Turns out, we leave a mark.

Bharath

Sharath is a fantastic photographer who specialises in candid clicks. He was the guy in charge at our wedding a couple of years back, and the only problem we encountered was trying to choose our favourites, because there were so many amazing shots. We were camera shy initially but he made us feel comfortable and did a great job taking beautiful pictures. I would definitely recommend Sharath to anyone!

Shruthi & Akshay

We had a lot of fun during our post-wedding couple shoot. Those were some of the best memories, which we would like to keep forever.

Suma & Ravindra

'Passionate' is the word that comes to my mind when you ask me about Sharath. Sharath, as I know him, is very passionate about his work. I really appreciate his conviction and love towards photography, or any art for that matter, be it music, movies, plays, anything related to art! If you carefully observe his work, he brings a uniqueness which makes him stand out from the rest.

Sakala & Srinidhi

Capturing those precious moments and highlighting tiny things in a big occasion is an art. And Sharath proved that he is capable of doing both single-handedly! Very few people possess that special eye which sees things no one else can see, and Sharath has that eye. He is calm and quickly analyses that special moment and captures it. Aug 2, 2017 was a special day in my life when Srinidhi and I started our happily ever after chapter. To make this big day memorable and to cherish those fond moments even after we grow old, preserving pictures in an album is the best way! Neither did I want to pose for a snap nor follow those typical wedding photography trends. I discussed this with Sharath in advance and he definitely did not disappoint me. It was a typical Kannada wedding which went on for 2 days, comprising many customs and rituals. Dhaare, or the Muhurtham, is when there are a maximum number of tiny events happening along with the tying-the-knot ceremony. It’s the best event where you get to see diversity in emotions, ages, colours, clothes and jewellery. It all depends on how a photographer focuses on such details. We broke the tradition of standing on the stage for hours giving fake smiles in front of the camera and welcoming guests we hardly remember. Instead we moved off the stage, personally met each and every person present. Totally informal. I understand it was quite tiring for Sharath to run about the entire hall capturing those candid moments. But he did it! Thanks Sharath for making my wedding album a priceless possession! I highly recommend you all to take his service for any kind of special occasion you have. And listen, he doesn’t overcharge!

Deepika & Shashikanth

We were very clear from the beginning that we didn’t want to compromise on the photography aspect of our wedding. Choosing Sharath has been one of the best decisions. He’s approachable and he made the entire process very smooth for us. We were clear that we didn’t want any staged photographs. We wanted to see the true essence of a typical Indian wedding and he has captured exactly that. His frames are creative, and in the end we got photos which are colourful, lively and filled with happy faces, the quintessence of our wedding. I would strongly recommend him for your shoots.

Akhila & Ajith

He was very polite and friendly and calmly remained in the background, allowing the proceedings to flow naturally without camera breaks. The pictures have come out with superb clarity. My wife and I were probably a shy lot, but Sharath did a great job with his candid shots. The moments filled with emotions, expressed or subtle, do not miss his eye. I would definitely recommend his services.

Anjali & Balaji

The first thing I told Sharath was to capture the emotions of my sister and my mother, as I would not be able to witness it myself. I must say, he did an EXCELLENT job. He truly understood what I wanted out of the photos, not just mine and my husband’s images but also of the people who mattered to us. A good photographer, for me, does not ask you to pose for photos but captures the candid images. And by candid I mean not asking you to pose candidly, but just clicking. Thank you, Sharath, for the amazing memories you have given of my wedding.

Shivani & Santhosh

Sharath and his team did a spectacular job in capturing all the aspects of my sister’s wedding. A differentiating factor in his work was his passion for the job, the way emotions were captured in various parts of the wedding, and his innovative ideas for each shoot. Sharath also got involved in the decor of the venue and made the whole event even more memorable with extremely valuable inputs. His energy and ideas are commendable, and it was fun having Sharath on our wedding organisation team. In short, he etched the memories of the wedding in the most splendid way possible through his photographs.

Charlotte & Sunam

Wedding moments are something you live once, and you want everything to be perfect for your grand occasion. I just can’t describe in words what Sharath is capable of. He works with utmost proficiency and you can take him as a family member when he is around.


These are just a few of the qualities from working with him, and trust me the list would not stop: flexible, artistic, creative, responsive, caring, down to earth.


