Wedding coverage in Koregaon Park, planned around what the venue requires of vendors rather than discovering it on the morning.
The venue has requirements
A hotel or banquet venue has rules for vendors, and they arrive before your schedule does.
Access times, where equipment may go, which areas are open to photography, and sometimes a requirement to be listed in advance.
None of it is unreasonable and all of it is easier known in week one than on the morning of the wedding.
The one that most often bites is access. A photographer expecting to cover the getting-ready hour needs to be inside the venue before the family is, and that is a specific arrangement rather than an assumption.
The second is restricted areas. Many venues have spaces that are shared with other guests and are not available for a shoot, however good they look.
Ask the venue for whatever they give vendors and send it to us. It answers most of this in one go.
It is also worth asking whether the venue has areas that are shared with other guests during your function.
A hotel running two functions at once is common, and it changes which corridors, lawns and lobbies are available for portraits.
Discovered on the day, that removes options at exactly the moment there is no time to find alternatives.
Established in advance, we simply plan the portrait time around what is genuinely yours.
It is worth asking whether the venue has a preferred place for group photographs.
Somewhere that hosts weddings regularly usually does, and it is usually a good answer arrived at by watching many photographers solve the same problem.
Taking the suggestion is not a compromise. It is free local knowledge from people who see this every weekend.
Getting ready
Getting the vendor information early
Ask the venue what they provide to vendors, and send it to us. It usually answers access, timing and restrictions at once.
Confirm what time we can be inside, particularly if the getting-ready hour is being covered.
Send the group photograph list early. It is the part that goes missing at almost every wedding.

Does the venue need to know about you?
Some do. Ask what they require of vendors and send it to us — it usually answers everything at once.
Can you cover the getting-ready hour?
Yes, and it needs access before the family arrives, which is arranged rather than assumed.
Are there areas we cannot use?
Frequently, particularly shared guest areas. Worth establishing early.
Which areas do you cover?
Koregaon Park, Mundhwa, Ghorpadi, Kalyani Nagar, Yerawada, Wadgaon Sheri and Viman Nagar.
Do you travel outside Pune?
Yes, across Maharashtra and for destination weddings.
Can we book only some functions?
Yes. Tell us which.
Do you work with a second photographer?
For larger weddings often yes.
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.
What does the venue give vendors?
Ask for it and send it on. It answers access, timing and restrictions in one go.
