Wedding Photography in Yerawada, Pune

Where these functions actually happen

The house cannot hold it, so the function spills into whatever space is nearest.

A wedding in a settled neighbourhood is not confined to a venue. It occupies a house, a lane, a hall and everything in between.

Which makes movement most of the job. The haldi is in a courtyard or a shared space, the getting-ready is in two rooms on different floors, the ceremony is at a hall, and people move between all of it continuously. A photographer standing in one place misses most of the day.

It also makes the guest list enormous and largely known to each other. The group photographs multiply accordingly, and they are the ones the family will actually ask for afterwards — so they get planned into the running order rather than squeezed in at the end.

Tell us the venues and the timings early, including the informal ones. The half hour at the house before anyone leaves for the hall is consistently among the best of the entire wedding, and it is the part most likely to be left off a schedule.

That makes movement most of the job. A photographer standing in one place misses most of the day, and the schedule has to account for travel between spaces that are technically the same event.

Movement is worth restating because it is the thing that most often goes wrong. Functions that occupy a house, a lane and a hall need the schedule to include travel between spaces that are nominally the same event.

The half hour at the house before leaving is consistently among the best of the wedding, and it is the part most likely to be missing from a schedule entirely.

Group photographs multiply at weddings like these. A written list is not bureaucracy; it is the only way everyone who should be in one ends up in one.
