Bengaluru: Wedding photography is increasingly moving beyond posed portraits, with couples looking for photographs and films that preserve the atmosphere, emotions and spontaneous moments of their celebrations. In Bengaluru, SunGlam Films, founded by Sameer Chandra Kumar, has built its photography practice around this candid approach since 2017.
Capturing Weddings as They Happen
For SunGlam Films, candid photography centres on observing rather than constantly directing the people being photographed. The approach focuses on expressions, interactions and unscripted moments that naturally take place during wedding rituals and celebrations.
The studio’s portfolio includes wedding photography, pre-wedding shoots, cinematic wedding films and birthday photography, along with coverage for occasions such as engagements, naming ceremonies, baby showers and housewarming events.
From Experience Behind the Camera to Building a Studio
Sameer Chandra Kumar, founder of SunGlam Films, began the studio in 2017 after spending years working alongside professional photographers and learning how wedding events unfold in real settings. The experience helped shape the studio’s emphasis on anticipating moments rather than waiting for them to be staged.
The company’s website currently states that it has more than eight years of experience and 150+ events captured, while its founder profile refers to more than 100 events during the earlier phase of the studio’s journey.
Photography and Cinematic Films Under One Roof
SunGlam Films combines still photography with traditional and cinematic videography, giving couples options for documenting both the formal and spontaneous aspects of a wedding.
Its cinematic wedding film portfolio includes different styles of celebrations, including South Indian weddings, intimate ceremonies and multicultural celebrations. The studio also offers pre-wedding photography, engagement coverage and photography for family celebrations, extending its work beyond the wedding day itself.
Focus on Clarity and Deliverables
Alongside photography, the studio highlights practical aspects of the client experience, including clarity of services and charges, quality-focused output and delivery timelines. Its website provides package information for different types of shoots, allowing customers to understand the broad scope of services before making a booking.
The company also states that smaller events have shorter delivery timelines, while wedding projects follow timelines agreed upon before work begins.
A Bengaluru-Based Approach to Wedding Stories
SunGlam Films currently serves clients across Bengaluru and also mentions coverage for locations including Mysuru and surrounding areas. Its work reflects a broader shift in wedding photography towards documentary-style storytelling, where the objective is not only to record how an event looked, but also how it felt.
For Sameer Chandra Kumar and the SunGlam Films team, the central idea remains relatively simple: observe the moment, understand the flow of the celebration and preserve genuine interactions through photographs and films.
That approach continues to shape SunGlam Films as it develops its presence in Bengaluru’s wedding photography space.
