We’ve finally put together an article for the most commonly asked questions from our clients: The list of the best photographers in Bangalore.
Do note that this list only gives a sneak peek to a few photographers and the choice of a photographer is very subjective to your likes and dislikes. Though there are a lot more photographers who are talented and do a brilliant job at weddings, this list is purely based on our experience with each team and the whole journey of planning weddings with them.
Before we get on to the list of photographers, we put together a few pointers on what you should consider before talking to or choosing the right team:
Dates and Availability: Auspicious wedding dates are only a few in the year and yours might overlap with a lot of other weddings in town. Get your dates clear before speaking to photographers and ask them to block it in your name. Some photographers have primary and secondary teams based on dates, budget, location, etc. Make sure you understand these before finalising.
Budget: Set a realistic budget for photography when you are planning for your wedding. These pictures and videos will be for a lifetime and in some cases, it’s okay to spend a few extra bucks for quality and service.
Services Needed: There are a lot of different kinds of services that photographers offer. From drones to candid videos and luxurious albums, the list is endless. Talk with your family about your needs beforehand so that the conversation with the photographer becomes easier.
While you may already know the above information, we felt that these are often overlooked pointers that may delay or create obstacles in your decision-making process. And now, as promised, here is our list of the best wedding photographers in Bangalore.

With a growing team of talented individuals, the team is on a mission to professionalize and bring structure into a very disorganised industry. They are a diverse team that can cater to any wedding-related event.
What to consider before choosing your Wedding Photographer:
Photography Style:
Each team of photographers has a flair of their own that is reflected in their work. When you review all their portfolios, make a note of how you feel when you look at them so it will help you judge what you liked the best.
Budget:
Much like all else in the wedding industry, the upper limit for spending does not exist. Make sure you chart down your allotted budget for photography before you speak to the teams. Keep some wiggle room for negotiation.
Reviews:
While a picture speaks a thousand words, customer feedback speaks a lot more when it comes to vendors in the wedding industry. Read the testimonials and reviews on different platforms. Ask if you can speak to some of their old clients if you have concerns that couldn’t be addressed.
Location:
If you have events in multiple locations, then travel and accommodation for the photography team have to be taken care of by you. Add that to the overall budget so it doesn’t come up as last minute expense.
Contract:
Even though a wedding is an emotional affair, it is still a business. Make sure that you read the terms of the contract and sign it before the wedding
While all of the above are brilliant choices for photographers, the final decision for who you choose as your wedding photographer is dependent on a few factors.
