Trusted Family Event Photographer Across Bengaluru and Delhi NCR/Gurugram

I'm Shambhavi Kartik, I've been photographing family events for over 10 years. I work with families in Bengaluru, Delhi, Gurugram, Noida, covering everything from housewarming ceremonies to other important family milestones.

I am now based in Bangalore, and I continue to bring this same documentary style approach to family events here, alongside my ongoing work across Delhi NCR and Gurugram.

Family events usually happen fast and don't last long. That's what makes them fun to shoot, I have to stay alert from the very first moment and get good photos within a short window of time. I try to keep things simple. Instead of pausing the event to set up every single shot, I stay close to what's actually happening around me.

There's a lot going on at once, rituals, guests, food, conversations. I try to catch the small, real moments happening alongside the bigger ones, so that even with everything moving quickly, the photos still feel personal to your family.

Whether the event is indoors or outdoors, my goal is the same: capture the day as it really happened. From a griha pravesham to a half-saree ceremony, a seemantham (baby shower) to an ayushya homam, I shoot each event based on what feels right for your family.

Most families want more than just formal, posed pictures from a big day. They want photos that hold onto how the day actually felt, the rituals, the laughter, the small moments shared between family members. As a documentary-style photographer, I cover many traditional Hindu ceremonies, including seemantham, namkaran, mundan, ayushya homam, griha pravesham, shashtiabdhapoorthi, sadhabhishekam, half-saree functions, Annaprashan and rice ceremonies, and other family milestones. Every event is shaped around how your family wants to celebrate, and captured in a way that stays true to the day.

This outdoor first birthday event photography session follows the family's journey from an earlier baby shower photoshoot to this milestone, with the soft, crisp winter backdrop of the golf course adding a special touch to every frame. A lovely example of how documenting a family across milestones, from baby shower to first birthday, creates a story that unfolds one celebration at a time.

Noor's Uber-Cool First Birthday Party Celebration

An uber-cool first birthday photoshoot for Noor at En, a stylish Japanese restaurant near Qutub Minar, Delhi, featuring modern decor in baby pink and matte green. This restaurant birthday photoshoot captured Noor dancing and enjoying every bit of her celebration with complete confidence, while a wall of photos from her first year turned the venue into a personal timeline. A lovely example of candid kids photography, showing how thoughtful personal touches and natural, unposed energy come together to make a first birthday celebration feel like a story rather than a staged event.

A turns ONE! celebrating her first birthday party in Dwarka, Delhi

The decor was done up perfectly to suit the mood and our little one was super busy exploring the party area. Unfazed by the number of relatives who wanted to hold her, she did not forget to up her fun quotient and continued to explore the venue all by herself!

An Outdoor Birth Announcement Party for A in Delhi

I got the opportunity to cover his birth announcement party as well.

And this idea of introducing the new family member to the rest of the world, after a certain time has passed, appeals to me a lot. These few months allow the mother and the baby to bond well, allows the baby to start acclimatizing with the world and so on.
