Things to keep in mind while planning for the big day...

Book an engagement shoot with your wedding photographer!

Practice makes perfect! Working out the kinks, getting comfortable beings yourselves and getting a feel for your photographer's sense of direction will be one of the best decisions for your big day!

Hire a day of coordinator/wedding planner!

If you want to actually enjoy your day and not worry about the little things that can add up and cause unnecessary stress, do yourself a favor and hire a day of coordinator/wedding planner. This will be your saving grace and you'll thank yourself later

Give yourself that extra buffer time!

Always plan an extra hour of buffer time in case of wardrobe malfunctions, location changes or anything that comes up on your wedding day. By doing so, you won't feel rushed and under any pressure which means more time to relax and take some dope photos with your photographer!

Go with the flow, don't kill the vibe!

No one likes a bride/groom-zilla. If things aren't going your way take a moment and really think if you need to react or let it go. Some things are out of your control so taking the time to pause, take a deep breath and refocus will do wonders and allow you to truly enjoy the day as it unfolds!

Frequently Asked Question

Where are you based + how do travel fees work?

Atlanta based but we love to travel! Any travel outside of ATL will require a custom travel quote which may consist of mileage, airfare, car rental and/or hotel accommodations for the duration of the trip. Let’s chat and figure out our options :)

Do you provide just photography or photography + cinematography?

All of the above! Since we prefer to work as a team, our photography + cinematography packages are offered at a discounted rate!

Do you have experience shooting South Asian weddings?

We primarily shoot South Asian weddings but have experience in all types and sizes of weddings.

Do you have experience with flash photography? Do you bring lighting?

We live off of flash photography and are not shy about it! We are always prepared and bring our lighting kits to all events should we need it.

How would you describe your editing style?

Some people say moody and more on the edgy side. We say it’s a sophisticated editorial vibe that is nostalgic

We will need help with posing - how hands-on are you?

We do our best to help guide and direct our couples into natural poses as well as more editorial style poses. Yes, you will know what to do with your hands after a photo session with us.

How many pictures can I anticipate?

Varies depending on a few factors including how many events and hours of coverage. You receive all edited images except for any that didn’t come out properly (eyes shut, making a crazy face not on purpose, etc) so there is no shortage of photos on our end!

How and when will we receive the files?

Final edited photos are given to the client four to six weeks after their event through a USB drive and a gift of prints in our TML Photobox. Films can vary based on when we get the song selections in from the client but typically around four to six weeks for the highlight and documentary films. We always aim to get everything back to our clients earlier than this! Films are sent to client digitally and uploaded online to share with friends and family.

Do you shoot in digital or film?

Primarily digital but depending on the day and how many photographers we have, film can be used for certain portions of the day (bridals, couple portraits, etc) for an additional fee.

How many photographers/cinematographers will be at our wedding?

Our full team consists of two photographers (a lead and second photographer/assistant) and two cinematographers (a lead and second cinematographer/assistant). For larger weddings over 500 people, we bring in additional photographers/cinematographers as needed.

What makes your work stand out from everyone else?

We prefer to focus on preserving everything from the intricate details to the raw emotions on a wedding day. We try to get a sense of what each couple is envisioning with their wedding and what they want to remember so we can tailor our approach to covering their event.

How do we move forward with booking?

We should have a chat to go over your wedding and vision to see if we are a good fit for each other. Once you receive our pricing guide and are ready to move forward, a contract is sent for your review and a 50% deposit is required to book in our calendar. The remaining balance is due one week before your wedding events begin.
