Wedding photography planning in COVID-19

The Scenario

A wedding is a celebration of a lifetime. Not all weddings are the same but the zeal for the celebration is no less in all weddings. We plan our wedding in numerous ways. From the famous big-fat Indian wedding to a simply beautiful one, every wedding is special and we plan for possibly the best way to celebrate it. Be it the wedding venue, wedding photography, makeup artists, buying dresses, or catering services. We have come up with new ideas to celebrate the wedding e.g. from Eco-friendly green weddings to destination weddings. But recently our all concerns are drawn to one thing and that is the pandemic COVID-19. Almost every service in the event sector is going through immense challenges and we are forced to think differently, be it a client or the service provider. In a word, we all are revamping…

The Concern

As all say, “While there is life, there is hope” for many things. The current situation is the best example of that. Our biggest concern is to stay safe….and, keep life moving and happening. So, as the global primary measure, social distancing is a must to stay safe and wearing a mask.

The Plan

So, now the question is how to plan your wedding and to be specific how to plan your wedding photography in this situation of COVID-19?

The plan is very simple and can be executed in two ways, organizing your event with a lesser number of people or in a larger venue. Obviously, the guidelines from the govt. has to keep into account.

Plan 1

If you are organizing your event with a lesser number of people, it is probably you are missing your guests. Now the question is if you are organizing with lesser guests then what will be your preference for wedding photography? or How much you should spend on it? The answer is very simple, how much important is your wedding photography to you. You can read our blog on this here.

If you just want to document it then probably you would opt for a budget plan but if your wedding photography really matters to you then we have a few things to tell you..

For us, I mean photographers, the number of guests is not a primary concern because we photograph you in candids, our primary concern is to capture beautiful moments that will tell the story of your big day for years to come. When you have lesser numbers of guests, it becomes easier for us to get more spectacular candid photos for you. Time and space are very important in event and wedding photography and when there is less crowd we get both and the result is you get stunning photos. Obviously, we will drop a member or two from our team as the number of guests is less and that will save you some extra bucks at the same time.

A larger venue with fewer number of guests

Plan 2

Now if you are organizing your event in a larger venue due to COVID-19 guidelines, we are also getting better space to photograph you and your guest. In that case, we will have a better opportunity to capture the best candid shots for you.

So, in terms of photography, you are a win-win situation and we can assure you that you will get more than what you have expected.

Execution

Now, let's talk about the execution. At Aniruddha Pandey Photography, we always speak for the quality and now we are also concerned about your health and our safety at the same time. Our team maintains all the necessary measures be it sanitizing our equipment, wearing masks, and maintaining social distancing. Our team reaches the venue well before the event starts as always and then we look into the available space, take an account of your family members and guests. We always want that you enjoy your wedding without worrying about how to get clicked.

So we are at the end can tell you COVID-19 or anything similar that has changed the situation a lot but still, we have many things in hand and should not be worried about it. We believe wedding photography is an asset and one should carefully plan for it. You can also customize your wedding photography according to your need and we have plenty of options to choose from. And last but not the least, we always believe in a client-centric approach. We are offering our services at the same price as it was before COVID-19 and we have also redesigned our booking policies to give you ease. Feel free to book a session with us and let's plan it together.
