What questions should you ask an Indian wedding photographer?

Start by asking how many Indian weddings they have shot and whether they know the flow of events like the baraat, pheras and sangeet. Ask if they work with a second shooter or assistant, because Indian weddings often have multiple things happening at once. Check how they handle low light, since many ceremonies take place in dimly lit venues or at night. Ask about their approach to candid versus posed photography, and whether they will direct family groups or work quietly in the background.

You should also ask about delivery timelines, how many edited photos you receive, and whether you get full-resolution files or only a selection. Ask about albums, prints and digital storage, and whether they provide a same-day edit or preview for the reception. Clarify their backup equipment and what happens if they fall ill on the day. Ask about overtime charges and meal arrangements, and whether they have photographed any religious rituals specific to your tradition. Finally, ask to see a full wedding gallery, not just highlights, so you can judge consistency.
