Photographs that hold
the day exactly as it felt
SG Photography documents weddings, ceremonies and family milestones across Malnad — unhurried, warm, and honest.
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.

Families we have worked with
Kind words
“They photographed our wedding in Sorab across three days and never once got in the way of the rituals. The photographs feel like the day actually felt.”
Arjun & DeepaWedding, Sorab “Mahendra sir handled our daughter's namakarana beautifully. He waited for the baby instead of forcing poses, and every elder in the family got a proper portrait.”
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.”
