Frequently asked questions about wedding photography in Mumbai
How much does a pre-wedding shoot cost in Mumbai?
Pre-wedding shoots in Mumbai range ₹45,000 to ₹1,75,000. Theevexa's median 2025 Mumbai pre-wedding booking was ₹75,000 for a 6-hour two-location session (Bandra Bandstand sunrise + Aarey Colony mid-morning) with 100+ edited frames delivered in 10 days.
What are the best pre-wedding locations in Mumbai?
Bandra Bandstand for sea + Sea Link backdrops, Marine Drive at blue hour for the Queen's Necklace, Asiatic Society Steps for neoclassical grandeur, Aarey Colony for forest greens, and Kashid Beach (Alibaug) for wide-open beach frames. Elephanta Caves works for dramatic heritage but requires ASI clearance.
Do we need permits for pre-wedding shoots in Mumbai?
No permit needed at Bandra Bandstand, Marine Drive, Worli Sea Face, or Aarey Colony (weekdays). Asiatic Steps requires ₹5,000 BMC clearance. Elephanta Caves needs an ASI commercial permit at ₹10,000. Theevexa applies for all required permits 7–10 days ahead.
Can we do an Alibaug pre-wedding weekend?
Yes. Theevexa runs Alibaug pre-wedding weekends with a Friday-evening ferry, Saturday sunrise + sunset shoots at Kashid or Nagaon beach, and a Sunday return. Standard package is ₹1,25,000 including crew ferry costs and a 150-frame edited delivery in 12 days.
How early should we book a pre-wedding shoot in Mumbai?
4–6 weeks before the wedding for save-the-date use. During Nov–Feb peak season book 8+ weeks ahead — Saturday morning slots at Bandra Bandstand book out first.
What time should we start a Bandra Bandstand shoot?
5:45 AM. Sunrise is around 6:30 AM in winter; starting at 5:45 gives 45 minutes of pre-crowd blue-hour and sunrise frames before joggers, dog-walkers and traffic take over the promenade. Theevexa's Bandstand shoots always begin at 5:45 sharp.
