THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE DECIDING

POINTS NOT IN FAVOUR

1. Location

Gangtok is situated in a distant state of India in the north eastern parts, also it is far away from the railway station as well as the airport which makes it even longer journey to reach there. These long journeys tire the couple and that requires rest because tiredness can steal away the essence of the pre wedding shoot. The couple should plan the days and the schedule of the shoot accordingly so that they can tackle this issue.

2. No Restaurants Nearby

No matter how big a tourist place Gangtok is but the beauty of the hills can only be explored in its most raw places. These raw locations are generally not in easy reach of the facilities like hotels or restaurants which makes it difficult sometimes for the couple. They have to carry their food with them or they have to leave for the shoot after having a proper meal, so that they can avoid the hindrance caused by the hunger.

3. No Changing Room

As mentioned in the point away, that the shoot locations in the hilly areas are generally away from these facilities. The unavailability of the changing room is an important issue as it means the pre wedding photographs has to be clicked in one single outfit or the couple has to do some up and down from their hotel to shoot location and then going back and coming back again and again.
