About Wedding & Event Photography
I let my photos do the talking—every frame tells a piece of your story. Weddings are full of energy, tradition, and emotion, especially South Indian weddings, and that's what I try to capture with clean, timeless images.
What I Love Shooting
- Pre-wedding and post-wedding sessions, usually outdoors or at spots that feel personal to you.
- Engagement and ring ceremonies—those moments when the nerves and excitement kick in.
- All the fun and colour of Haldi and Mehendi (pre-wedding Haldi & Mehendi coverage is a favourite).
- The big day itself, from the chaos backstage to the rituals that make your family unique.
My Style
- I blend natural candid couple portraits with a few classic posed shots, so you get the best of both worlds.
- Small details matter: the way the saree drapes, the mangalsutra, or that quick smile between rituals—nothing too staged.
- You’ll get a mix of vibrant, true-to-life colours and some classic black and white wedding edits in your final set.
Where I Work
- Bangalore is home turf for me, but I do travel for destination weddings (Goa, Chennai, you name it).
- I’ve got a solid network here—makeup artists, designers, planners—so things usually go pretty smooth.
The Gear
- I use a Nikon Z6 II, which just means your photos are sharp, detailed, and print-ready.
If you’re after elegant wedding day storytelling that feels like you, you’re in the right place.

My Story
Hey, Sham here. Most folks know me as the guy with a camera who’s always lurking at the edge of the crowd. Bangalore’s got this buzz, you know? I get to work with all kinds - models, Sandalwood actors, regular people celebrating life. For me, every shot’s gotta have a vibe. No words needed. Just the story in the frame.
My Work
Photography for People & Events - I shoot portraits, pre-wedding, weddings, and events. Also do paid collabs with models, influencers, brands.
Modern & Traditional Styles - Mixing modern moody portraits with vibrant traditional shoots, like Mohiniyattam dance photography.
Natural & Studio Light - I’m comfy both outdoors in natural light and inside with studio setups, whatever suits the mood.
Easygoing Sessions - I keep things chill. Little direction, lots of space for you to just be you. Clean, high-quality images.
Open to All - Worked with Bangalore influencers, models, actresses. Anyone wanting great pics, I’m game.
