Pre-wedding shoots for couples living and working in Kharadi — very often photographed in Pune for a wedding that is happening somewhere else entirely.
Where the shoot happens versus where the wedding does
You live in Pune. The wedding is at home, six hundred kilometres away.
That split is the norm here, and it decides almost everything about how a pre-wedding shoot gets planned.
The shoot happens where you actually are, on whatever leave you can both get, usually months before anyone travels for the wedding itself. It is the one part of the whole event that belongs to the city you chose rather than the one you are from.
That makes it worth treating as its own thing rather than a warm-up. These are frequently the only photographs of the two of you in the place where you met, worked, and decided to get married — which is a better brief than replicating whatever is trending.
Practically it means planning around annual leave and travel dates, not around an ideal season. Tell us the wedding date and when you can both take time off, and we will work back from those two constraints.
There is a case for treating this shoot as being about the city rather than about the wedding. For couples who met, worked and decided to marry in Pune, these are frequently the only photographs of the two of them in the place where all of that happened.
That is a better brief than replicating whatever is currently circulating, and it usually produces a set the couple keeps rather than one that dates within two years.
Because the dates are fixed by leave rather than preference, it is worth having a second location in mind. If the first does not work on the day there is no rescheduling.
Couples here frequently want the photographs to look like the city they chose rather than like a generic set. That is a better brief than a mood board and it usually produces something they keep.
Two well-planned hours at the right end of the day genuinely outperform an unplanned full day. If leave is scarce, that is the trade worth making.
Getting ready
Planning around leave that is already booked
Confirm both sets of leave before choosing a date, not after. Couples here are working to two employers' calendars and the shoot has to fit the overlap rather than the ideal week.
Decide outfits early and pack them properly if you are travelling. A creased outfit that arrived in a suitcase is a real problem and an avoidable one.
Agree what happens if the weather turns. On dates fixed by leave there is no moving it, so the alternative plan should exist before the morning rather than being invented during it.
Planning it
What we establish first
Which days you both have, and whether either could shift. That is the constraint everything else fits around.
Where the wedding actually is. For couples marrying in another city, the pre-wedding belongs to Pune and it is worth treating as its own thing rather than as a rehearsal.
And what you want it to feel like rather than which poses you want. The first has a useful answer and points at a time of day; the second usually does not.

Our wedding is in another city. Does a Pune pre-wedding still make sense?
It is the most common arrangement we shoot. The pre-wedding belongs to where you live now; the wedding belongs to home. They are allowed to look different.
We can only both take leave on the same two days.
Then we plan around those two days. Tell us early, because the light you want is at either end of the day and that needs the schedule fixed rather than flexible.
Can you travel to our wedding city as well?
Yes. We cover locations across Maharashtra and take on destination weddings, with travel and stay agreed with you upfront before anything is booked.
Which areas do you shoot pre-weddings around?
Couples book us from Kharadi, Wadgaon Sheri, Viman Nagar, Keshav Nagar, Mundhwa and Kalyani Nagar, and we shoot across Pune and beyond.

What if it rains on the only day we have?
We agree a second approach in advance. On a date that cannot move, having a plan beats hoping.
Can you travel to our wedding city too?
Yes. We cover locations across Maharashtra and take on destination weddings, with travel agreed upfront.
How long is a typical shoot?
A few hours at the right end of the day rather than a full day. Light decides the length more than anything else.
Can we shoot in two locations?
Yes, if they are close enough that travel does not eat the light. Tell us what you have in mind and we will say honestly.
Do you help with poses?
You get direction throughout. Nobody is left standing there wondering what to do with their hands.
When will we receive the photographs?
We confirm the timeline in writing when you book rather than leaving it open.
Do you shoot in the rain?
If it comes to that, yes, and it can be excellent. It just needs deciding in advance rather than debating on the morning.
Can we do a shorter session close to home?
Yes. Two hours at the right hour beats a whole day at the wrong one.
When can you both take leave?
Send us that and the wedding date. Those two things decide the plan more than anything else.
