Birthday Photography

You planned it for six weeks. It lasts three hours. Somebody should be photographing it.

The approach

Birthday Photography
in Chennai

Whoever is hosting should not also be documenting. We cover birthdays candidly — the decor before anyone touches it, the arrival, the game nobody expected to go that well, the cake, the collapse.

First birthdays and cake smashes are a speciality, and we plan those around nap time rather than against it.

Questions

About birthday photography

The questions we are asked most often about this kind of work in Chennai. Anything else, just ask.

Three hours covers almost every party: an hour before guests for decor and setup, then straight through arrivals, games and cake.

Yes — milestone birthdays, surprise parties and dinners. Low-light venues are entirely normal for us and are handled without blasting the room with flash.

A short studio setup for a first birthday: clean backdrop, a cake, and a baby given full permission. It runs about an hour and we bring a change of towels.
