Questions
Christian Wedding
- Do you have photographers who have shot Christian Weddings?
- Yes. We assign crews who already know the Christian ritual order, including Roce, Processional, Exchange of Vows and Rings, so nobody has to be told where to stand.
- What time does a Christian Wedding usually happen?
- Morning or afternoon service, reception in the evening.
- How many photographers do we need for a Christian Wedding?
- Two photographers and one cinematographer is the usual minimum for a single-venue ceremony. Where functions run in parallel, or the guest count crosses four hundred, we add a second team.
- Which rituals matter most photographically?
- Roce (Pre-wedding anointing, common in Goan and Mangalorean families); Processional (Bride's entry with the father); Exchange of Vows and Rings (Core of the service); Nuptial Blessing (Priest's blessing). These are unrepeatable, so the crew is positioned before they start.
