified at the time of signing the contract. On an average, one out of every ten films is released on our YouTube channel & Instagram depending on the strength of its story or its uniqueness in any other aspect ranging from décor to destination.
