- We are based in Karachi,Lahore (Paksitan) and Newyork (USA), and we travel all across the world to shoot weddings. Some of our best weddings have been shot in locations like Istanbul, Dubai, USA ,UK among others.
Can you Travel for our Wedding?
- Yes, We travel Locally & Abroad to capture your special moments.
Is MAK into wedding planning or just coverage?
- Currently we are only into coverage (photos and videos) but having worked with some of the top wedding management teams, we are happy to suggest some names at no extra costs. An inspired management and decor team naturally act as embellishments for a beautiful film! In fact, you can check the Planners section on our website to check out the work of some event planners & wedding décor companies who are splendid at their jobs.
How early should I reach out to book your services for my wedding?
- We recommend contacting us 4-5 months before your wedding dates but for the wedding season like Dec & Jan you must contact us at least 6-7 months before your event date to avoid any inconvenience.
What’s the best way to contact Mak Studio Weddings for availability?
- You can either fill out the booking form on our website or DM us on Instagram. MAK is also accessible on WhatsApp for bookings and inquiries, with our team committed to getting back to you within a week.
Can I personalise the wedding packages to fit my specific needs?
- Absolutely! Our packages are customisable based on your requirements and the scale of your event.
What are the number of photographs that will be provided in the package? Also the total number of edited photographs and the format in which they would be provided?
- It’s difficult to determine the total number of images we will be shooting over a typical two or three day wedding. Approximately 3000-4500 images are expected to be shot during a typical three-day wedding. All images are given to the client in high resolution JPEG format on a 1 / 2 TB Thunderbolt drive (digital delivery) and all the images are colour and exposure edited. The images are shot both in candid and traditional style.
Is it possible just to get a pre-wedding shoot without opting for the complete wedding package?
- We believe in start-to-end wedding coverage and hence refrain from undertaking stand-alone pre-wedding shoots. We shoot pre-weddings for clients whose weddings we have been commissioned to film. This serves as a great start to the final highlight film, and also strengthens the team’s bond with our clients before their wedding day.
Do you provide services for destination weddings?
- Yes, we do offer destination wedding services. We not only offer destination wedding services but have also specialised in creating magic at numerous destination weddings. We are well-equipped and ready to capture your special day, no matter where it may be.
How long does it take to receive the raw photos after the wedding?
- Raw photos are typically delivered within one week after the event.
Are there any specific requirements in terms of venue/stage lighting and other aspects of the setup for the best photo and video results? How can we ensure that the photography team has the best resources at hand to create magic?
- Good lighting is a pre-requisite for great photos and videos. If a few simple things are taken care of at the planning stage, the job is half done. Go for natural lighting instead of tinted hues and ensure that the stage, mandap etc. are well lit especially in the night. The spatial design should be such that it allows the crew to cover the event from multiple angles for a good variety in footage – always advise your planner to keep in mind the space needed by photographers in case of over-crowded events. It’s a good idea to have some extra time at hand before each event for couple shots – it doesn’t take more than 10-15 minutes, but ensures that the couple has some stunning portraits before the hair, makeup and outfits make their way to the dance floor – to never come back the way they were!
When can I expect to receive the wedding albums after making my selection?
- Albums are delivered within 15 days after you’ve made your selections.
What format do you deliver the wedding data in, and how do I receive it?
- We deliver all data in USBs. You can also receive the data on your personal hard drive or Google Drive link.
Can you accommodate multiple-day events in your packages?
- Yes, our packages are flexible and can be adapted to cover multiple-day events.
What is a pre-wedding shoot and how do we go about it?
- A pre-wedding shoot is a photo/video shoot of the couple done before the wedding that portrays the bond they share with each other. Since the wedding is a hectic time to be together, the couple get this day off with each other to shoot some “Relaxed, Together & Fun” images and videos and these can be used in the highlight film or as a separate two-minute pre-wedding film that can be shown during the sangeet or the wedding. A typical pre-wedding shoot lasts between 4-8 hours. The clothes / styling / makeup for this shoot is usually arranged by the client.
What if our deliveries are delayed by MAK?
- It is rare that the delivery of the film is delayed beyond 100 days. But it is possible that the director of film is unhappy with some portions of the film and requests for a revision / re-edit – in which case a delay might happen. All we can say is that it is for the benefit of the film and the client. Most great cinema blockbusters have been delayed but have usually turned out better due to the re-edit. So it’s all in good spirit. We apologize for the inconvenience (should a delay happen) but assure you that we will not release anything that we don’t absolutely adore. So please be patient and give us time to work our magic.
