Moments On Lens Packages: Detailed Comparison

We offer three carefully designed packages that cover the most common needs of Pune couples:

What Factors Affect Wedding Photography Pricing in Pune?

1. Coverage Duration

A half-day wedding (4-6 hours) costs significantly less than full-day coverage (10-12 hours). Most Indian weddings span 8-12 hours or more when you include pre-ceremony preparations, rituals, reception, and post-ceremony celebrations. Multi-day events (haldi, mehendi, sangeet, wedding day) require separate coverage and are priced accordingly.

2. Team Size & Equipment

A solo photographer with a single camera is very different from a team of 5-8 professionals with multiple camera bodies, lenses, lights, gimbals, and DJI drones. Larger teams capture more moments simultaneously — while one photographer covers the bride's preparation, another captures the groom's baraat, and a third documents guest reactions.

3. Video & Cinematic Quality

Basic HD video adds ₹10,000-₹20,000 to photography-only packages. Cinematic 4K videography — shot with cinema-grade equipment, professional color grading, and narrative storytelling — is a significant upgrade that typically adds ₹20,000-₹40,000. Same-day edits (3-5 minute highlight reels shown at the reception) are premium add-ons valued at ₹10,000-₹15,000.

4. Drone Aerial Coverage

Professional drone photography and videography add ₹5,000-₹15,000 to your package. Drones capture stunning bird's-eye views of your venue, baraat procession, and outdoor ceremonies that ground-level cameras simply cannot match. At Moments On Lens, drone coverage is included in our Cinematic and Premium packages at no extra cost.

5. Post-Production & Deliverables

Professional color grading, retouching, and cinematic editing take 2-8 weeks depending on the volume. Premium photo albums (leather-bound, handcrafted) add ₹8,000-₹25,000 per album. Canvas prints, acrylic prints, and custom packaging are additional but worth considering for family gifts.

6. Venue & Travel

Outstation weddings add travel and accommodation costs, typically ₹5,000-₹15,000 for destinations within Maharashtra (Mumbai, Nashik, Kolhapur, Aurangabad) and ₹15,000-₹30,000+ for destination weddings in Goa, Udaipur, Jaipur, or Kerala.

How to Choose the Right Wedding Photographer in Pune

1. Review their portfolio — Look for consistency in style, not just their best 10 photos. Check full wedding albums, not highlight reels.
2. Check Google reviews — Verified reviews from real couples are more reliable than testimonials on the photographer's website.
3. Ask about the actual team — Some studios outsource to freelancers. Ask who will actually shoot your wedding.
4. Understand what's included — Get a detailed breakdown: how many photos, what editing style, video quality, delivery timeline.
5. Discuss backup plans — What happens if equipment fails? Do they carry backup camera bodies and lenses?
6. Meet in person — Chemistry matters. You'll spend 10+ hours with your photographer on your biggest day.
7. Ask about payment terms — Understand advance amounts, milestone payments, and EMI options.
