Wedding Photography in Hadapsar, Pune

Two families, one set

A wedding album has to satisfy two families who have not compared notes.

One side may care most about the rituals being properly recorded. The other may care most about the guests and the celebration.

Those produce different coverage, and a photographer told only one of them will deliver half of what was wanted.

The most reliable fix is a short conversation between the families before the wedding rather than two separate conversations with the photographer.

Failing that, ask each side the same question — what would you be upset not to have — and send us both answers.

It is also worth establishing who actually decides when the two lists conflict on the day, because at some point they will.

A named person on each side with the authority to say what happens next is worth more than any amount of advance planning.

It is worth being specific about what happens when two instructions conflict mid-function.

At some point on the day somebody will ask for something that contradicts the plan, and the photographer has seconds to decide.

Without a named decision-maker, the choice falls to whoever asked most recently, which is not a system anybody would design.

The other thing worth agreeing is how much the couple themselves want to be consulted on the day.

Some couples want to be asked; most would rather not be interrupted at all and are happy for a family member to handle it.

Both are fine and it is worth saying which, because otherwise the assumption falls the wrong way about half the time.
