About Blue Haathi Photography

Blue Haathi Photography

Welcome to the captivating world of Blue Haathi Photography, where emotions meet artistry and every click tells a story. For me, photography is more than just a profession—it's a profound emotion, a journey of painting on the canvas of nature. Each frame is a brushstroke, capturing the essence of the moment with unparalleled depth and sincerity. In the heart of our craft lies a deep appreciation for people and their emotions. Every smile, every tear, every moment of genuine happiness is not just captured but immortalized through the lens

In each photograph, there's a story waiting to be told—a narrative of love, laughter, and life's precious moments. We don't just document events; we encapsulate emotions, weaving them into visual tales that evoke nostalgia and warmth

    Blue Haathi Photography's communication was excellent throughout the entire process. They were always in touch and listened carefully to what we wanted for our wedding day. The quality of their work was fantastic - the photos they took were beautiful and captured all the special moments. They went above and beyond, taking extra time after the wedding to conduct a photoshoot just for us to add to the wedding video. We had a wonderful experience working with Blue Haathi Photography and would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a talented and dedicated wedding photographer.

    Hired them last year for our wedding and the words that describe our experience are impossible, frustrating and disappointing. - VJ was uncooperative. Example, I asked that a photographer be stationed outside the wedding hall to capture the entrance of our guests. Despite spending over 300 on exterior decorations and having 5 people from his team at the venue, VJ didn't assign anyone. Final vid of 90 mins: - Some sequences were included that we didn't want, while omitting important ones. Example, I didn't know footage of me crying loudly existed until it was in the final version and he refused to make any edits. To make matters worse, this crying scene was repeated. - Crucial moments such as the officiant's speech, meeting of both families, and various dance sequences were excluded. Instead, the video had repetitive and unwatchable content. VJ even claimed that the footage we wanted is unavailable, but all the videos were there in raw files (I checked after getting hard drive upon project "completion"). VJ dismissed our concerns, we had to accept video's subpar final version. Also, photos of important dance sequences weren't provided at all (raw or edited)! - The bridal entry song was a sad one. We were also depicted dancing to American music in an Indian style, although this didn’t happen at the actual event. I had shared specific YouTube links for all the songs, especially for the bridal entry, well in advance of the wedding. - Our first dance was also poorly captured, with our backs shown instead of our faces. It seems like a tutorial on how to shoot a first dance rather than the dance itself. Despite repeated requests, VJ refused to make any changes. Also, video file (1 hr 30 mins) wasn’t compressed properly, takes 8-9 hrs to transfer. - The end of highlights video (12 mins) was poorly handled as well. A good videographer should know not to include others in the bride and groom’s first kiss, yet officiant is in the frame despite her being at the end of the stage. We feel deceived the exact opposite happened. He assured me over call that my requests would be honored, but none of them were. Prior to the call, I even spent 3 weeks creating a detailed document with exact time stamps from the livestream to guide final editing of the video, but was all disregarded. It wasn't in the contract that we had to accept the final version as is, yet VJ insisted on this, citing an "Artistic Release" clause that gave him free rein to do whatever he wanted. Upon pushing back, he argued that since liked the videos of his previous clients, we should be happy. But we admired his prev work as it didn’t have repetitive content while the important sequences are missing or poorly shot sequences. VJ used past sucesses as an excuse to impose a disappointing final product on us. To accomodate them we asked if corrections could be done by Xmas last year (was a Spring wedding) and offered more money, VJ refused. Response: Zola doesn't allow edit, they remove then you've to add review again. Upon comparing your version to the one that was imposed on us (90mins), we confirm entire review is true. You've changed sequences, entry song, removed crying one, that's NOT what we have in the one that was imposed on us. People can't know which important dance sequences are missing as they weren't there!

    Response from vendorSep 12, 2024
    Hi Kurt & Megha, We welcome everyone to view the videos and photos and judge the quality of our services for themselves. You can see the beautiful video in question here, To clarify, we withdrew from your project three weeks before the wedding due to a conflict of interest and the volume of communications. Despite offering a full refund and recommending other photographers and videographers, you chose to stay with us, and we continued to serve you in good faith. Although you sent 10-15 emails daily, which we believe was excessive, we responded to each one, even while on vacation and during an emergency. We delivered the photos and videos via Cloud Drive before receiving full payment, which you completed only after reviewing the final outputs. We also personally handed over the physical copies to you. Our contract covered 10 hours of service with four resources, with an agreement to deliver 500-700 edited photos. However, we provided 930 edited images. The highlight video was agreed at 5-7 minutes, but we delivered a 12-minute version. For the full video, we agreed to up to 1 hour and 30 minutes, but we delivered 2 hours and 1 minute, which included mobile clips from a third party. All videos and photos contain metadata that confirms their creation and editing times, which cannot be altered. We also have signed contracts, documented communications, and records of all payments and revisions. Our legal team is preparing to take this matter to court. We will not tolerate false claims, harassment, or defamatory statements in public forums. If we have made any legitimate error, we are prepared to accept responsibility and bear the legal costs. We expect the same level of accountability from your side. Over the last three years, we have completed 50+ weddings and 200+ events, with all videos posted on our YouTube channel. You are the only client to raise such issues a year after delivery. We also have evidence that you frequently post negative reviews against various vendors (screenshots of your deleted reviews are on record). The only positive review you've posted is for a restaurant owned by your relatives which was deleted after we pointed but we have the screenshot :

    VJ was great with his photography skills. Very understanding with our needs and requirements. Photos exceeded our expectations. His editing skills are outstanding. Couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to capture our Haldi ceremony.
