Wedding photographers speak out: These are some of the craziest requests they’ve received

“The marriages of Delhi They are crazy. For one wedding I had a team of six photographers: I was the lead photographer and the bride’s father wouldn’t leave me alone. “Come with me and take a picture of me with whoever I want.” Simple photos, those of the guests looking directly at the camera. The people who came with me were there to do that, but he insisted. The second night I gave up: I thought “look, if that’s what he wants me to do, I’ll do it.” I explained this to the bride, I told her that I could take other better photos, but He just said “go ahead, I’ll let you know if I need you to come”“. –Poonam Kotecha, You by Poonam Kotecha.

“At a wedding I was working on, the bride blinked a lot. I took many pictures and many were good, but most of them I took with my eyes closed. He asked me to open his eyes in post-production, but that couldn’t be done“. –Lakshya Chawla, Shutterdown Photography.

EXCESSIVE REQUESTS

“One of the most recent was that I took some out underwater photos. It was very difficult to position the skirt so that it would float as I wanted, but luckily I have diving experience. In another case I took out a pre-wedding session in the corridor of the Delhi airport…in very low temperatures and strong winds. The planes were landing 50 meters away from us! Another pretty crazy session was in the middle of his tracks Chandni Chowk (in old Delhi) with motorbikes, the rickshaw and cars to avoid the pair. People looked like they couldn’t believe it.“. –Ramit Batra, Ramit Batra Photography and Movies.

““We want our wedding to go viral!” It’s one of the most common requests from customers, who also ask us to make them skinnier, use Instagram filters, and other weird stuff. But the weirdest thing was what a customer wanted to do the pre-wedding shoot at an altitude of almost 5,000 meters and at a temperature of 2º in a place that could only be reached by hiking while carrying 30 kg of luggage“. –Shrey Bhagat, wedding photographer and videographer.
