Wedding photography guides for couples

Élan Films publishes 13 wedding photography guides: what to ask a photographer, what coverage costs in India and in Bangalore, candid versus traditional, drone rules, the South Indian muhurtham, and running orders for Kannada, Kodava, Christian and Muslim weddings. Each shows when it was published and last reviewed.

What we would tell you if you were sitting across the table: how photography is actually priced, what the words on every package mean, and the questions that tell you something about a studio. Including the ones you should ask us.

Where to start

If you are about to meet photographers, read what to ask a wedding photographer first. It is short and it changes the conversation. If the question is money, what wedding photography costs in India explains why two quotes for the same day can differ tenfold, and the Bangalore cost guide narrows it to Bengaluru.

If your wedding has an early muhurtham, a church service or a Nikah, the ceremony guides describe what a photographer needs to agree with your family beforehand. They describe what is widely documented; your family's own order is the one that counts, so write it down for whoever you book.

These guides are the reasoning we would give you across a table, written down so you can check it against anyone else's. The studio is new, so they describe how coverage gets planned rather than weddings we have shot.
