I REGRET HIRING THIS PHOTOGRAPHER. HE IS UNPROFRESSIONAL, MONEY HUNGRY, UNRELIABLE AND HAS A REALLY BAD ATTITUDE. I hired these guys for my wedding with their platinum package, Rs180,000. The quality of work was not even worth Rs80,000. I feel looted and scammed. I wish I knew how this guy is, I would have hired someone else even if they charged twice as much but sadly the moment has passed. Akshit is very unprofessional when it comes to photography as well as dealing with payments. I had asked him to courier to Chennai which he did but he wanted 100% payment even though I hadn’t received the courier. He promised me on the phone that he had sent albums and USB containing videos and that I have to pay the remaining 25% payment. He was threatening to cancel the courier and asking me to pick it up from his office in Dehradun if I didn’t pay. He was taking advantage of my situation because I had international flight in the next 3 days. See the whatsapp chats here: https://youtu.be/Uep84FYLdZ8 When I received the courier, there were only photo albums. He lied about sending videos (USB) in the courier parcel and did not even have the courtesy to say ‘sorry’ but rather kept on saying he had put the videos in courier bag, and he doesn’t know what happened. No response for 2 days once I had paid him. The quality of the albums is so poor, and it looks very cheap, almost like a school register book. The album looks like it cost Rs2000 to print and bind. It is embarrassing to show it to friends and relatives. One simple thing like a date of marriage is not added on the cover page. The quality of photo print is also bad in a lot of photos. Akshit says ‘hum sabko ese hi dete hain’ but how does this justify the low quality work he has done? I realized why he was bugging me about sending money because the quality of his album was so terrible that he thought I wouldn’t pay him if I saw his work. We lost trust in his production when I received the insta reel. I had to ask for some very basic common-sense changes - firstly the aspect ratio throughout the video was changing. Secondly, no care if there is a person walking in front of camera during Jaimala, they didn’t even bother editing that part out. A photographer is responsible for making sure there are no people in the photo background and making sure people are standing correctly on stage, you have to guide people so there is symmetry in photo. They simply didn’t care about any of this. I was really disappointed when I saw the photos and videos. The stage decorator were on stage during Jaimala, photobombing throughout Jaimala. There were really big advertising boards (dhol and band banners) right next to me during baarat. I can send you examples of his work, email me at sourabhmaven@gmail.com. In our package there was full production on 100 photos included and what we received was 99 photos with just filter applied which I can also add. I had also asked him to take my portrait with the vintage car, but he completely ignored that and took no responsibility. During the wedding I already have lot of things going on, I am not responsible for telling the photographers to do their job properly. I must say not everyone with a camera is a photographer, it requires passion and attention to detail and this guy is lacking it. Your wedding is one event in life that is most precious so be careful when you choose your photographer. Don’t judge him by his Instagram posts, you don’t get the same quality of work. All the best if you do hire this guy.
