About Milestone & Portrait Photography
What I Do
I want your story to look and feel real, not staged. I shoot milestones that matter: pre-wedding moments, maternity chapters, and all the wild, sweet chaos of family life. Candid family portraits are my thing, but I also love mixing in a few classic poses so you get the best of both worlds.
Our Space
My studio in Bangalore is more like a giant playground than a regular photo spot. No running between locations - everything’s here. Lush lawns, misty fields, Santorini-style walls, and even a vintage scooter if you want that retro vibe. You’ll find sets for every mood, from grand arches to cozy cabins.
How It Works
I keep things simple. You pick a look (we've got gowns, blazers, everything), show up, and I take care of the rest. Private studio photoshoots Bangalore style, with makeup and props sorted too. If you want a themed milestone session, just say the word.
My Style
I lean towards cinematic pre-wedding photography and portraits that feel both timeless and genuine. You’ll walk away with photos that actually feel like you, not a copy-paste version.
If you want beautiful photos without any fuss, that’s what I do best.

My Story
Hey, Manu here. Movies are my jam, but I love turning real life into something that feels like a film. That’s how The Shire Studio happened. I’m all about those little moments - the way the light hits, the laughter, the quiet in-between bits. I want your photos to feel like you walked into your own movie scene. No boring poses, just the real stuff, with a bit of magic.
My Work
What I Shoot - Pre-wedding, maternity, fashion, commercial, and fun kids' birthday shoots. I try to keep things cinematic.
All-in-One Packages - You get location, costumes, makeup - the works. Makes life easy, and you get to just show up and enjoy.
Our Studio Space - The Shire Studio has curated sets for that romantic studio photoshoot vibe. You can also book just the space.
Combo Deals - Sometimes I offer all-inclusive photo package deals with everything bundled. Good way to save and keep it simple.
