Deepanshi I. Sent on 19/04/2023Lost precious memories due to lack of proper videography
I chose the Memory Trunk for my wedding because I wanted candid photography. I discussed at the very beginning that I wanted: (a) candid photography, (b) traditional videography and (c) a video of highlights, of all the six functions, including pre-wedding events. I was assured that it will be done and that a “local videographer” would be brought in for the traditional video because the Memory Trunk did not have one in their team. I was told not to worry about it because shooting a traditional video is the simplest part and doesn’t require a specialist. The entire payment was charged in advance. When I received the videos a few months after the wedding, I was shocked to find that the so-called traditional videographer had not recorded most part of my functions. What I got in the name of a traditional video was just a longer version of highlights (short slow-motion clips). I thought it might be due to over-editing, so I asked for the full unedited video footage of my functions, for which I was charged extra. I was devastated to find that there was no proper video footage recorded at all. The whole idea of traditional videography is to continuously record everything that is happening at the event and there are special cameras for this purpose. When I asked about the lack of proper traditional video, I was told that the videographer did not have the camera that could record continuously for long time without heating up, which is why he recorded only short clips! Why was I not informed about this when I was discussing my requirement of a traditional video at the beginning? To add insult to injury, the said videographer, when asked about the less video footage, is supposed to have said that “there was nothing much happening there, so what was I supposed to record?” while my friends and family sang and danced the whole time. What else was supposed to be happening, I wonder!
I ended up paying almost double of what I would have paid to any other vendor and, on top of that, ended up being provided a so-called traditional video of just 16 minutes for a function that lasted over three hours! When I was infuriated by the loss of precious memories and asked to speak directly with the videographer who had failed to shoot even basic video footage of my most special occasion, I was surprisingly told that due to confidentiality, the identity of the videographer cannot be disclosed to me. Over a year has passed, I still deeply regret engaging the videographer from the Memory Trunk because I do not have even the basic videos of several important wedding functions that included dancing, singing and moments of getting together with friends and family. While Kriti Agarwal, who did the candid photography and the interviews, was very professional throughout and the photographs were worthwhile, but the shock of not having a basic traditional video covering the functions of my most special days is a shock that me and my family will never get over. I wish I had been told in the very beginning to make my own arrangement for traditional videographer since they did not have a proper professional or the necessary equipment for it. I hope that this blunder does not happen to anyone else’s wedding because after all, the whole point is to preserve these precious memories for a life time, which is permanently scarred for me.

Ananya S. Sent on 17/06/2022You will laugh, cry and reminisce at the spectacular journey the Memory trunk team put together of your day.
After the wedding day life just seemed to be on fast forward for a while. I am only now getting back to say a massive thank you to Kriti and her team. The most enthusiastic, supportive, unobtrusive, helpful and lovely photographer, who also happens to capture the best photos! Thank you so much for being such an amazing photographer and more importantly an empath and a beautiful soul. You made the wedding day go by so seamlessly, taking emotional, intimate photos- you are a magician with the camera. As soon as i met you at Barista for the first time, i felt so much at ease, in fact the entire wedding day there were small moments when you made me feel comfortable ( i won't ever forget how you were standing beside me during my make-up and directed the person). As cliched as it sounds I felt in that moment that you were family- looking after me. The quality of the photos are flawless, the way you manage to capture genuine emotions in each shot- it is incredible! Your dedication, humility and passion towards the craft is quite impressive. And you yourself are just so warm, joyful and full of light, which is exactly what I felt every time I’ve interacted with you. You were so kind and patient with our families and friends. I’m just so grateful for all you did for me leading up to and on our wedding day. It is now just the deliverables but the bonds we made with the team, particularly Gurmeetji. It has been seven months but I can safely say that time has in no way mellowed my appreciation for Kriti’s work. Thank you so much for being incredibly generous with your time and energy. Wishing Kriti and her team a bigger, better and more fulfilling journey!The Memory Trunk's reply:
It’s been such an honour getting to spend time with you and your family.
We’ve had one of the most incredible and fulfilling experience - as artists and humans at your wedding.
We’re forever grateful for the love and warmth you’ve shown us.
Wishing you the very best in life!

Mukta G. Sent on 12/01/2022Best photographer you should Hire!
Kriti and her Team- Just Wow!
I feel my best decision was to get her on board for the wedding.She and her team has an immense sense of professionalism.
Right from the day we hired her she started taking inputs on our expectations and how we want the pictures and videos to be. Her planning was on point. She delivered everything on time and in the way we wanted.
Whenever I or the family look at the pictures and the wedding film there automatically is a smile on our faces as if we are reliving those moments.
Thank you @The memory trunk for capturing our moments so beautifully.❤️
If you are looking for a wedding photographer you should definitely hire them!
The Memory Trunk's reply:

We’re so glad you’re happy & satisfied and that we could be of good service to you!
Good luck! -

Engaging 'The Memory Trunk' for shooting the wedding was one of the best decisions we took. The team left no stone unturned to capture the most intimate moments at the wedding. The extra effort put in to get to know the bride, groom, and family clearly enriches the outcome.
