Planning Tips
Book your Pune pre-wedding photographer at least 6–8 weeks ahead — muhurat clustering around Tulsi Vivah and Vasant Panchami blocks Nov–Feb dates 10+ weeks out.
Plan a Sinhagad Fort sunrise shoot (leave Pune by 4:30 AM) for the iconic fort-ramparts-above-valley frame — golden light lasts about 40 minutes.
Apply for ASI permits at Shaniwar Wada and Aga Khan Palace 10 days in advance — Theevexa handles the paperwork end-to-end at no extra cost.
Mix 2–3 outfit looks — one ethnic for Shaniwar Wada or Aga Khan Palace heritage frames, one Indo-western for Sinhagad or Lonavala cinematic shots, one casual for Mulshi or Pawna Lake candids.
Avoid post-monsoon weekends at Lonavala viewpoints (Tiger Point, Lion's Point) — weekday early-morning slots give you cleaner backgrounds and cooperative light before the tourist rush.
Always ask for a signed contract with deliverables, edit timelines, raw-file policy and outstation cost to Lonavala/Mulshi/Mahabaleshwar — never pay the full amount upfront.

Book your Pune pre-wedding photographer at least 6–8 weeks before the shoot date, and 10+ weeks ahead for the Nov–Feb peak season.

Theevexa also accommodates fast-track 7–15 day shoots when the wedding date is tight.

We carry portable lights, drone, gimbal and back-up battery kits — and typically pair the shoot with Aga Khan Palace mid-morning (9–11 AM) on the way back, or breakfast at a Koregaon Park café between locations.
