What Couples Said

After their wedding

He Said Years Will Pass. But Good Photographs Become More Valuable With Time.

That was my first phone call with Anand. As a bride you already have too much going on. You should not be worrying about angles, whether your family made it into the frames, or whether your photographer is awkward around you. Anand and his team handle all of that so you can be present at your wedding. By the wedding day, I already knew we were in good hands.

Five Minutes Into Meeting Anand, the Search Was Over.

I had shortlisted a few and started making calls. Five minutes into meeting Anand, I knew I wanted him to shoot my wedding. He puts in real effort to know our story and our family before the wedding. On the day, he was there for everything. He brings a reassuring presence and works comfortably with both couples and families.

Every Time I See My Wedding Photos, I Relive the Day.

Anand does not just click pictures. He documents moments and emotions in a way that lets you relive them. With minimal inputs and the chaos of a wedding, he covered all the important people and events. What stood out was his consistency, attention to detail, and ability to handle a complex wedding smoothly.

He Sought Out the People Closest to Me. Even My Grandmother Who Hates Photos.

For my wedding at Bangalore, Anand did the candid photography. He himself identified and met the people closest to me, made them feel at ease, and shot their pictures. They turned out to be the best photos of my wedding. My grandmother who hates photos has her nicest pictures from that day. He also honored the solemnity of a traditional Coorg Kodava ceremony, which made the event more meaningful for us.

Questions

Can you hold an engagement or wedding at Hotel Damson Plum in Lucknow?

Yes. Hotel Damson Plum sits on Amar Shaheed Path in the Golf City area of Lucknow, behind Lulu Mall. The hotel runs two banquet spaces, Opera and Oak, each divisible into smaller sections and each with its own lawn or terrace, so a function can move between an indoor hall and an open area. It has 88 rooms, including suites, and its own catering and decor team. Dhruv and Mahima held their engagement in one of its halls for the evening.

How much does a wedding photographer cost in Bangalore?

Wedding photography with The Third Eye Photography starts at ₹2 lakh for two events: the wedding ceremony and reception. Couples who want broader coverage typically invest around ₹3.5 lakh. The final cost depends on the number of events and days, and on additions such as wedding films, drone coverage and albums. Tell us your date and events for a quote.

How do we find out if you are free on our date?

Send us your date and city, and we tell you plainly whether the date is free. If it is taken, we say so rather than leave you guessing. Check your date.

Can we book a photographer for a Bengaluru wedding while we are living abroad?

Yes. We plan with couples who live abroad over calls scheduled around their time zone. More on how it works is on our NRI and destination wedding photography page.

Do you photograph weddings outside Bangalore?

Yes. We photograph weddings across India and internationally. Over the years, we have covered weddings and events in Delhi, Lucknow, Jaipur, Himachal, Chandigarh, Hyderabad, Chennai, Madurai, Kerala, Goa, Pune, and Chikmagalur. We have also photographed weddings and events in the UK, Singapore, Dubai, and Trancoso, Brazil.

Every location brings its own setting, traditions, and logistics, and we plan the coverage around the wedding and its events.
