At a glance
The important information is kept visible. Longer production notes are tucked into expandable sections so the page does not become a wall of text.
Pasni / Annaprashana can be photographed as the home rice-feeding ritual, the main celebration, or a split day covering both.
Standard Main Celebration — Up To 4 Hours Of Photography
- One photographer for up to 4 hours of active coverage.
- 30+ signature photographs receive detailed individual finishing.
- The wider usable gallery is professionally curated and receives colour, exposure, crop and consistency corrections. A busy 4-hour celebration can produce 300+ delivered photographs, but this is not a guaranteed minimum because the final count depends on the schedule, guest count, lighting, activity and number of usable moments.
- Coverage can include the rice-feeding ritual, baby portraits, parents and grandparents, family groups, blessings, cultural details, guests, décor, speeches/activities where applicable and candid moments.
- High-resolution JPEG photographs are delivered through a private online gallery.
- 30+ signature photographs receive detailed finishing; the wider delivered gallery is professionally curated and colour/exposure corrected. High-resolution JPEGs via private gallery. Video is separate. RAW files are not included.
Important details
Video, hybrid coverage, split-day arrangements and other conditions remain available without forcing every visitor to read everything at once.
Video — Separate From The Photography Price
Video is not included in the listed photography price. If solo hybrid photo + video coverage is requested and confirmed in writing, the standard Pasni hybrid video deliverable is one approximately 3-minute edited highlight film made from selected clips captured during the event. It is a highlight film, not continuous full-event recording.
One-person Hybrid Coverage
Lens & Moments currently operates as a one-person shooting team for standard bookings. During solo hybrid coverage, the operator switches between photo and video. Because one person cannot capture the same instant in both formats at once, some moments may be delivered only as photographs and other moments only as video. Important priorities should be identified before the event.
Full Simultaneous Photo + Video
If you need the same important moments covered fully in both photography and video, an additional photographer/videographer is required. Additional crew is subject to availability and quoted separately.
Video Frame Grabs
A still frame can be exported from a video clip as a fallback, but it will not have the same resolution, detail, dynamic range or editing flexibility as a photograph captured in photo mode.
Split-day Coverage
For a home ceremony followed by a later party or reception, choose the split-day option and provide both call times and locations. Travel outside Bendigo & Central Victoria, unusually long gaps, very large guest numbers or extra production requirements are confirmed before booking.
Optional extras
Extras are not part of the displayed coverage price. You choose quantities on the request form.
