Baby shower and Dohale Jevan coverage in Koregaon Park, planned around what the venue allows and when the room is actually yours.
Whose room, and when
At a booked venue, the room is not yours until it is, and it stops being yours precisely on time.
That sounds obvious and it is the single most common cause of a rushed function — the room was not ready when the family expected and the clock ran regardless.
Two questions settle it. When can the decorators actually get in, and what time does the room have to be clear.
Both are answers the venue has and neither is usually asked until the week of the function.
Knowing them changes the running order rather than the coverage: group photographs move to early in the function, and the decorated room is photographed the moment it is finished rather than once guests are in it.
It is also worth asking whether photography is unrestricted throughout, because some spaces are shared and some are not.
It is also worth asking who at the venue is actually responsible on the day.
A booking made with one person is frequently executed by another, and the second person may not know what was agreed about setup times or photography.
A name and a number for whoever is on duty saves a great deal of standing about on the morning.
It is a small ask and it is the difference between a function that starts on time and one that starts late for reasons nobody can fix.
It is worth confirming whether the venue provides anything that affects the photographs, particularly lighting.
Some rooms have controllable lighting and some have one setting, and knowing which decides how much we bring.
It is a two-word question and it saves either carrying too much or arriving with too little.
Getting ready
Two questions for the venue
Ask when the room is available for setup, and what time it has to be clear. Those two answers shape the whole function.
Ask whether photography is unrestricted throughout, particularly if any part of the space is shared.
Send a group photograph list, because those move to early in the function.
Planning it
What we plan around
The booking window, and whether setup is inside it.
When the room will actually be finished.
And whether any part of the space is shared with other guests.

Our room is booked for a fixed slot.
Tell us the window. Group photographs then move to early in the function rather than the end.
Does the venue restrict photography?
Some do, particularly in shared areas. Worth asking rather than assuming.
Do you know the Dohale Jevan sequence?
Yes, which matters more when the schedule is compressed.
Which areas do you cover?
Koregaon Park, Mundhwa, Ghorpadi, Kalyani Nagar, Yerawada, Wadgaon Sheri and Viman Nagar.
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.
Will you tell us what to ask the venue?
Yes, and it is usually three or four questions. Tell us the kind of space and we will send them over so it can go in one message.
What if the venue wants something in writing?
Ask them what they need and we will provide it. Venues asking for something in advance is normal rather than a problem.
Can we use the studio instead?
For most sessions, yes, and it removes the permission question entirely. The studio is in Wadgaon Sheri.
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.
Can you speak to the venue directly?
If it helps, yes. Usually it is quicker for you to ask since it is your booking, and we will send you exactly what to ask.
What if permission comes through late?
Tell us as soon as you know either way. A confirmed fallback means a late no changes the location rather than the date.
Do you photograph at the studio as well?
Yes, and for newborn, maternity, portrait and most product work it is usually the simpler option.
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.
When is the room actually yours?
Setup time and clear-out time. Those two answers shape the whole function.
