Weddings & events — led by Ashok — Berlin and beyond

Two media, one direction.

This is the half of our work we do differently. Ashok leads a crew sized to your day, so the photographs and the film are made at the same time by people working to one brief — not two vendors who have never met.

One day. One brief.

Most couples hire a photographer, and then separately a film crew who have never met them. Four strangers, two invoices, two sets of instructions — and footage that never quite matches the photographs.

Ten years across cinematography, weddings, events and aerial work sit behind this. On your day we bring a crew sized to what it actually needs, everyone briefed to the same look, and cover the ceremony in photographs and film at the same moment rather than one at the expense of the other. Ashok grades and cuts the result himself, so the film and the photographs leave as one body of work.

Berlin weddings come in every form, and we have covered a good many of them — church ceremonies and civil ones, seemantham and mehandi, naming days, house warmings. Knowing the running order is half the job, so we learn yours in advance. Nobody should have to tell us when the important thing is about to happen, or which elder needs to be in that frame.

Only one of us shoots events. The other's work is the newborn studio — days five to fourteen, where two of us in the room is the whole point. On location, it is Ashok and the crew.

What you get
01

The photographs

A full gallery, graded as one body of work, delivered privately. Yours to print, keep and hand on.

02

The film

A short film of the day, cut from footage shot alongside the photographs — same light, same grade, edited by the person who directed it.

03

Aerial, where it's allowed

Where the venue and the law permit it, the day gets an establishing shot nobody standing on the ground can take.

We'll tell you if it's ours.

We take a small number of weddings a year so Ashok is on every one of them. No travel fee inside Berlin and Brandenburg.
