Weddings and Events !!! Even During Corona Days???

Have we ever imagined that people will think so much whether to celebrate their memorable events? Have we ever imagined that a day would come when Purohits / Priests would wear masks which chanting mantras? Have we ever imagined Groom and Bride wearing masks during their memorable wedding? That’s what a minuscule, 125 nano metre Corona Virus has done to this beautiful world. There is not even a single business which has been hit because of this virus. Wedding Industry is one of those industries which is one of the hardest hit ones even though not many recognize it. We believe in making YOUR EVENTS, YOUR MEMORABLE MOMENTS. But the depth at which this has hit is inexplicable. Wedding planners, Wedding decorators, Florists, Caterers, Artists, Photographers, Videographers, Lights, Sound, Conventions halls etc are all wondering what they should do next.  It has definitely hit hard. Problem is no one recognizes the scale at which this has affected the wedding industry and amount of people who have become unemployed because of this scenario. Even though we Photographers and Videographers are sailing in the same boat, we at-least are seeing some shores amidst the storm. We belong to the essentials of any weddings along with Caterers and makeup artists. Without us, it’s hard to imagine any Weddings or be it any events from happening

At the same time, Corona Virus has made us all business owners of all sectors think and innovate ourselves. It’s the same case with us Photographers as well. Along with being careful during these events and taking care of ourselves, we have to be at our creative best. Even though events are happening during this difficult times, for that family it will happen only once. Clients will still be expecting stunning Candid Photographs and Videographs during these events. We have to be on our toes and be at our best every moment not to miss any moment which might become a memorable for that family. Who knows, a photo which we have made might bring smile or even tears when the client sees it after the event. For us each and every individual who attends the meeting should be important and each and every expression, emotion and moment have to be captured. Creating our Clients memories with their beautiful expressions and emotions should be our goal after all.

Fear of Corona made us photographers and Videographers to follow some basic steps in order to take care of ourselves.

1. Do not get scared to be in the event
2. Respect what family requests during the shoot
3. Wear masks all the time
4. Keep small sanitisers bottles in pockets all the time.
5. No unnecessary talking or chatting
6. Maintain social distancing with everyone
7. Instruct Or show clients how to pose by not going too close
8. Instruct people if possible to maintain social distancing
9. Be as creative as possible
10. Make everyone feel comfortable while shooting
11. Create memories which brings smile on your clients face even in these challenging times

It’s hard to get used to the current situation but adapting to situations is the need of the hour. Weddings which are happening are all low scale weddings and as the number of people are less, we can mainly concentrate on the Couple and Family shoots. More the couple and family photos, more happy the clients would be. Social distancing is a tough ask with Indians and this will be a challenge going forward as well until a vaccine is available for this pandemic. All in all, it’s all challenges for the Events and Wedding Industry for next one year and those who somehow manage to survive this tough times and weather the storm, will definitely flourish next year. After all, Hope is better than fear and it’s important we don’t get bogged down with this Fear. Instead let’s focus more on our business, build our network and concentrate on different verticals which we had not explored till now. Let’s have Hope, let’s Plan for future and lets Action on the plan we do. Just remember, when times are tough, just the tougher gets going.   

ALL WE SAY IS SMILE PLEASE AND REST ALL ARE JUST YOUR MEMORIES
