Questions
Parsi Wedding
- Do you have photographers who have shot Parsi Weddings?
- Yes. We assign crews who already know the Parsi ritual order, including Rupia Peravanu, Madhavsaro, Achumichu, so nobody has to be told where to stand.
- What time does a Parsi Wedding usually happen?
- Evening ceremonies at the agiary or baug.
- How many photographers do we need for a Parsi 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?
- Rupia Peravanu (Engagement); Madhavsaro (Tree planting ritual); Achumichu (Welcome ritual with egg, coconut and rice); Ara Antar (Curtain between the couple). These are unrepeatable, so the crew is positioned before they start.
