Shooting a punjabi wedding in Alibag
Alibag is Mumbai's beach-villa wedding belt. Most celebrations run over two or three days in a private property, with a beach haldi, a lawn sangeet and pheras at sunset. Salt air and wind are the two things every crew has to plan for.
Ceremony mid-morning, baraat before it, reception at night. In Alibag that usually means the crew is at the venue well before the family, with lighting already rigged for the mandap.
Season note: November to February is ideal. October and March work. Monsoon is closed for outdoor functions but excellent for moody shoots.
Reached by ro-ro ferry or the coastal road; our crew travels the night before so morning functions are never at risk.

Questions
Punjabi Wedding in Alibag
- Do you have photographers who have shot Punjabi Weddings in Alibag?
- Yes. We assign crews who already know the Punjabi ritual order, including Roka and Chunni Chadhana, Sangeet and Ladies Sangeet, Chooda and Kalire, so nobody has to be told where to stand.
- What time does a Punjabi Wedding usually happen?
- Ceremony mid-morning, baraat before it, reception at night.
- How many photographers do we need for a Punjabi 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?
- Roka and Chunni Chadhana (Formal acceptance and dupatta ceremony); Sangeet and Ladies Sangeet (Performance night); Chooda and Kalire (Bangles from the maternal uncle); Ghodi Chadhna (Groom on the mare before the baraat). These are unrepeatable, so the crew is positioned before they start.
