Recommended timings for a yacht photoshoot
We usually recommend doing photoshoots on a yacht in the morning or afternoon as the lighting conditions are perfect in the morning and peak afternoon. Most photographers prefer to do photoshoots between 7 am to 4 pm.
However, if you are looking to capture a near-sunset, 4-6 pm would be an ideal time depending on the season. This timing is the least preferred for photography though.
Yachts with a private cabin
For pre-wedding photo shoots, we usually recommend going for yacht which has a private cabin. The private cabin on the yacht can be used for changing which is very convenient for a smooth experience.
Extra motor boat for taking external shots
While the photographer can click amazing photos on the yacht, it will still not be possible to capture the entire yacht in one frame. For this, we recommend hiring an extra motor boat for a short duration. The couple can pose on the main yacht booked for the pre-wedding shoot and the photographer / camera person can click photos from the extra motor boat. This way, you will be able to capture photos of the couple showing the entire yacht.
Hiring an extra motor boat for this costs between ₹ 1,500 to ₹ 3,000 depending on the duration. Please note that this cost is over and above the cost of the main yacht booked for the pre-wedding shoot.
Photography Permissions
Carrying professional photography equipment like DSLR, lenses, tripods, etc. is not allowed at the sailing venue (Jetty No. 5). Prior permissions are required for the same and it may cost extra depending on the accessories you plan to carry on the yacht. Please inform us about all the cameras, equipment and accessories you plan to carry along with you on the yacht so that we can assist you accordingly.
