Frequently Asked Questions

What camera gear do I need for wedding photography?
At minimum, you need 2 camera bodies (primary + backup), 3 zoom lenses (wide 16-35mm, standard 24-70mm, telephoto 70-200mm), 1 fast prime for low light, 2 speedlights with diffusers, 4+ batteries, 4+ memory cards (64GB+), and a monopod. Total investment: ₹3-8L depending on brand.
How many memory cards should I bring to a wedding shoot?
Bring at minimum 4 formatted memory cards (64GB or larger each). A typical Indian wedding generates 3,000-6,000 raw images across 2-3 days. Budget approximately 32GB per 1,000 raw images. Always carry backup cards in a separate pouch.
How many camera batteries do I need for a wedding?
Bring at least 4 fully charged batteries per camera body. Budget 1 battery per 2 hours of continuous shooting. A full Indian wedding day can last 12-16 hours. Cold weather drains batteries faster. Always carry a charger for emergency top-ups during breaks.
What's the most commonly forgotten item at photo shoots?
Memory cards and backup batteries are the most commonly forgotten items, followed by flash batteries, lens caps, and business cards. Using an interactive checklist like this one - and packing the night before - dramatically reduces the chance of forgetting critical gear.
