About Elegant Receptions
Reception photography is notoriously difficult due to changing venue lights and movement. We handle this by using a dedicated cinematography team with specialized video lights, ensuring your formal portraits look as polished as your candid dance floor shots. We actively guide you through a few relaxed, romantic poses before the party gets loud, so you get those timeless, high-quality images without missing a moment of your celebration.
At Cherished Films & Photography, we see the reception as the perfect blend of elegance and celebration. After the sacred rituals of the lagn, this is your time to breathe, let your hair down, and enjoy the company of your guests. Our approach balances two distinct styles to ensure your album feels complete.
Our Approach to Receptions
- Formal Portraits: We set aside time for high-end couple portraits, capturing your reception look and styling. We use off-camera flash and prime lenses to isolate you against the venue decor, creating moody, clean images that stand out from the rest of the event.
- Candid Energy: Once the formal part is over, we blend into the crowd. We focus on the laughter, the dance floor madness, and those blink-and-miss interactions between family members. This is where we capture the 'real' in your wedding story.
Whether you are planning a grand ballroom entrance in Mumbai or an intimate evening gathering in Pune, we document it all. Our team uses Sony A7 IV and Canon R series gear to ensure low-light performance is sharp, avoiding the grainy, blurry look that often ruins reception photos. If you have specific ideas—like a choreographed dance, a flower shower, or a sparkler exit—let us know. We plan the lighting and angles in advance, so you don't have to worry about the technicalities on the night.
We provide 12-hour coverage packages, which ensures we are there from the moment you get ready for your reception look until the last guest leaves the dance floor.
