Birthday coverage in Wanowrie — including the hour before and the hour after, which is where the quiet frames are.
Before and after
The two best stretches of a birthday are usually the ones nobody books.
The hour before, when the child is being got ready and the room is being finished, and the stretch afterwards when everybody has gone.
During the party itself everything is loud, fast and crowded, and the photographs reflect that, which is correct and is what a party looks like.
The quiet frames — a child alone with a new toy, parents sitting down for the first time all day, wrapping paper everywhere — come from either side of it.
Those are the ones that end up framed, and they cost very little because they need no arrangement at all.
It is worth extending the booking slightly at one end rather than adding time in the middle, which mostly produces more of the same.
Ask which end is worth it for your particular party and we will say honestly.
It is worth photographing the room before it is decorated as well as after.
The ordinary living room, about to be turned into something else, is the version that no longer exists once the decorations are up.
Children remember the house rather than the decor, and the house is the thing that goes unrecorded.
It is also worth covering the food being put out and the parents doing it.
At a children's party the adults are working continuously and appear in almost nothing, which is the same pattern as at every other kind of function.
Naming that as something you want takes one sentence.
Getting ready
Extending at the ends
Consider extending at one end rather than adding time in the middle, which mostly produces more of the same.
The hour before covers getting ready and the finished room; the stretch after covers the quiet frames.
Send three or four names of people who must appear.

Which is better, before or after?
Depends on the party. Tell us how it will run and we will say honestly which end is worth it.
Is the party itself not the point?
It is what you booked and it gets covered properly. The quiet frames simply come from either side of it.
Which areas do you cover?
Wanowrie, Fatima Nagar, Ghorpadi, Hadapsar, Salunke Vihar, Wadgaon Sheri and Koregaon Park.
Can you cover a party at home?
Yes. Tell us which rooms and how many people.
Do you photograph the games?
Yes, and they produce the best candids.
Our venue has a fixed end time.
Then group photographs move earlier.
Photo and video?
Tell us at booking, since they compete during the cake.
Does this replace what we booked?
Never. Whatever you booked is the main part of the session and gets done properly. This is an addition, usually ten or fifteen minutes.
It feels strange to ask for.
It does, and it stops feeling strange about five minutes in. That reluctance is extremely common and it is not a reason to skip it.
Do we need to prepare anything for it?
No, and preparing would defeat it. The point is the thing as it actually is rather than as it would be if it had been arranged.
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.
