Questions
NRI Wedding
- Do you have photographers who have shot NRI Weddings?
- Yes. We assign crews who already know the NRI ritual order, including Compressed Function Schedule, Live Streamed Ceremony, Fast Preview Delivery, so nobody has to be told where to stand.
- What time does a NRI Wedding usually happen?
- Usually December-January or May-June travel windows.
- How many photographers do we need for a NRI 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?
- Compressed Function Schedule (Multiple functions in fewer days); Live Streamed Ceremony (For family who could not travel); Fast Preview Delivery (Before the couple flies back). These are unrepeatable, so the crew is positioned before they start.
