IF YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW
If you’ve been to an Indian destination wedding in Mexico or the Caribbean, you've really seen the light of how every moment can be so precious, how there is so much beyond just the events to capture, and how no matter how much you cram in ...you still don't get to do and try everything you wanted to!
Our photo and film style is BOLD, VIBRANT, and CAPTIVATING - there is a reason it is loved and booked by so many couples ❤️
YOU'LL NEED REAL PROFESSIONALS
However you plan your multiple day wedding out of country...one thing for certain is to INVEST in an experienced wedding photo and film team that has done several of these styled events;
because as fun as they are... south asian destination weddings are a TON of work.. both on location and afterwards throughout the editing process.
It makes sense to have creatives you can trust and get along with throughout your week 😊
Lets Explore some "Things You Should Know If Having A Destination South Asian Wedding" in this blog; featuring just a few samples from our beautiful couple Sanchita & Blair's week long event at Planet Hollywood Cancun.
This specific wedding resulted in over 2000 delivered images, a cinematic 30 minute highlight film as well as a 4+ hour raw footage playback.
Below we will share just a glimpse into how this South Asian wedding week unfolded.
Lets start off with the actual travel, arrival, and welcome party process 🔥
Yes, if there is allocated time in your package, we'll absolutely cover even moments like these through photo/video if doable!
PRICING
Photography /film packages for destination weddings are the same as our advertised packages in Canada. The only additional consideration for our clients is Airfare/Hotel accommodations for the photographers/filmmakers as well as any additional production time added to your base package.
TIP Many resorts offer a free trip when you book a minimum number of rooms and many of our brides/grooms have taken advantage of this by using that free trip to offset our travel!
In our experience with South Asian Destination weddings, we can manage to produce beautiful results with 2 creatives on team if booking videography or photography solo - and a minimum team of 3 creatives if bundling up BOTH film and photography together with us.
A crew that can work together as a team from the same company makes a HUGE difference in final results.
We make it incredibly easy to book directly on our website and split your payment totals into several small instalments up until AFTER the wedding/editing - talk about convenient!
Next up in the blog, we have the Pithi ceremony or the "event with the yellow stuff" as we like to call it 😂
These captures are always fun!
Over 10 years of experience. Best rates. Full support.
It’s important to make sure your destination wedding photographers and videographers have experience with travel.
The biggest myth about having a destination Indian wedding is that it will be more expensive than having the wedding in your home-town; the answer is Not Necessarily. Any good quality product doesn’t come cheap. And so is the case with good wedding photography and cinematography. We’ve had countless couples come back and tell us that spending on wedding photography/film was the best decision they made for their wedding.
Next Up, Some captures from Sanchita & Blair's Sangeet Night 🙌❤️
BACK UPS. BACK UPS. BACK UPS
Even if the wedding is small, there are things to consider like cameras, lenses and memory back-ups.
Can your photographers/videographers manage if one of their cameras, lenses, cards or any other piece of equipment fails in the middle of the wedding week?
It’s important because replacements or repairs in some of the destinations aren’t easy. So the team should be prepared for any situation and should be able to adapt to different environments. We personally back up our captures onto multiple storage areas and often sit long hours in our hotel rooms on location after every event making sure everything is safe and secured for peace of mind. Plus we always have at least 2 cameras each - minimum!
Next up, some HENNA and a POOL PARTY for the GUESTS 😍
