Showers and Dohale Jevan in Dhanori — usually in a society hall booked for a fixed slot, with somebody else booked in after you.
The slot ends when it ends
The hall is yours until four. At four it belongs to somebody else.
A booked shared hall has a hard stop, and functions almost always start later than planned and finish under pressure because of it.
The squeeze lands on the end of the event, which is exactly where the group photographs usually sit. By the time the meal is done and someone suggests getting everyone together, the clock has become a problem and the photographs get rushed or dropped.
The fix is to move them forward. Family groups shortly after everyone has arrived, before the ritual rather than after the food, while the room is full and nobody is watching the time. It takes ten minutes and it removes the one thing that reliably gets lost.
Worth knowing the slot when you book us, too. A function with a four-hour window is covered differently from one that can drift, and knowing which it is changes the running order rather than the price.

The squeeze lands at the end of the event, which is exactly where the group photographs usually sit. By the time the meal is done, the clock has become a problem.
The fix is to move them forward — family groups shortly after everyone arrives, before the ritual rather than after the food, while the room is full and nobody is watching the time.
Knowing the slot at booking is what makes that possible. A function with a four-hour window is covered differently from one that can drift.
Decorations are also worth photographing on their own before anyone touches them, particularly where a family member made them.
In a hall booked by the hour, that window is short and it closes as soon as guests start arriving.
Five minutes at the start covers it, and it is five minutes that cannot be recovered later.
Getting ready
Working to a booked slot
Tell us the booking window — start and end — because it decides the running order more than anything else about the day.
Find out when the room will actually be ready, so the decorated space is photographed before guests rather than during setup.
Send a group photograph list, because those move to early in the function rather than the end.

Our hall is booked for a fixed slot.
Tell us the window when you book. We move the group photographs to early in the function rather than the end, which is where they otherwise get squeezed.
Setup time is included in our slot.
Then it is worth telling us when the room will actually be ready, so we photograph the decorated space before guests rather than during setup.
Do you know the Dohale Jevan sequence?
Yes. Knowing what comes next matters more when the schedule is compressed by a booking window.
Which areas around Dhanori do you cover?
Dhanori, Lohegaon, Vishrantwadi, Tingre Nagar, Kalas, Viman Nagar and Yerawada are the closest, and we cover functions across Pune.
Setup time is inside our slot.
Then tell us when the room will be ready so we photograph it before guests.
Which areas do you cover?
Dhanori, Lohegaon, Vishrantwadi, Tingre Nagar, Kalas, Viman Nagar and Yerawada.
Can you photograph at home instead?
Yes, and home functions photograph well.
How long do you stay?
As long as you book. Tell us the window.
Do you photograph the food and gifts?
Yes, and best before the meal starts.
How do we book?
Send us the date and what you have in mind, and you get a clear quote for the coverage you actually need.
How soon do we receive the photographs?
Confirmed in writing at booking rather than left open.
Can you send a small set early?
Tell us at booking if it matters and we will prioritise it.
Do you travel outside Pune?
Yes, with travel agreed upfront before anything is booked.
Can we see examples before booking?
Yes. Tell us what you have in mind and we will show you work that matches it rather than a general portfolio.
Do you charge extra for travel within this area?
Travel is agreed upfront and confirmed in writing, so there is nothing to discover afterwards.
Can we speak to you before deciding?
Yes, and it is usually the fastest way to work out what you actually need.
How do we share the photographs afterwards?
You get an online gallery you can share, and tell us if prints or an album are wanted.
What is your slot?
Start and end. It decides the running order more than anything else about the day.
