By Laxya Dagdi, pre wedding photographer in Jaipur since 2014 · Updated October 2026 Most heritage monuments in Jaipur need a paid shoot permit for a pre wedding shoot, while public spots like Patrika Gate and the Jal Mahal promenade are free. Drones need separate DGCA Digital Sky clearance and a licensed pilot, and some zones near the airport and protected sites do not allow drones at all. Couples often ask why the photographer's quote doesn't include "everything." The answer is permits. Below is the permit and drone checklist we follow on every shoot so nobody gets stopped at the gate. Which Jaipur locations need a permit?

Planning your wedding in the capital? Wedding photography in Delhi NCR is very different from shooting a wedding anywhere else. The season is short, venues are spread across the city, guest lists are huge and many functions happen after dark. This 2026 guide explains what to plan for, so you can choose the right team and get photos that truly feel like your day. Wedding photography in Delhi NCR by Candid Life Photography Why Delhi NCR Weddings Need a Different Plan 1. A Short, Cold Season Most Delhi weddings fall between November and February.

Choosing outfits is the part of a pre-wedding shoot most couples leave too late. In Jaipur it matters even more, because every location has its own colour palette - pink sandstone, ochre fort walls, blue lake water, painted arches. The right outfit makes the frame; the wrong one disappears into the wall behind you. Here is a simple location-by-location outfit guide we use when planning shoots in the Pink City. 1. Amer Fort - jewel tones and heavy lehengas Amer's walls are warm yellow and ochre, so deep jewel tones stand out best: emerald, royal blue, wine and deep maroon. A heavy lehenga with a long dupatta works beautifully on the staircases and in the courtyards. For the groom, a bandhgala or sherwani in ivory or navy keeps the royal mood. Avoid mustard and beige - they blend into the stone. 2. Nahargarh Fort - flowing outfits for sunset Nahargarh is all about wind, height and golden light. Choose a flowing gown or a light chiffon saree that moves well, in pastel pink, lilac ...
