The baraat is pure celebration: the groom arriving on a horse, in a vintage car or on foot, surrounded by family and friends dancing to the dhol. It’s loud, it moves fast and it’s one of the most fun parts of an Indian wedding to film. Here’s how we approach baraat photography in Windsor.
Plan the route
Before the day, we confirm where the baraat starts, the route and where it meets the bride’s family for the milni. Knowing the route means we can be ahead of the procession instead of chasing it.
Multiple angles
Our crew splits up to cover:
- The groom: his entrance, reactions and the moment he sees the venue
- The dancers: friends and family going all-in with the dhol
- The welcoming side: the bride’s family waiting with garlands and aarti
- Wide shots that show the full scale of the celebration
Drone footage
Where it’s legal, safe and the weather allows, a drone shot of the baraat from above is one of the most cinematic moments in any wedding film. Windsor’s airport and border proximity mean some areas need extra planning, so we check airspace in advance.
Sound matters
The dhol, the cheers and the music are half of the baraat’s energy. Our videographers capture clean audio so your highlight film feels like you’re back in the middle of it.
Planning tips
- Check with your venue about baraat rules, horses, music volume and parking-lot use
- Give your dhol player and DJ a clear start time
- Build buffer time into your schedule. Baraats almost always run long
Winter baraats
Windsor winters don’t stop the party. Shorter outdoor routes, indoor entrances or a covered drop-off can keep things moving while still looking great on camera.
FAQ
Do you cover the milni too?
Yes. The baraat flows straight into the milni and we cover both.
Can you capture the groom getting ready beforehand?
Absolutely. Groom prep and the sehra bandi are part of most packages.
