What couples say

Two shooters were at the house before we were awake, and half our favourite photographs are from a morning we had not even thought to book properly. Nobody told us the haldi would be the part we looked at most.

They handled three days without a single reminder from us. Turned up before call time every morning, knew the venue better than our own coordinator did, and never once had to be found.

The reception film made my father cry, and he has never cried at a wedding, including his own. The audio on the speeches is what did it.

We compared five studios in NCR. Shotnama were not the cheapest, but they were the only ones who showed us a complete wedding instead of a highlight reel. That decided it.

My haldi and my husband's chooda were in two different houses at the same time. They covered both properly. That is the whole reason we booked them and it turned out to be the right call.

The lighting at our reception was a nightmare, coloured stage wash and a low ceiling. The photos came back looking like a film set. I still do not understand how.

Six hundred edited images and not one that felt posed. Our families still argue over which ones go in the album.

They asked about our rituals before the wedding instead of during it. Small thing, but nobody else did that and it showed in the photographs.

Our pre-wedding was in Rishikesh and they drove up the day before to look at the light. We did not ask them to.

Delivery was exactly when they said it would be, which after reading other people's experiences I had not assumed.

The drone footage of the baraat is the clip everyone in the family has forwarded to everyone else.

We had a small wedding, sixty people, and they did not treat it as a small job.
