  • “They saw what I missed”

    Two photographers caught the shubho drishti from both sides, and my father crying during the sampradan, which I never saw that night. Sneak peek the next evening, album in 19 days.

  • “Calm, even with a crying baby”

    Our son wailed through the mukhe bhaat and they still found the funny, gentle moments. 160 edited photos in under two weeks, and nobody stood on a chair in front of the elders.

  • “Worth the 4:30 am alarm”

    Prinsep Ghat at sunrise and a north Kolkata rajbari in the afternoon. They sorted the permission, told us what to wear and kept it fun. The one-minute reel did the rounds of both families.

  • “Respectful and quick”

    They covered our nikah and walima with the same care, sent a woman photographer for the bride's room and the film made my mother cry. Clear quote, no surprise charges.

  • “Nervous going in, glad after”

    Ninety minutes in the studio, two outfits, lots of patience. Retouching was natural, not plastic. Prints took a few days longer than promised, but they are on our wall now.

Questions

Before you book

Dates, advances, travel, deliverables and changes of plan.

Ask anything on WhatsApp
How early should we book a wedding date?
For November to February and Baishakh weddings, six to nine months ahead; the popular panjika dates go first. Weekday dates outside the season are often free four to six weeks out. The calendar above shows sample availability, and we confirm the real position on WhatsApp.
How do we block a date?
A 30% advance blocks the date and the team. The balance is due when your edited gallery is delivered, and album printing starts once you approve the design.
How many photos will we get?
It depends on the events and the size of the team; the package builder estimates it. A wedding night with two photographers usually comes to 450–600 edited photos. Every delivered photo is colour-graded; we don't hand over unedited duplicates.
Do you travel outside Kolkata?
Yes. Travel within 60 km of Salt Lake is included. Beyond that we add the team's actual travel and stay, quoted before you book. Santiniketan, Mandarmani, Puri and Darjeeling are regular trips.
Can we get the RAW files?
We deliver full-resolution edited JPEGs on a private online gallery and a pen drive. RAW files aren't part of a package, but we can archive them for you for a year for a small fee.
What happens if our date changes?
Your advance moves to a new date once, free, if we're available that day. If we're booked on the new date, we refund the advance minus ₹5,000.
Do you cover non-Bengali weddings and other events?
Yes: Marwari, Punjabi, Muslim and Christian weddings, mixed ceremonies, pujas, birthdays and corporate evenings. Tell us the rituals in your enquiry so we plan the right team and timings.
