Frequently Asked Questions
Answers about our wedding photography and films, the traditions we know, and what it's like to work together.
Cultural Expertise & Ceremonies
We specialize in Hindu, Sikh, Punjabi, Telugu, Muslim and Jain weddings, and in fusion celebrations that bring Indian and Christian traditions together. If your tradition isn't listed, tell us about it on a free call and we'll be honest about whether we're the right fit. Hitesh brings lived cultural experience to every ceremony — understanding the meaning behind rituals like Pheras, Saptapadi, Baraat, and Vidaai. For fusion and interfaith weddings, we bring the same cultural respect and precision to every tradition represented.

The RHIPO Experience
Hitesh leads every wedding personally. For Photo + Film collections, he coordinates a culturally fluent team of photographers and cinematographers. During planning, you’ll meet your full team and walk through your timeline together.

Booking & Investment
For most South Asian weddings, we recommend full-day coverage of up to 10 hours. Multi-day celebrations often include Mehndi, Sangeet, Wedding Day, and Reception coverage — we’ll help determine the right structure during your consultation.
Pricing depends on your celebration’s scope, number of events, and services selected. We provide customized proposals and flexible payment plans, including a retainer and installment options leading up to your wedding.
We recommend booking 9–12 months in advance, especially for peak wedding season and multi-day events. However, we occasionally accommodate shorter timelines depending on availability.
