What is the best time of day for a pre-wedding shoot in Pune?

The first ninety minutes after sunrise and the last hour before sunset. Midday light in Pune is harsh and flattens skin tones, so we schedule around those two windows.

Do we need permission for these locations?

Public streets and beaches usually do not require permission for a small crew. Forts, private estates, heritage properties and resorts do, and we handle the request once the location is confirmed.

How long does a pre-wedding shoot take?

A half-day covers one or two locations with two outfits. A full day covers three to four locations and works better when travel between spots is involved.

Planning

Timing, weather and travel

Pune weddings run the full range, from a three-hour Marathi muhurat in a Peth wada to a three-day banquet celebration on the Mumbai-Bangalore highway belt. Most muhurats fall early in the morning, so the working light is soft and the schedule is tight.

Season note: November to February gives clear mornings and comfortable evenings. Monsoon weddings (June-September) need covered mandap plans and fast lenses.

Our Pune team covers the full PMC and PCMC belt plus Lonavala, Ahmednagar and Nashik as a same-day drive.
