So I have secured ABCI for my shaadi in regards to cinematography and photography.
Now my question is in regards to photography:
They said that they will be covering the event from 1pm - 1 am which includes Bridal & groom prep and a possible park shoot (if time is available).
Call me old school… but I want the first time that my fiance sees me in my full bridal get up is when I walk into that reception hall.
So does this mean I totally forego the park shoot? It would be so luvely to have one…
Shaadi will begin at 5:30 pm with a cocktail hour. I am assuming at 6:30 is when baraat arrives. 7pm when Nikkah occurs (and I will be in a separate room) …and after Nikkah happens - I will go enter the hall.
By the time rings are exchanged and a few rasms have occurred and its dinner time … it will probably be dark I am assuming (July wedding).
Any advice… suggestions?
Re: Bridal photography question
dont people usually do their park shoots on the day of the valima? From what I know, what Im doing, and what all my friends have done, on the day of the shaadi, they dont do a park shoot, but after dinner, or usually during dinner, they go into the lobby of the hall, or outside the hall, and do a small photoshoot there, and then on the day of the valima, in the afternoon before the event, they go together and have their park/outdoors shoot.
Is ABCi covering all 3 days or just your shaadi?
Re: Bridal photography question
In this scenario, a valeema shoot seems more practical.
Re: Bridal photography question
If you are not changing your dress after Nikah then you should go for the outdoor shoot on valima day, otherwise you can do the outdoor shoot the same day between 4-5 in your nikah dress, go to the hall and complete the nikah ceremony (first part), change your dress and look and enter the hall for dinner and party with the new style.

Thanks for your input ... i think I am going to do the same.... as you suggested. After dinner or during dinner - do the shoot then.
ABCi is only covering my shaadi.

Thanks - I agree. Just needed confirmation from my guppans I guess :)

Ahh - not changing my dress. Keeping the same dress. I think I will just be sticking to saima's suggestion.. just confirms what i was thinking. Whatever shoot that is possible during/after dinner is what I will go with.
but thank u for your suggestion :)
Re: Bridal photography question
In your senario, a during/after dinner shoot sounds much feasible. A few bridal protraits can be shot before this after getting ready.
Would the photographer be with you after rukhsati? That way you can have shots of you entering your new house or any other brightly lit up place you find while reaching it.
Some photographers have an option of an engagement shoot for free just to know the copule. If ABCI has this option you can ask them for an After-Wedding shoot instead.

I think I will have some of my bridal portraits taken along with pics with my bridesmaids and family members before the Shaadi. Pics with the hubby during/after the dinner :)
My rukhsati is going to be funny...we are going to leave the hotel ... drive around for a bit..and then come back to the same hotel. hahaha. It will be funny because not only will all of our family members will be staying there, and MANY of our guests... but also ABCI. LOL.
I probably will not want any pics taken after rukhsati...i am going to be a hot mess. I get teary eyed just thinking about it already!

I am going to use Binita Patel for my post wedding shoot :)
