OUR STORY
Wedding photography is like looking for tiny pockets of stillness, in the middle of a large, crowded hall, bustling with people, kids, laughter, and music. To preserve these quaint moments forever in images is a huge responsibility. There's so much going on all around, yet all of it is so magical. I really loved this feeling, especially the feeling of seeing people respond to their special moments, captured by me in photographs. It was then, that the Idea of the creative durbar was conceived. Soon, after a few days, The Creative Durbar took birth.
Hi, I am Sagar Kapoor, the founder of The Creative Durbar. What started as a freelance project, today, The Creative Durbar aims to provide the best photography and film services based on client budgets and requirements. We don't see it as a job rather we try to become a part of the stories we shoot, and we try to create something beautiful out of magical moments of life that can be cherished forever.

How big is your team usually?No one likes to be crowded and obstructed by 10-15 photographers on their special day. We like to operate in teams that are big enough so that we don't miss a moment and small enough to not get in the way of you and your loved ones. In the past we have worked with a team of maximum 7 photographers but we are most productive in a team of 3-5 people.

How much does it cost to book you guys for a wedding?Each wedding is unique and magical in its own way and we try to provide the best for your budget segment.

On an average it costs anywhere between 75,000 to 2,10,000 inr for a two day wedding. But as I said, theres magic everywhere and every story is worth preserving. So we are always ready to provide you the best even at lower cost, as long as we don't have to compromise on the quality of output.
