Questions
Wedding photography questions, answered
Élan Films answers the common wedding photography questions on the page that covers each topic: costs on the pricing page, crew on the coverage pages, drones and muhurtham light in the guides, and each location on its own guide. The questions about the studio itself are answered here.
Including the awkward ones. Where the honest answer is "it depends", we say what it depends on rather than giving you a number that is wrong for your wedding.

About the studio
Is Élan Films a new studio?
Yes. The studio is new and says so rather than padding the site with borrowed work. Practically, that means you should ask harder questions than you would ask an established studio, and expect written answers about who is shooting, what happens in bad light, and what you get and when.
Where is Élan Films based?
In Nagasandra, north-west Bengaluru: 241, Yashas, 8th Cross Rd, 5th Block HMT Layout, Gopal Nagar, Venugopal Nagar, Nagasandra, Bengaluru 560073. Consultations are by appointment, arranged through the enquiry form.
Which areas does Élan Films cover?
Bengaluru and the places around it (Coorg, Chikmagalur, Mysuru, Hampi, Kabini and Sakleshpur), Goa and Kerala. Destination pre-wedding shoots in Sri Lanka, Thailand and Bali are quoted separately. Outside Bengaluru, crew travel and stay are shown as their own line.
Are the photographs on this site Élan weddings?
No. They are reference photographs by other photographers, credited under each image with the source and licence. Élan has no published weddings yet. When it does, they will be shown as complete sets with the couple's permission.
How do we check whether our date is free?
Send your name and WhatsApp number through the enquiry form. The month, the place and roughly how many events help if you know them. The first answer is about the date, free or not free, in writing.
