Showers and Dohale Jevan in Lohegaon — where a good share of the guests arrive the same morning and leave the next day.
A guest list in transit
Half the people in this room got here today and leave tomorrow.
When the guests are travelling in for the occasion, the room is at its fullest exactly once and for a shorter time than anyone expects.
That compresses the coverage. The group photographs cannot wait for a natural lull, because there is not going to be one — people arrive tired, the ritual starts, and by the time the meal is finished someone is already leaving for a flight.
So the family groups get taken early and deliberately, with a list agreed beforehand. It takes ten minutes and it is the only reliable way to end up with a frame containing everyone who travelled to be there.
The ritual itself is unchanged and we cover it as we would anywhere — the blessings, the elders, the mother-to-be seated with the family around her. It is the photographs of who came that need the planning.

The ritual itself is unchanged and we cover it as anywhere. It is the photographs of who came that need the planning.
With guests arriving the same day, it is worth deciding beforehand whether the group photographs happen before or after the ritual.
Before is usually better — people are fresher, nobody has eaten, and the room is at its fullest.
After the meal, the numbers start falling and the frame you wanted becomes the frame you can get.
Getting ready
Guests arriving the same day
Send a group photograph list beforehand. With people arriving and leaving around the function, waiting for a natural gap does not work.
Ask anyone travelling to arrive with enough margin to be photographed, rather than straight from a journey into the ritual.
Put anything sent from family somewhere it can be photographed early.
Planning it
What we plan around
Who is travelling and when they arrive, because it decides when the groups can happen.
What time the function genuinely starts.
And how much of the day you want covered.

Several guests are flying in and out around the day.
Then the group photographs happen early, from a list you send beforehand. Waiting for a natural gap does not work when people are leaving for flights.
Do you know the Dohale Jevan sequence?
Yes. Knowing what comes next lets us be in position rather than reacting, which matters when the day is compressed.
It is at home rather than a hall.
Fine, and common. Tell us which rooms you will use and roughly how many people, and we will plan around it.
Which areas around Lohegaon do you cover?
Lohegaon, Dhanori, Vishrantwadi, Tingre Nagar, Viman Nagar, Wadgaon Sheri and Kalyani Nagar are the closest, and we cover functions across Pune.

Which areas do you cover?
Lohegaon, Dhanori, Vishrantwadi, Tingre Nagar, Viman Nagar, Wadgaon Sheri and Kalyani Nagar.
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.
Can family abroad get images quickly?
Tell us at booking and we will prioritise a small set.
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.
How soon do we receive the photographs?
Confirmed in writing at booking rather than left open, which matters more when the date could not move.
Can we get a few images quickly?
Tell us at booking if it matters and we will prioritise a small set.
Do you travel outside Pune?
Yes, with travel agreed upfront before anything is booked.
Can we discuss the plan before booking?
Yes, and on a fixed date we would encourage it. A short conversation beforehand is what makes an immovable booking work.
What happens if you are unavailable on our date?
We will tell you immediately rather than holding a tentative slot, so you have time to find an alternative.
Do you take short-notice bookings?
Regularly. Ask rather than assuming it is too late — we would rather tell you honestly what is open.
Can we change the plan closer to the date?
The plan yes, the date rarely. Tell us what has changed and we will adapt the coverage around it.
Send us the group list
Who travelled, and who must be in a photograph with whom. Ten minutes on the day covers it.
