Baby shower and Dohale Jevan coverage in Hadapsar, where two sides of a family frequently expect different things from the day.
Two sides, two expectations
A Dohale Jevan is usually hosted by one side of the family and attended by both.
That produces a predictable difference in expectations that nobody discusses until the photographs arrive.
The hosting side wants the ritual, the preparation and the decorated room recorded properly, because they arranged all of it.
The other side generally wants photographs of their own relatives with the mother-to-be, which is a different list entirely.
Both are reasonable and both fit comfortably into one function, provided somebody says so beforehand.
The practical step is a group photograph list with both sides represented, agreed between the families rather than written by whoever is hosting.
Left to the day, the hosting side's list gets done and the other side's gets attempted at the end.
It is worth identifying which side of the family is actually hosting, because that decides whose expectations are the default.
The hosting side sets the running order, the venue and the tone, and their view of what matters shapes everything unless somebody else speaks up.
That is not unfair, it is just how it works, and it is why the other side's list has to be asked for explicitly.
It also helps to know whether the mother-to-be has views that differ from either family.
She frequently does and frequently does not say so, because the function is being arranged for her by other people.
Asking her directly, separately, is worth doing and almost nobody thinks to.
Getting ready
One list, both sides
Agree the group photograph list between both families rather than leaving it to whoever is hosting.
Say who from each side must appear, since those are the frames that otherwise get missed.
Tell us when the room will be ready, so the decorations are photographed before guests arrive.
Planning it
What we plan around
What each side of the family is hoping for, since it is rarely the same.
The booking window, and when the room will be ready.
And how much of the function you want covered.

The two families want different photographs.
Usually, and both fit into one function. Agree the group list between both sides rather than leaving it to the hosts.
Whose list usually gets done?
The hosting side's, unless somebody says otherwise beforehand.
Do you know the Dohale Jevan sequence?
Yes, so you do not have to explain it.
Which areas do you cover?
Hadapsar, Magarpatta City, Keshav Nagar, Mundhwa, Ghorpadi, Wadgaon Sheri and Kharadi.
Can you photograph at home?
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.
What if we cannot agree at all?
Then tell us both positions and we will shoot both. We will say honestly what each produces; we will not tell you which your family should prefer.
Should everybody be on the call when we book?
It helps for anything with several stakeholders. Failing that, send us what each person is hoping for and we will work from that.
Who should we nominate for the day?
One person, agreed beforehand. Requests from everybody are welcome at the start; instructions from four people mid-session mean less gets photographed.
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.
Agree the list between both families
Otherwise the hosting side gets their photographs and the other side gets what is left.
