Additionally, any additional services that were not initially agreed upon in the original scope of work, such as online web live streaming or LED screens, will be charged accordingly.
-
Are there any specific time limitations for the shoot hours?Drawing from our extensive expertise in the wedding industry spanning over a decade, we have established set time slots for each specific event, operating on a slot basis. There are no limitations on the number of photographs captured during these events, as our approach is to comprehensively document the entire process. This includes behind-the-scenes moments, makeup application, portrait sessions, capturing intricate details of traditional attire and jewellery, as well as documenting the ambiance, decor, and guests.
-
Will there be a designated team member assigned to liaise with any family members on the day of the event?We provide you with a dedicated Lead Photographer who will serve as MGH's representative for all your last-minute requirements and modifications. This photographer will be present at all of your events, allowing you to inform them about any other important individuals, aside from family members, who require special attention in photographs and videos.
-
What are your requirements from our side for our wedding day?Ideal situations involve no major surprises. We acknowledge that not everything goes according to plan, but we are not referring to those types of surprises. If you desire us to film a moment like someone popping out of a cake and we are unaware of it happening, we will be unable to capture it. Therefore, it is important to stay in contact with us leading up to your wedding and inform us of any changes to the plan. It is always best to capture raw emotions as they occur, rather than trying to recreate them at a later time.
-
What is your suggested timeframe for capturing the getting ready photos/couple portraits/singles?On your special day, it can all become quite overwhelming. Keep in mind that once the day arrives, you won't be able to control every single detail, so there's no need to try. Fortunately, you have a team of willing helpers surrounding you, ready to lend a hand when things go awry. All you have to do is stand there, radiate beauty, and enjoy the precious moments with the people who mean the most to you. Here are a few important things to remember: Allocate a generous 2-3 hours for the getting ready/portrait photo sessions. Let's delve into why this is necessary: 20-30 minutes capturing the first look and portraits of the bride. 20-30 minutes for individual portraits of the groom. 30-45 minutes for capturing intimate couple portraits. Don't forget about the family portraits; allot 20 minutes for this. Often overlooked, it is crucial to ensure that all immediate family members are ready before the guests arrive. Capture these portraits before the main event begins, when everyone is fresh and full of energy. Believe us when we say that you won't regret investing time in these essential moments!
-
Do you mind if guests capture photographs or record the ceremony?We, as individuals, do not have any personal concerns. We do not have any objections if every average person is capturing images, or if someone is using professional cameras with a complete film crew to record the entire event. The manner and timing of how they choose to share these images on social media is also something that does not bother us, but it might bother you. It is not impolite to kindly request your guests to refrain from certain actions on YOUR special day if you do not want them to engage in those activities. Typically, a sign or a brief message from the officiant at the beginning of the ceremony works effectively.
-
Do you use additional lighting for an indoor function?Certainly! We do have external flashes and the necessary lighting equipment available. However, we only use them when they are truly necessary, in order to avoid any unnecessary cable clutter in the mandap or event area. It would be best to connect us with the event planner or decorator who is responsible for the lighting, so that we can coordinate and ensure a seamless and well-lit atmosphere.
-
Is it possible for us to provide you with a list of relatives to include in the family photographs?We handle numerous wedding events, but it's challenging to recall everyone beyond the immediate family of the couple. For this reason, we strongly advise the couple to introduce us to one of their siblings or cousins. By doing so, we can ensure that we capture the full extent of their extended family and any significant individuals who will be present at the ceremony.
-
How much time should we allocate for capturing couple portrait photographs?A sufficient duration of 30 to 45 minutes is recommended solely for capturing couple portraits. While the specific timings may differ, the allotted time intervals remain ideal. This will help ensure a seamless flow on your special day!
-
When is the ideal time to arrange these photographs? (Couple Portraits, Single Shots, etc.)If your event is planned during the day, rest assured it will be exceptional as nothing can surpass the beauty of natural light. However, if your event is scheduled for the evening, it is crucial to make the most of the golden hour and sunset for capturing stunning portraits. We must ensure that these couple shots are taken before the guests arrive.
-
Is that the end of the formal shooting after taking the couple portraits and family shots?Typically, after taking the couple portraits and family shots, our preference is to follow the natural progression of the event. Our photography style aims to capture moments in their most authentic form, with a candid and unfiltered approach.
-
How many pictures will you deliver?For an 8-hour wedding coverage, you can expect to receive a collection of around 300 to 500 professionally edited and ready to print high resolution photographs. These images will be delivered to you via an online gallery with seamless interface. Our focus is on delivering quality rather than quantity, so we carefully select the most meaningful and impactful images that beautifully narrate your unique story.
-
Do you offer physical albums as part of your services? If so, are they included in the package?Indeed, we offer albums that can be customized according to your preferences. If these albums are not included in the initial Price Estimation, they can be added to the package for an extra charge. However, we recommend finalising the album selection after your event celebrations have taken place. Click here to explore our range of albums.
-
What are your delivery timelines? When do we receive our final images and videos?At MGH, we believe in achieving perfection through our meticulous editing process. Our team of experts invests significant time and effort to ensure that each picture is flawlessly enhanced. We understand your excitement and eagerness to relive your precious event memories. We deliver all edited images from every single event within 8 working weeks. Additionally, you will receive the fully edited wedding film, within 12 working weeks. Traditional videos will be shared 8 working weeks after the wedding.
-
Can we choose the music for our Wedding Films & Videos ?Song/music selection for the wedding films/traditional videos will be completely upon the editor's perspective according to the footage and overall feel of the video. However, you can feel free to recommend any music for the videos, and we'll certainly incorporate it if it complements the overall footage and enhances the flow of the video.
