For portraits, yes, but fast and natural, nothing held for minutes. At the wedding itself, never. We shoot what happens, and we make sure both families are in it.

What happens if a delivery is late?

Your Happiness Manager tells you before the date, with the new date and the reason. You should never discover a delay by asking. The penalty for a miss is written into your contract.

How many people will be at our wedding?

It depends on the event and the crowd. Your quotation lists the crew for every event. A typical wedding day has seven people; a large reception more.

When do we get everything?

Few Snaps in 24 hours, your SSD with all originals in 10–15 days, edited photos and films on the dates in your contract, and albums after you've picked your favourites with us.

Do you travel outside Hyderabad?

Yes. Inside Hyderabad's ORR, travel and stay are on us. Outside it, travel is billed at cost with every bill visible in your app, and the family arranges stay.

Why ₹3–6 lakh, and not a package?

Because no two weddings need the same crew. The price comes from your events, the crowd at each one, and the people each ritual needs. Build it yourself on Build Your Quote in a few minutes. Nobody calls until you ask.

Wedding photography and films that look the way the day felt.

By The Big Day by Chai · Last updated 4 November 2026

In short

The largest wedding photography & film team in Hyderabad. 500 weddings a year. Named crew, delivery dates in writing, and an app so you never chase an update.

Natural, alive, both families in the frame, from a team that puts your delivery dates in writing.

Based in Hyderabad. Shooting Telugu weddings across Telangana and Andhra since 2022.

The Big Day by Chai is a wedding photography and film studio based in Hyderabad, Telangana, India. It shoots Telugu weddings across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, Christian church weddings and Nikahs, and weddings across India, unposed and video-first, with a named shoot lead at every event, delivery dates written into the contract, and The Big Day app so families never chase an update.

We never ask you to pose

What it means

We don't stop a ritual for a photo. We don't ask you to hold a smile while the purohit waits. We don't line the family up for an hour under harsh lights. Your wedding runs the way it was always going to.

How it works

Portraits still happen: fast, natural, in the light that's there. The rest of the day we're part of the family: talking, laughing, standing where the moment is about to happen. That's why the photos look like the day felt.

Three things we put in writing

Your delivery dates

Every date goes into your contract before you pay. If we miss one, the penalty is on us.

A named shoot lead

One person leads every event of your wedding and knows your family before day one. Nothing is figured out for the first time in front of your guests.

The Big Day app

Every update reaches you before you think to ask. You never chase anyone, ever.

How we take care of it

You book. That week, you meet your Happiness Manager. One person owns your wedding from now until the album. Your delivery dates go into your contract, in writing.
A month out, your shoot lead runs the Creative Crunch Call. We plan the story, the songs and the family list together, and you see all of it in your Journey, with dates.
Every event starts with your OTP. You'll know who's coming and how many, ritual by ritual. The shoot begins only when you hand us the code, and the app shows the crew checked in.
Within 24 hours: Few Snaps from every event. A glimpse of everything, in your app, before the relatives have left the city.
Then the dates do the talking. All originals in 10–15 days. Photos, films and albums on the dates we wrote down. Every travel bill visible in Pay.

Who will be at your wedding

Your shoot lead (Assigned 30 days before your first event)

Runs your Creative Crunch Call, leads every event of your wedding, and signs off the family photo list before the day. The same face at the Pellikuthuru and at the reception.

Our shoot leads include Nikhitha, Ramakrishna, Ravi Teja.

Your Happiness Manager (From booking to album)

The one number you need. Tells you before you ask (a date that moves, a bill that's due, a song we still need) and answers everything else.

Our happiness managers include Usha, Sreevidhya.
