Frequently Asked Questions

We call it Cinematic Storytelling - documentary honesty layered with editorial polish. Rather than simply record how your wedding looked, we're drawn to how it felt: the light, the glances, the quiet seconds between the planned moments. Every frame is composed with intention, so your memories read less like snapshots and more like art.
Before photography, we spent over a decade in Visual Effects and 3D Animation - so light is a language we already speak fluently. Whether it's a candlelit reception, a dimly lit cathedral, or a dance floor washed in a single spotlight, we bring our own lighting and technical craft to keep every frame cinematic and true.
We never ask for stiff, rehearsed poses. Instead, we offer gentle direction when required - creating space for you to simply be together: talking, laughing, walking - while we watch for the light and the moment. Most of our couples tell us they forgot we were even there.

We split our time between Vancouver, Canada and Vadodara, India.
- March – November: Based in Vancouver (No travel fees for Metro Vancouver).
- December – February: Based in India (No travel fees for Vadodara/Gujarat).
- For weddings outside these zones, we charge standard travel expenses.
We keep it simple. We arrive at least a day before your first event, so we have time to scout the location and some buffer if travel gets delayed. For costs like flights, stay, and local transport, we're happy to give you one flat-rate quote so everything's on a single invoice - or if you'd rather book those yourself, that works too.
Even if we haven't, that's honestly never been a problem for us. We do our research ahead of time and always visit the venue in person before the wedding. Coming in with fresh eyes usually means we find angles and light that feel unique to your day, not repeated from someone else's.

You get us - Sachin and Ritvika, photographing together, every time. It's always just the two of us, no associates, no substitutes : two experienced photographers who know exactly what the other is capturing, working as one.
Yes, absolutely - family portraits matter, and we treat them that way. We build a streamlined shot list with you (or your planner) ahead of time, so formals move quickly and you're back to celebrating within minutes, not an hour.
We treat videographers as creative partners, not competition for the frame. Our documentary approach means we move alongside the video team, capturing natural moments without crowding the shot. We're glad to coordinate directly with whoever you choose, so the day runs smoothly for everyone.

We believe in quality over quantity, but we never artificially cap a great gallery. It depends on the scale of your celebration:
- Western Weddings: 400–600 curated images.
- Multi-Day South Asian Weddings: 600+ images per day, depending on the scale of events.
A Sneak Peek of 20–30 highlight images arrives within a week - enough to share while the excitement is still fresh. Your full curated gallery follows within 8 to 12 weeks.
A RAW file is the unprocessed capture straight off the camera - flat, dull, nowhere near what you see in our portfolio. The look you love comes from what happens after: the color grading, the retouching, the craft we put into every image. We treat editing as half the artistry, not an afterthought, so every photo you receive is fully finished, not raw data for you to sort through yourself.

We accept a limited number of commissions each year, so every couple gets our full creative focus. Dates are secured with a signed contract and a 50% retainer.
