The functions before the wedding, photographed around Viman Nagar and east Pune — usually at home, usually chaotic, and usually where the best photographs of the whole week are.
Three functions, three problems
These are not one event. They are three, and each one breaks differently.
Haldi is bright, messy and outdoors or in a courtyard. Mehendi is slow, seated and detailed. Sangeet is dark, loud and moving.
No single approach covers all three, which is why they are so often the weakest photographs in a wedding set. Haldi needs someone willing to get turmeric on their equipment. Mehendi is hours of stillness with two or three minutes that matter. Sangeet is a low-light performance shot from among the audience.
They also tend to happen at the house rather than a venue, across consecutive days, with the family in the middle of everything else. Being close by is what makes it practical to arrive early to each one and to come back the next morning without the whole thing becoming an expedition.
Photographically this is where the week loosens up. Nobody is posing, the grandparents are involved, and the frames families keep are almost always from these days rather than from the ceremony itself.

Can you cover all three functions?
Yes, and it is the usual booking. They run on consecutive days more often than not, so we plan them as a block rather than three separate jobs.
Our haldi is at home in a small courtyard. Is there enough room?
Almost always. Small spaces are normal for haldi and they photograph well — everyone is close together, which is the point of the function.
Sangeet is at night with stage lighting. How do you handle that?
By working with the lighting rather than against it. Stage light is dramatic and using it is what makes the photographs look like the evening actually looked.
Do you photograph the mehendi design itself?
Yes, and it is worth allowing a few minutes for it once the hands are finished and before everything smudges. It is the one part of the day that is genuinely a detail shot.
Which areas do you cover for haldi and mehendi functions?
Homes and halls across Viman Nagar, Wadgaon Sheri, Chandan Nagar, Kharadi, Kalyani Nagar, Lohegaon and Yerawada, and venues along Nagar Road. Consecutive-day functions in one area are far easier to cover well than ones spread across the city.
