Role you're checking

Wedding Photographer

Creator

Wedding Photographers document India's most emotionally saturated events — families spending ₹10L-₹3Cr+ on ceremonies that last 3-5 days across mehendi, sangeet, haldi, pheras, and reception. Inside a ₹4 lakh crore big-fat-Indian-wedding industry, the best photographers (Stories by Joseph Radhik, House on the Clouds, WeddingNama, Cupcake Productions) command ₹5-50L per wedding and are booked 12-18 months in advance. The work is almost entirely self-taught or apprenticeship-based — a commerce graduate or engineering dropout who spent 2 years second-shooting for a mid-tier studio transitions faster than any formal degree holder. Day-of coverage runs 5-15 hours non-stop across chaotic mandap lighting, outdoor formals, Punjabi dhol sequences, and intimate candid moments between families — with no re-takes. Post-production (Lightroom cataloguing, Photoshop skin retouching, album design, video integration) adds another 40-80 hours of desk time per wedding. Drone DGCA certification unlocks aerial coverage that now commands a ₹30-80K premium per booking.
