How Many Photographers Does Your Wedding Need?
A simple way to match crew size to guest count and the kind of function you are having.
More crew is not automatically better. The right number depends on how big the event is and how much is happening at once.
Small function, one of each. For a nikkah at home, an engagement or a function of up to around 150 guests, one photographer and one videographer can cover everything comfortably.
Large function, add a second photographer. At a barat or walima with several hundred guests, the bride's side and the groom's side are often in different places at the same time. A second photographer covers the family and candid moments while the first runs the stage.
Separate venues or segregated halls. If men and women are seated separately, or the bride is getting ready at a different location, you need enough crew to be in both places.
Two videographers for a full film. One camera stays wide on the stage while the other moves. This is what makes entries and reactions cut together properly.
Think about the schedule. If bridal portraits, the baraat arrival and the nikkah all fall within the same hour, a single photographer will miss something.
A quick guide. Up to 150 guests and one hall: one photographer, one videographer. Bigger events or two family sides to cover: two photographers and one videographer. Large weddings where film matters as much as photos: two and two, with a drone if the venue suits it.
Our packages follow the same logic. Basic is one photographer and one videographer, Gold is two photographers and one videographer, and Platinum is two of each with a drone. Tell us your guest count and venues and we will recommend honestly, including when the smaller package is enough.
