Questions
Rajput Wedding
- Do you have photographers who have shot Rajput Weddings?
- Yes. We assign crews who already know the Rajput ritual order, including Tilak, Ganpati Sthapana, Ghudchadi, so nobody has to be told where to stand.
- What time does a Rajput Wedding usually happen?
- Night ceremonies with heavy decor lighting.
- How many photographers do we need for a Rajput 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?
- Tilak (Formal acceptance with a sword); Ganpati Sthapana (Ritual start); Ghudchadi (Groom on horseback); Toran Maar (Striking the toran). These are unrepeatable, so the crew is positioned before they start.
