Documentary Coverage

We Capture the Whole Occasion

We arrive early, blend into the celebration, and document everything — from the first guests arriving to the final group portrait.

The Space

Your new home, decorated and at its best — before the guests arrive and the canapes disappear. Interior details that tell the story of the occasion.

Arrival & Mingling

The greetings at the door, the first drinks, the catching-up — candid moments that capture the atmosphere of the room.

Food & Details

The spread, the effort, the table styling — everything you prepared gets documented before it's eaten.

Group Portraits

Relaxed group portraits with family and close friends — the kind you'll frame and hang in the new home.

Before the day

Helping the day run smoothly

A little planning helps us cover what matters most. These are the things worth thinking about, and worth telling us when you book.

The timeline. The rough order of the day, from the puja or ceremony through to the meal and celebration.
Key rituals. Any moments that must not be missed, such as the Ganesh puja, boiling of milk, or first entry across the threshold.
Family groups. A short list of the group photographs you would like, so we can move through them quickly.
Venue access. When we can arrive to photograph the home and details before guests come in.
Lighting. Whether the ceremony is indoors or outdoors, so we can plan for the light.
Early start. Many poojas begin very early. Ceremonies before around 7am carry a small early-start surcharge, confirmed upfront.
Video. Whether you would like a highlight reel or cinematic film, as this brings a videographer alongside the photographer.
Travel. Where the home is, so we can confirm any travel outside Dublin in advance.

Indian Housewarming Traditions

We have real experience photographing Grihapravesham (the Indian housewarming puja), from the Ganesh puja and the boiling of milk through to the first entry across the threshold. We understand how these rituals flow and which moments must not be missed, so you never have to direct us on the day.

Every housewarming is different, and not everyone follows the same customs. Whatever form your celebration takes, we adapt our coverage to the flow of your day without getting in the way of it.

  • Location Dublin and surrounding areas. Travel outside Dublin charged separately.
  • Delivery Private online gallery within 2–3 weeks
  • Note Early morning poojas may incur an additional charge
Questions

Common Questions

We typically arrive 20–30 minutes before guests to photograph the space and any food/décor details while everything is at its best. This also gives us time to understand the layout and plan our movements before the room fills up.

Documentary coverage is our default mode — we blend in, observe, and capture. We use natural light where possible and small equipment so we don't dominate the room. Most guests don't notice us after the first few minutes.

Absolutely — this is exactly the kind of multi-part event we're set up for. We'll plan arrival and coverage timing around the ceremony schedule you provide. Just share the rough order of events when you book and we'll build a coverage plan around it.

Our Gold package covers up to 5 hours — the most comprehensive option for full-day celebrations. If you need coverage beyond your package duration, please enquire when booking and we'll confirm the rate upfront.
