You want different things
One imagined something relaxed and unposed. The other imagined something considerably more produced. Neither said so beforehand because it did not occur to them that they differed.
Discovered on the day, it is resolved by whoever cares more, and the other person spends several hours doing something they did not want.
Discovered a week earlier, it is trivial. Half the time for each, or two shorter shoots, or one approach agreed properly rather than assumed.
So the useful question before booking is not where and when. It is what each of you is actually picturing.
Ask each other and you will frequently find you are describing two different afternoons.
Where you genuinely differ, we shoot both. It costs some time and it is far better than one of you being quietly disappointed.
It is worth noticing whether the disagreement is actually between the two of you or between your families.
A surprising number of couples arrive having absorbed two sets of expectations and are trying to satisfy both without saying so.
That is a different problem from disagreeing with each other, and it is worth naming because the solution is different too.
Where families have expectations, the practical answer is a small number of frames that meet them and a shoot that otherwise ignores them.
Ten minutes of what your relatives are picturing buys the freedom to spend the rest of it on what you actually want.
Most couples find that trade entirely acceptable once it is put to them plainly.
Getting ready
Ask each other what you are each picturing before you book. Couples frequently describe two different afternoons.
If you differ, say both rather than agreeing a compromise neither wants.
Two outfits rather than four. Changes cost time out of the good light.
Planning it
What each of you is picturing, separately.
How much time you actually have.
And how much direction each of you wants, which frequently differs too.

How the session itself works is covered in full on the main pre-wedding photography page.
Common, and usually undiscovered until the day. Tell us both and we shoot both rather than picking a side.
That differs within most couples. Say so and the session accounts for it.
A couple of hours at the right end of the day beats a whole day at the wrong one.
Yes, across Maharashtra with travel agreed upfront.
Fewer than you think.
Yes, throughout, and as much or as little as each of you wants.
Tell us and we will agree an alternative approach in advance.
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.
It helps for anything with several stakeholders. Failing that, send us what each person is hoping for and we will work from that.
One person, agreed beforehand. Requests from everybody are welcome at the start; instructions from four people mid-session mean less gets photographed.
Send us the date and what you have in mind, and you get a clear quote for the coverage you actually need.
