Question 1

Okay, so I'm loving Shades' work! How exactly do I go about booking them through StarClinch? Is it complicated?

Accepted Answer

Not complicated at all, promise! Think of it as sending a quick message to say, 'Hey, I'm interested!' See that GET IN TOUCH enquiry form? Click that, fill out the little form with details about your event – what you need Shades to capture, the date, location, the whole shebang. Once you submit it, the magic of StarClinch happens! Your inquiry goes straight to Shades, and you get a super handy dashboard where you can chat directly with them, iron out the specifics, get custom quotes, and confirm their availability. It keeps everything organized, so no more sifting through endless email chains! Plus, it's all secure, which is always a win.

Question 2

Why should I book Shades through StarClinch instead of just…you know…finding them myself?

Accepted Answer

Great question! Think of StarClinch as your personal event concierge, but for entertainment booking! We’ve handled over 20,000 bookings (and counting!), so we know our stuff. Shades' profile is fully verified, so you know you're dealing with the real deal, and not some fly-by-night operation. Plus, booking through StarClinch gives you secure payment options. So, no awkward Venmo requests. But honestly? The best part is the communication hub. You get to manage the whole booking process, from initial inquiry to final confirmation, all in one place. We've got your back if anything goes sideways, too. Peace of mind is priceless, right?

Question 3

Shades says they specialize in capturing emotions… that sounds a bit fluffy. What does that *actually* mean for my wedding photos?

Accepted Answer

Fluffy, maybe… impactful? Absolutely. Ashwin and Jhalak (the duo behind Shades) are really good at spotting those genuine, unscripted moments. You know, the tear in your dad’s eye as he walks you down the aisle, the goofy grin your partner flashes when they think no one's looking, the pure joy on your niece’s face as she dances her heart out. They don’t just take pretty pictures; they tell a story. Think candid shots filled with laughter, love, and maybe a little bit of happy awkwardness. It's about capturing the *feeling* of the day, so when you look back at your photos years from now, you're instantly transported back to that exact moment. It’s less posed portraits and more… a visual love letter.

Question 4

What makes Shades different from all the other wedding photographers in Mumbai? There are *so* many!

Accepted Answer

You're right, Mumbai is bursting with talent! But Shades has a few things that set them apart. First off, it's the husband-and-wife dynamic. Ashwin and Jhalak work together seamlessly, bringing both masculine and feminine perspectives to the shoot. They have a shared artistic vision and a genuine passion for what they do. They've also been at this since 2012, which speaks volumes! And they *really* emphasize connection with their clients. They want to get to know you as a couple, understand your story, and make sure your personalities shine through in the photos. It’s that personal touch, combined with their artistic eye, that makes their work so special and memorable.

Question 5

I'm planning a corporate event, not a wedding. Can Shades handle that kind of thing, or are they just wedding photographers?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! While they're well-known for their wedding and pre-wedding photography, Shades offers a wide range of services, including corporate films and event coverage. Think of it this way: they're experts at capturing moments and telling stories, no matter the occasion. Whether it's a conference, a product launch, or a company party, they can document the event in a creative and engaging way. They will capture the key speakers, the audience reactions, and the overall atmosphere, delivering photos and videos that you can use for marketing, social media, and internal communications.

Question 6

I'm a bit camera shy... are Shades good at making people feel comfortable in front of the lens?

Accepted Answer

Definitely! It's actually one of the things they're known for. Ashwin and Jhalak have a knack for creating a relaxed and fun atmosphere, so you can forget you're even being photographed. They understand that not everyone loves being in the spotlight, and they're skilled at guiding you into natural poses and capturing genuine smiles. Their emphasis on connection really helps break the ice! They want to get to know you and make you feel like you're hanging out with friends, rather than posing for stiff portraits.

Question 7

How far in advance should I book Shades for my wedding? I'm getting married next year, but I want to make sure I get them!

Accepted Answer

That’s smart thinking! Given their popularity and the fact that they're a small, dedicated team, it's best to book Shades as early as possible. Ideally, 6-12 months in advance is a good rule of thumb, especially if you're getting married during peak wedding season (November-February in India). Don’t wait until the last minute and risk disappointment! Head over to StarClinch, submit an inquiry through the 'Get in Touch' button, and start the conversation. The sooner, the better to secure your dates and discuss your vision for your wedding photos.

Question 8

Shades seems to do a lot of 'candid' photography. What does that really mean? Will I still get those classic family portraits?

Accepted Answer

Great question! Candid photography, in Shades' style, focuses on capturing genuine moments and emotions as they naturally unfold. It’s about those unscripted interactions and fleeting expressions that tell the story of your day. However, that doesn't mean you'll miss out on the traditional family portraits! Shades understands the importance of those formal shots, and they'll definitely work with you to create a balanced collection of both candid and posed images. So you'll get the best of both worlds – beautiful, natural moments alongside the classic portraits that you and your family will cherish for years to come.
