Frequently Asked Questions

Transparency, Deliverables & Planning

Everything you need to know about our booking process, crew size, camera equipment, drone permissions, delivery timelines, and luxury heirloom albums.

Q01 How early should we book TASVEERKARR for our destination wedding?

Because we take a strictly limited number of weddings per season (typically no more than 20 to 25 couples annually) to ensure deep personal creative involvement, prime dates (November through March) typically book 6 to 12 months in advance. We recommend reaching out as soon as your venue and dates are finalized.

Booking & Investment
Q02 What is your booking retainer and payment schedule?

To lock your dates on our master calendar, we require a 50% advance retainer along with a signed service agreement. 40% is payable 15 days prior to the first event day, and the remaining 10% balance is settled upon delivery of the online high-resolution photo gallery.

Booking & Investment
Q03 How are crew travel, flight, and hotel logistics handled for destination weddings?

For destination celebrations outside Ahmedabad (such as Udaipur, Jaipur, Jodhpur, Goa, Kerala, or international locations), round-trip flights or transit, local airport transfers, and decent hotel accommodation (preferably at or adjacent to the wedding venue) are provided or reimbursed by the client.

Booking & Investment
Q04 What is your policy if we need to postpone or shift our dates?

If unexpected circumstances arise, we make every effort to accommodate your new dates at no additional penalty, subject to our availability. If the new dates are already booked by another couple, your retainer remains valid for any alternative event or studio session within 12 months.

Booking & Investment
Q05 How many edited photos will we receive?

For a standard 3-day luxury destination wedding (spanning Mehendi, Haldi, Sangeet, Wedding, and Reception), you typically receive 800 to 1,500 meticulously color-corrected, high-resolution master images. Every image delivered is individually hand-graded for skin tones, exposure, and color harmony.

Deliverables & Timelines
Q06 What is your delivery timeline for wedding photos and cinematic films?

We share an exclusive Social Media Sneak Peek (30-50 curated highlight frames) within 5 to 7 days post-wedding. The complete high-resolution photo gallery is delivered within 4 to 6 weeks. The 4K Cinematic Teaser (3-5 mins) is delivered in 6 to 8 weeks, followed by the Full Wedding Documentary Film (25-45 mins) and handcrafted flush-mount heirloom albums within 10 to 12 weeks.

Deliverables & Timelines
Q07 Do you provide RAW unprocessed files and uncut video footage?

Yes. While our primary artistic deliverable is the curated, color-graded story, we recognize the historical importance of family archives. We are happy to provide the complete collection of raw unedited camera files and uncut ceremony footage upon request, delivered on a client-provided high-speed SSD.

Deliverables & Timelines
Q08 What makes your heirloom flush-mount wedding albums unique?

Our albums are custom-designed hand-bound heirlooms printed on 250gsm archival Fuji Crystal silk/matte paper with lay-flat panoramic binding. Encased in genuine Italian leather, Belgian linen, or royal velvet with laser-engraved monogramming, they are crafted to resist fading and moisture for generations.

Deliverables & Timelines
Q09 What is the difference between Candid and Traditional coverage in your packages?

Candid photography is photojournalistic, emotional, and unobtrusive—capturing authentic tears, laughs, spontaneous dances, and editorial couple portraits without forced smiles. Traditional photography ensures all formal family stage portraits, rituals, and arriving guests are cleanly documented with proper studio lighting.

Team & Creative Style
Q10 Does Himanshu Chauhan personally shoot our wedding?

Yes. When you reserve our bespoke master collection, Himanshu Chauhan personally leads the visual direction, candid portraits, and cinema pacing on-ground alongside our seasoned team of cinematographers and drone specialists.

Team & Creative Style
Q11 How many crew members will be present at our celebrations?

Team size is tailored to your guest count and itinerary complexity. A typical destination setup features 5 to 8 specialists: 2 Candid Photographers, 1 Traditional Master Photographer, 2-3 Cinema Operators, 1 Drone Pilot, and a Dedicated Technical Data Assistant.

Team & Creative Style
Q12 Can we provide a shot list or Pinterest moodboard?

Absolutely! We encourage you to share your aesthetic inspirations, outfit lookbooks, decor moodboards, and specific VIP family groupings during our pre-production consultation. We study your board to understand your taste while preserving our signature editorial spontaneity.

Team & Creative Style
Q13 What camera gear and audio equipment do you shoot on?

We deploy top-tier full-frame Sony Alpha bodies (FX3, FX6, A7R V, A7 IV) paired with prime G-Master lenses (24mm f/1.4, 35mm f/1.4, 50mm f/1.2, 85mm f/1.4, 135mm f/1.8). Cinema audio is captured via multi-channel wireless Sennheiser and Rode broadcast lavaliers and directional microphones.

Camera Tech & Protocols
Q14 How do you guarantee our footage will never be lost or corrupted?

We enforce a zero-loss redundant protocol: all cameras write simultaneously to dual internal memory cards. Each night, our data assistant clones all cards onto dual high-speed Samsung NVMe SSDs in two separate physical locations, followed by off-site cloud archival upon returning to our Ahmedabad studio.

Camera Tech & Protocols
Q15 Are 4K drone aerials permitted at palace hotels and heritage forts?

We operate DGCA-registered DJI Mavic 3 Cine drones equipped with Hasselblad optics. Many heritage properties (like Udaipur City Palace or Jaipur forts) require pre-cleared permissions or nominal permit fees. Our studio coordinates with venue management in advance to ensure compliant, safe aerial filming.

Camera Tech & Protocols
Q16 How do you handle low-light night sangeets and pheras?

We carry portable high-CRI Godox and Aputure continuous cinematic LED lights and off-camera radio-triggered flashes. This allows us to create rich, cinematic dimensionality even in pitch-dark open-air lawns without blinding your guests with harsh halogen floodlights.
