What is your style of wedding photography?
Over the years, I have developed my unique and signature style of photography can be considered to be a fusion of Candid, Contemporary, Fine Art and Photojournalistic Wedding photography. Every photo assignment is different and depending on the situation, ambience and mood, I think about how to best use my artistic vision to tell your story. To create a complete story the wedding festivities, I shoot candid as well as some gorgeous posed portraits of the bride and groom and their immediate family.
What do you cover in the wedding?
We prefer to shoot right from the beginning of the rituals of the day until all the wedding festivities are over. In a wedding, this would include shots of Bridal make-up, jewellery, outfits, venue, decor, bride and groom getting ready, their portraits – individual and together, portraits of immediate family members, guests those who actively participate in the wedding, all the ceremonies & rituals – creative close-ups and documentary wide angle shots.
In addition, we will try to take any particular shots that our client requests us. However, one must also consider that situations that maybe beyond and control and coverage.
Do you provide cinematography or videography?
We have an in-house fantastic cinematography team who are very experienced in Indian Wedding. We will be happy to quote for videography or cinematography if you feel you need and want a film of your wedding done.
How much do you charge?
Our wedding packages starts from as low as 40,000.00 INR and Pre-wedding packages starts from 10,000.00 INR.
The charges are dependent on the type and duration of the shoot. Feel free to drop us a message through our Contact Page with information like location, the type and duration of the event(s) and we will send you options of the Packages you can choose from!
What are your terms of payment?
A booking fee/retainer of 50% is due to reserve your date, and the rest is to be paid on the day of the shoot/event. Post-processing of the images (and video) will begin only after the final payment is completed.
We reserve the right to withhold all the deliverables until the payment has been done in full.
Do you work yourself or with a team?
I as a primary photographer, attend all the shoot. Depending upon the event, we may get along additional photographer(s) to assists with gears and shoots from various angles. For wedding cinematography, we have a separate team of 2-3 videographers. All the members of Aniruddha Pandey Photography (APP) are handpicked young, creative and enthusiast professionals. We all work together seamlessly, so you can be assured of a no-hassle wedding experience!
You are currently out of my budget. Are your charges negotiable?
A wise man once said that photography is not a commodity.
If our prices are out of your budget, we can figure out a smaller package that will work for you and us; negotiating is not something we do because we believe that skill and hard work needs to be valued. We request you to understand that because we do not compromise on the amount of effort we put in; we are in no position to compromise on the payment.
What will I receive from you?
As final product(s) you will receive highest quality images and wedding film according to your chosen packages. You will own “home use rights” to your images which means that you can do pretty much anything you want with them as long as it doesn’t generate any income for yourself or the people you give them to.
Depending on the chosen service and duration of hire, deliverables include soft copies of 50-1000 post-processed images per event. Both low-res and high-res versions of the images will be delivered to you through a cloud drive (we do not deliver DVDs anymore since they are long outdated) and will be available for you to download for up to three months after the images are delivered.
If for some reason, you are not able to download the images by then, please let us know so that we can let them stay longer in the cloud. (Please ensure to make multiple copies on different local and external drives so that you do not lose the data.)
I want a wedding album. Can you quote for that?
All our wedding packages comes with album. However, you can choose to customise your album with your choice from a list of hand-picked hand-made premium albums. (Extra charges may apply depending upon the choice of album). You can also order additional albums at an added cost. For more information drop us a message at our Contact Page.
Which wedding album you provide?
We are always concerned about the quality of products or services we provide to our clients. It also applies for the wedding albums as well. So we have set up our personal album and photo printing facility to provide our clients with top of line print and album. We use papers that are imported from top rated suppliers. We provide handmade albums crafted by our expert team. All our albums comes with a complimentary online album which is available for lifetime. To know more about our albums, follow our blog or drop a message from on our website.
We also work with other third-party album providers. You can also check with us. Just drop a message.
What is the duration of service in hours?
Typically, shooting for 8 hours is considered to be a full-day shoot. Clients are given the option of splitting the packages, to a certain extent, across multiple days. For example, a client can split a three-day package (a 24-hour shoot period) across four days. Please be sure to check with us as this may not be possible during peak wedding seasons. Additionally, it’s quite typical of an Indian wedding to exceed the time limits. So, you’ll definitely want us there from the beginning to the end!
Who owns the copyright of the images?
Aniruddha Pandey Photography reserves the copyright of all images and videos. Clients will be given printing and usage rights. We deliver a set of both low-res and high-res versions of the images. The low-res versions are meant for online display and they’re watermarked with our logo. We request you to upload only watermarked images online and it would be nice if we are tagged along the way. The high-resolution images are not watermarked and can be used for printing purposes.
Can I have all the images, RAW and unedited as well?
As you trust us with our vision, we deliver only edited images. From all the images we shoot during a wedding, we discard all the test shots, shots with missed focus, shots that don’t have good expressions, and any duplicates. The reason we shoot in raw is to ensure that we’re working with the best quality. Raw images require particular software to be readable, and more importantly, they are unfinished. No professional will deliver unfinished work.
More often than not, we deliver more than we promise!
How early should we book?
We generally start taking booking six months earlier, it is always better to start planning your wedding in advance. You can book your dates with us earlier as well. In any case, it is best to check on our availability because it is possible that we are available even until a week or two before your wedding.
How long will it take to delivery my images?
Delivery time can range anywhere from two weeks to two months, depending on the time of the year and my schedule. The average delivery time for the photographs is usually two to four weeks but can sometime take more. In any case, delivery of the final images will be less than 60 days from the time of your wedding. Wedding films take a little longer to deliver. We will deliver the wedding trailer no later than 60 days from the day of the wedding, with the final long version within 120 days.
How long will it take to deliver the album?
Album delivery may take from two to three weeks depending on various factors like which album you have opted for, number of pages, cover type, binding type etc. Also there is process for e-album and order queue. Once the album is ready our logistic partner will pickup the album and will deliver it to you.
If you have opted for the third party album, it generally takes four to eight weeks on an average after you provide us with your selection of images. We always communicate with the company for a hassle-free delivery of the album but we may not be able to provide you with the exact time as it involves work flow other company.
What equipment do you use?
I use Nikon professional gear which include Nikon D750, D850 Cameras and all professional lenses and other equipment depending upon the situations. However, it is really not the camera that creates the image but the person holding it.
The famous American author and journalist Ernest Hemingway once met the legendary photographer Irving Penn at an event.
Ernest Hemingway: “Good pictures, what camera do you use?”
Irving Penn: “What typewriter do you use?”
Can we change date after booking or cancel the booking?
Yes, you can change the date if we are available on the next date. You can also cancel booking but there will be no refund. We do not refund or adjust the amount before or after the execution of the service.
