Questions
Barat Photographer in Lahore — FAQ
- Barat ke liye kitne photographers chahiye? (How many photographers does a baraat need?)
- Two. The groom's party arrives at the gate while the bride is still getting ready or waiting to be brought to the stage, and one photographer cannot be in both places. Two photographers cover the bride's and groom's sides at once — that is what our Signature package (PKR 165,000) includes. Essential (PKR 65,000) is one photographer for up to 6 hours, which suits a smaller, single-venue baraat.
- How much is barat photography in Lahore?
- Basil Studios wedding photography packages run from PKR 65,000 (Essential — per event) to PKR 385,000 (Heirloom). A baraat alone fits Essential; Signature covers two events — for example the baraat and walima — with two photographers, drone and a same-day highlight reel; Heirloom covers the full multi-day wedding with two photographers, a videographer and a hand-bound album.
- What should the photographer capture on the baraat day?
- The groom getting ready and the sehra, the baraat arriving with dhol, the welcome by the bride's family at the gate, the bride's entry, rasms such as doodh pilai and joota chupai, stage portraits with both families, and the rukhsati itself — the Quran held over the bride, the parents' farewell and the car leaving.
- How many hours of coverage does a baraat need?
- Plan from the groom's preparation to the rukhsati, and allow for the delays baraats are known for — long baraats run over. Essential gives up to 6 hours on site; Signature is full-day coverage of two events. If the arrival is outdoors at a lawn or farmhouse, Signature's drone captures it from above, subject to venue permission, and the last light before sunset is the best time for couple portraits.
- Do we get baraat photos the same day?
- On Signature and Heirloom you receive a same-day highlight reel for WhatsApp and Instagram. The full edited gallery follows — 250+ frames in 4 weeks on Essential, 500+ in 6 weeks on Signature — in a private online gallery you can share with family.
