What is Documentary Storytelling?
Documentary storytelling is a non-intrusive approach to wedding celebrations. We primarily focus on capturing your candid moments in their authentic form and present you with thoughtfully curated photographs and personalised films which you can cherish lifelong.
01. WHY ALAIGAL?
Alaigal loves to document celebrations. Huge or intimate, we are on board! Our friendly approach makes you feel less conscious about the cameras pointed at you and lets you enjoy the moment.
02. MEET & GREET
Once the dates are confirmed we make it a practice to meet the couple and their families ahead of the celebration day. We introduce the team and their roles, since it is a documentary approach, the meet and greet acts as an ice breaker, especially for the couple’s parents.
03. WEDDING VENDORS
Since we have been in the wedding industry for more than 5 years now, we have a curated list of other wedding vendors like makeup artists, planners, decorators, caterers etc. If you are looking for one, do hit us up.
01. DOCUMENTARY PHOTOS
Our photographs are a true reflection of your celebration, capturing every moment from the very beginning. We start before the festivities even begin—whether it’s the bride’s early morning makeup or a quiet, intimate mehendi ceremony at your home. We focus on candid moments, preserving them in their most authentic form, and present you with a collection of photographs that beautifully tell your unique story.
02. DOCUMENTARY FILMS
At our core, we believe in capturing the true essence of your celebration. Instead of relying on typical songs or pre-set patterns, we immerse ourselves in the real moments of your day, recording live audio throughout the event and allowing couples to share their personal stories. Each film we produce is authentic and timeless, reflecting the genuine emotions and unique journey of the couple. We don’t stick to a formula—we experiment with different styles of filmmaking tailored to each couple, ensuring that the final film is a personalized, wholesome experience you can cherish for a lifetime.
FAQ
Will you provide the raw photos?
We will provide you with all traditional and candid unedited photos in jpeg. format along with all the deliverables.
When can we expect the photos after the celebration?
We will provide you with up to 10 post-processed photos within 5 days of the event with key moments from the celebration. You can share the photos with your family and friends.
How do you approach poses for couples?
As documentary storytellers, we don’t pose couples in traditional ways or stage scenes. Instead, we capture moments in their true essence, allowing couples to be themselves, even in front of the camera.
What kind of music do you use in your wedding films?
As visual storytellers, we put great thought into choosing the perfect music for each film. Instead of relying on trending songs that quickly fade from popularity, we select musical notes that complement the unique vibe of the wedding and stand the test of time.
