01 / PLAN WITH PURPOSE
Start with the moments that matter
Write down the ceremonies, people and details you most want to remember. Keep the list short enough to be useful on the day. If a tradition is specific to your family, explain what happens and when so your photography team can plan around it.
02 / PLAN WITH PURPOSE
Create one schedule with every venue
Include preparation, ceremony, portraits and reception timings, plus the exact addresses. For a celebration across Dombivli, Kalyan or Mumbai, allow realistic travel gaps rather than placing back-to-back coverage at different locations. Share the final running order with your photographer and venue contact.
03 / PLAN WITH PURPOSE
Set aside time for family portraits
Choose the essential groups and nominate someone who knows both families to help gather people. A short portrait window after a ceremony can be easier to coordinate than trying to assemble every group during the busiest part of the reception.
04 / PLAN WITH PURPOSE
Discuss light and venue restrictions
Tell your photographer whether the ceremony is indoors, outdoors or split between settings. Ask the venue about photography rules, access and permitted equipment. For outdoor portraits, discuss the available light and a practical plan if it rains.
05 / PLAN WITH PURPOSE
Agree what photography and film include
Request a written scope that identifies the functions, coverage hours, team, photo and video deliverables, editing, delivery method and usage. Ask what is included in Same-Night Photo Delivery and agree separate timelines for the full gallery, films and albums.
06 / PLAN WITH PURPOSE
Make privacy part of the conversation
Tell the team about guests who prefer not to be photographed and any moments you want kept private. Discuss permission to share photographs publicly separately from the agreement to cover your wedding.
07 / PLAN WITH PURPOSE
Ask for a proposal you can compare
A helpful quote makes its assumptions clear. Compare the actual functions, hours, services and deliverables offered. Confirm travel arrangements, any venue fees, booking terms and cancellation or rescheduling terms before you reserve your date.
