Across the weekend
- Mehndi and Sangeet
- Haldi and the family events
- The Baraat and the ceremony
- The reception, and the dancing that follows it
Two photographers are there for the moments that happen at the same time in different places, like the Baraat beginning while the bride finishes getting ready. Sixteen hours is generous, but it is still sixteen hours: if the celebration runs longer, we add the coverage rather than stretch these.
Example · a three-day celebration
Sixteen hours. Three days. One story.
The coverage follows the events, not the clock. The long breaks between them don't use your hours.

FAQ
Which events can you photograph?
Coverage can include events such as Mehndi, Haldi, Sangeet, Baraat, ceremony, reception and additional family or pre-wedding gatherings. Every wedding is different, so we build coverage around your actual schedule.
What if our muhurat falls in harsh midday light?
The ceremony happens when it has to happen; I would never move a muhurat for better light. What moves is the photography around it: a first session before, shade, architecture and interiors during the difficult hours, and another window later for the portraits.
What about rooms and resort access for the team?
Across a multi-day celebration, how the team gets into the resort each day, and whether it stays on site, is settled with your program and with the hotel before anything is final. It is one of the things that shapes the coverage, so tell me early what the hotel offers vendors.
When do we get our photos?
You will see a set of sneak peeks within the first week, so you are not waiting to see anything. Your full high-resolution gallery is delivered digitally, with final retouched photographs within about 45 business days after you make your proof selections. The sooner you pick, the sooner retouching starts.
How do we book?
A signed agreement and a 30% retainer (plus tax) hold your date exclusively. The remaining balance is due as set out in your agreement.
What if we need to move or cancel the date?
The retainer is non-refundable, because your date is held exclusively for you. Any change to the date, the collection or the services has to be approved by Diptych Studio in writing, so tell me as early as you can. Moving up to a larger collection can be approved at any time, subject to availability; moving down after booking is not guaranteed.
What about the venue’s outside vendor fee?
Most resorts charge an outside vendor fee or require a day pass for external photographers. The resort sets it and charges it, not me, and they change it often, so treat any figure you find as an approximate reference. Ask your wedding coordinator at the hotel to confirm the amount for your date in writing, and ask whether there is any flexibility: some hotels waive or reduce it. Once it is settled, I handle the logistics with your planner.
Any questions, just reply to my email.
I'll tell you whether this is where I would begin for your celebration, or point you somewhere else.
