FAQs
Q. Where are you guys based? Do you travel for wedding assignments?
A. Wedclicks studio is primarily based in Trichy. But we do travel all over this nation, and even across the world to cover weddings. In fact a good percentage of the weddings we do is across destinations and out of Trichy. We love travelling, meeting new people, and forging new friendships. We do it day in and day out and love it.
Q. Do you charge an extra amount for the weddings that you do outstation?
A. No, we do not charge any additional amount for weddings done outstation. The charges are same all over. The scape of the photography industry has changed, and we believe that everyone has the equal right to access of great services, irrespective of location. But like all other photography teams across the world, the travel and accommodation is provided for by the client. This is an industry standard.
But in all outstation weddings, the photography team loses a day or two just travelling back and forth. We do not charge extra for that. So it kind of gets adjusted with the travel expenses and the accommodation expenses.
Q. What kind of Travel & Accommodation do you expect to be provided for outstation weddings?
A. We are eager to travel. We are OK with train or bus travel, when the journey involved isn’t too time consuming or tiring. We do adjust though. When it comes to accomodation, we have stayed at the clients home, as well as decent hotels. Just provide us a decent bed, with a roof over our head and a bathroom, and we are good to go!
Q. What is your style of photography?
A. Ours is primarily a Candid/Photojournalistic style of taking pictures. Wedding photography evolves everyday, and there are elements of traditional photography that need to be incorporated into a Candid style. For eg. posed pictures are considered non-candid by definition. But we do take elegant non-cliche posed pictures on weddings, which are aligned with our photojournalistic approach to photography.
Q. Do you do only Candid photography or do you provide traditional photography too?
A. We do provide traditional photography & Videography. We have good team, to shoot in a more photojournalistic way, yet do a standard coverage of the wedding. It is our goal to provide you with quality services in all that we provide.
Q. Who does the copyright of all the images taken on the wedding day belong to?
A. By general law, copyright of an image belongs to the person who takes it using his/her camera. In the case of wedding pictures that are paid for, there is shared copyright ownership of the photographs between the person clicking it & the person paying for the photographs. That being said, we never use wedding pictures that we take for any other purpose other than showcasing our work on our website & social media. And there too, we use it with copyright watermarks.
Q. Do you provide us with wedding albums, prints, videos and other wedding related services?

Q. How much in advance do we need to book you?
A. It really depends on the date you are getting married. Many times we get booked upto one year before the wedding date. Especially there are some hot dates with good muhurtham on which we have multiple enquiries that are made. If we are booked out on a date, we dont take on other clients. Hence it is always better to book us as early as possible. We do take up last minute bookings too, if we are free. So do check with us anyways.
Q. How do we book you? How do we pay the booking amount?
A. We only consider a wedding booked, when you have payed a minimum of 50% of the amount of the package in advance. If you have verbally asked us to hold a date, we will intimate you for enquiries for your date that come afterwards, before we give out the date to someone else. If you want to cancel, you need to do it with at least one month to spare to the date of the wedding. Any closer, and the amount you pay in advance becomes non-refundable.
Q. Do you have an agreement of terms and conditions when the wedding is booked?
A. Yes, we do have an agreement of terms and conditions when a wedding is booked. Signed copies of this agreement are kept with us as well as the client, when the booking is made. If you are going ahead with booking us after speaking to us, we will provide you the terms & conditions and explain the same in the meeting too. The terms & conditions both protect the client as well as the photographer, are fair & tested over time.
Q. What kind of equipment do you use?
A. We primarily shoot on the Canon, we use the best lenses and Cameras available in their line-up. We sometimes do shoot on Sony too. But beyond this, we believe that a good photographer, focuses on the camera specifications, a great photographer focuses on lighting, but the artist focuses on the eye. It is our eye that separates us from the rest of the competition. Anyone could go out and buy the top of the line Cameras. But developing an eye, takes a natural gift, sharpened with the whetstone of experience and labour.
Q. I find the rates of Candid photographers to be expensive. Do you offer discounts?
A. Nothing beautiful comes easy. If it were easy, everyone would do it. Good quality Candid/photojournalistic photography is hard. The immense amount of hard work happening behind the scenes, is usually hidden. The number of balls in the air that we juggle to pull out what we do is scary! Trust us on this. The price is fair.
