FAQ

Questions we hear often.

Everything you need to know before beginning your chapter with us.

How far in advance should we book?

+

We recommend reaching out six to twelve months before your wedding date. We take on a limited number of weddings each season to ensure every couple receives our full attention. For peak-season dates (November through February), earlier is better.

Do you travel for destination weddings?

+

Absolutely. While we are based in Ahmedabad, we regularly cover weddings across Gujarat, Rajasthan, Goa, and other parts of India. International destinations are welcome — travel logistics and any additional costs are discussed transparently during our initial conversation.

What is your pricing structure?

+

Our collections begin with a base investment that varies by service — wedding film, photography, or a combined chapter. Every wedding is different, so we build custom proposals after understanding your celebrations, venues, and vision. Reach out for a detailed quote tailored to your day.

How long does it take to receive the final deliverables?

+

Curated photo galleries are typically delivered within four to six weeks. Wedding films take eight to twelve weeks, depending on the complexity of the edit. We do not rush — every frame is graded, every cut is intentional. You will receive progress updates along the way.

Do you provide raw footage or unedited photos?

+

We do not deliver raw footage or unedited files. Our process — from selection to colour grading to pacing — is integral to the final result. What you receive is a finished, curated chapter, not a hard drive of everything we captured.

Can we customise a package to include both film and photography?

+

Yes, and most of our couples do. Combined chapters are our signature offering — the film and photography are crafted with a unified visual language so everything feels like one story, not two separate vendors.

How many photographers or videographers will be present?

+

This depends on the scale of your celebration. A single-day intimate wedding may need one photographer and one filmmaker. Larger, multi-day celebrations typically have a second photographer and an additional camera operator. We plan the team with you well in advance.

What equipment do you use?

+

We shoot with professional cinema and mirrorless camera systems — chosen for low-light performance, colour science, and discretion. We do not bring lighting rigs or equipment that disrupts the room. Our gear is selected to stay invisible while the results speak.

Will you direct us during the shoot?

+

Gently, when needed. We are not the type to script your day or pose you into stiffness. Our direction is quiet and minimal — a suggestion to turn toward the light, a moment to pause. The goal is images that feel lived-in, not performed.

What happens if it rains or conditions change on the day?

+

Weather is part of the story. Some of our most beautiful work has come from overcast skies and unexpected rain. We adapt in the moment — finding new pockets of light, adjusting timelines, and ensuring the day still feels cinematic regardless of conditions.

Do you offer albums or prints?

+

Yes. We offer handcrafted fine-art albums and museum-quality prints as add-ons. Album design is handled in-house with the same editorial eye we bring to our galleries. Details and pricing are shared after your gallery delivery.

How do we get started?

+

Simply reach out through our contact page, email us at hello@theweddingchapter.co, or call. We will set up a quiet conversation — no pressure, no hard sell — to understand your day and see if we are the right fit for each other.
