The studio
Malnad weddings, photographed with patience
Run by Mahendra V Gowda from Jade in Sorab taluk, SG Photography has spent years inside mantapas, courtyards and coffee estates across Shivamogga district. We work quietly around your rituals rather than staging them, and we hand back photographs your family will still open twenty years from now.

Rakesh HNamakarana, Shivamogga “The online gallery made choosing photographs so easy. We marked our favourites from the phone and got the album exactly as we wanted.”
Sushma & KiranEngagement, Sagara “Drone shots of the procession through the estate were the highlight for our relatives abroad. Delivery was quick and everything was full quality.”
