2. Ceremony

 

  • Please identify 3 to 5 people who will perform the nalungge for you and advise them not to show their backs to the audience; they should stand at the side while doing it. 
  • Meet with your priest in advance to familiarize yourself with the entire wedding process. 
  • Also, please check with him about the amount (Dachanai) to prepare for the ceremony, and prepare Ang Pow for each person, assigning someone to keep it in advance.


SMILE MORE!! :) 


Your wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime special event for both of you, and smiling often will help us capture your happy moments. 


TIPS: 

  • Engage more with the best man or bridesmaids during the ceremony.
  • Take things slowly so that the photographers don’t miss any key moments.

 

3. Thali moments

 

The thali-tying moment is one of the most important parts of the ceremony, and we want to ensure the best moments are captured perfectly. However, challenges may arise, especially with a large crowd. Here are some best practices based on our experiences:

  • The groom and bride are recommended to assign 1-2 key people to help coordinate the crowd. 
  • The groom should ensure that the priest sits down after passing the thali before tying it. 
  • We understand the parents will be excited to bless the couple, but they might block the groom's face during the thali-tying moment. To avoid this, the groom can kindly inform them in advance not to step forward. 
  • If an aunt will help the bride hold the thali, she should also ensure that she isn’t blocking anyone’s view. 
  • Lastly, for both the groom and bride: remember to HAVE FUN and give us your best moments too! :)

 

4.Group Photos

 

  • Prepare "Moi Boxes" to prevent your loved ones from standing beside you in all group photos. 
  • It's recommended to assign 1-2 key people to help ensure everything runs smoothly during the group photo session. 
  • Guests should queue up from the right side of the couple, take a quick group photo, and exit from the left. 
  • Key individuals will help the team arrange and inform family members for both immediate and extended family photos. 
  • We will take 3 quick photos for each group and will count before capturing each one. We aren’t responsible if anyone has their eyes closed. 
  • Please ensure you call your immediate family for family photos. We will take a few extra minutes for these. 
  • To ensure the group photo session goes smoothly, our team will not take any phones from guests and will recommend that they take "wefie" photos instead.

 

5.Couple Portraits

 

  • It is recommended to schedule the couple portrait session 30 minutes before the wedding session ends.
  • Couples can share the types of photos they would like, and we will do our best to capture them.
  • Please communicate with your family members in advance about the couple portrait session to ensure that no one disturbs it while it's ongoing.
