How do colors and themes affect our photos?
Colors, light, decor — they shape the visual story. Here are quick tips per event:
Haldi
- Wear: Mustard, white, or turmeric tones
- Vibe: Minimal, natural daylight, marigolds
- Avoid: Reflective/shiny fabrics
Sangeet
- Wear: Metallics, dark greens, midnight blues
- Vibe: High-energy, neutral lighting
- Tip: Avoid neon LEDs — soft warm lights are better!
Wedding
- Outfit + mandap coordination is key
- Choose warm palettes: Ivory, Rust, Rose Gold
- Let us know ceremony timings for best light
Reception
- Think: Classic. Elegant. Timeless.
- Wear: Wine, Black, Silver
- Keep stage simple to let the couple stand out
Tip: Share outfits and moodboards with us early — we’ll sync lighting and poses to match.
How should we plan our wedding with photography in mind?
- Share your event flow with us early
- Add buffer time between rituals

How can we be natural in photos?
You don’t need to pose — just be present. Let us do the rest. Relax, be yourself, take short breathers with your partner, smile genuinely and dance wildly. Trust us to capture it all.