He has a reasonable, competitive price and his work speaks for it. I made the right decision with Sharath. Your decision is your choice, but from my side I would not have a second thought recommending him for his exuberant work.


He made our day, and these memorable moments will be cherished throughout our life. On our special wedding day, when there was an unforeseen situation, he just made us smile and got the brilliant shots.


Don’t worry if you’re not photogenic, shy, or don’t know how to pose. With Sharath you don’t need to be, he will take care of it! You are in safe hands!

Dhatri & Shravan

It was a really pleasant time that we shared with Sharath and his team. In a few days, they seemed like family. They made the entire experience very easy and enjoyable. Sharath was completely involved in the entire creative process of the marriage. His suggestions were very practical and creative. He completely understood our sensibilities. Looking back at the photos seems like the time has come alive again, and not just mere photos of events. It’s amazing how Sharath captured all the people in the marriage candidly and yet worked inconspicuously. The process of designing the album was also very constructive. We built on each other’s ideas and suggestions. In a creative process, the freedom to try out different possibilities is what makes the outcome great. That is what we as clients should give Sharath and his team. Thank you very much Sharath, for giving us this experience and capturing it so beautifully.

Bhavana & Athreya

Photography is a beautiful art and a photographer, a beautiful artist! Being a very talented and amazing photographer, you have captured precious moments of our life. Thanks a ton for giving those moments in the form of photos. Your photos tell a story which even a million words won’t be able to express this beautifully. You are really amazing and the best photographer I have ever met.

Ranjitha & Pavan

Sharath Padaru’s work was done to such a high standard. He is very professional and confident in his work, which I think is really important. He captured our wedding perfectly. Every little detail was captured to treasure as precious memories forever. We can’t thank you enough for all your hard work, we never thought we would have pictures like these. We would highly recommend him to other couples for their wedding day as he did such an amazing job on ours. Thank you Sharath.

Shubha & Santhosh

I knew from the time of my engagement that I wanted Sharath to capture all the precious moments of my wedding. Being his friend, I was apprehensive about his availability because he was busy shooting celebrity weddings, while my parents were apprehensive because he had taken up photography only as a hobby. When he accepted my request, it was the best gift I could have ever had. Hailing from a large extended family, a wedding is when I get to meet all my relatives. Seeing them come to wish me put a warm smile on my face throughout the day and the night of back-to-back rituals and meetings and greetings. Sharath has captured all those happy smiles, generous laughs, subtle emotions, curious peeps and also the boredom a few of them felt. The top notch quality of his photos and the artistic ingenuity in each of them gives no room for crafty editing. My parents unanimously agreed that no one else could have done any better. I may not have mentioned this to him, but he has become sort of a celebrity himself in my family. I have won so many accolades on behalf of him, I feel elated myself. Thanks a ton Sharath for putting up with my rigidity, yet giving me beautiful memories packed in frames.

Priya & Tejasvi

Folks, you should certainly know the kind of dedication and passion his (Sharath’s) team has towards the work, which reflects in their genuine desire to deliver the perfect candid moments worth cherishing a lifetime! Sharath has an incredible eye for detail that makes his works exquisite. Indeed his captures are a great combination of candid moments with quality pictures. On the day of the wedding Sharath showed up earlier than planned, which was very kind of him, to capture the moments naturally. Every picture tells us the story and brings back the feeling we had on my sister’s wedding day. Very glad to have chosen Sharath as our photographer and highly recommend him for your BIG day!

Modini & Nishanth

Our wedding pictures captured by Sharath are spectacular, we are so happy!! He made us comfortable right from the beginning. He’s done an amazing job of capturing wonderful moments on our big day, even those we missed. It was easy working with him and his team, and a great experience. The energy and enthusiasm he and the team showed throughout was exceptional. His work clearly reflects his passion. Thanks to Sharath for making our special day even more special! We highly recommend him!!

Rashmi & Kiran

Working with Sharath is an absolute delight! He is extremely talented, a quality and no non-sense photographer who will ensure all the beautiful moments of your wedding are captured very well. He comes with a lot of calm and smiles and that’s extremely important among all the chaos during the wedding! We absolutely love our images and Sharath has been extremely kind in taking in all our inputs. His candid images capture all the emotions. The pictures are so colorful and lets you re-live the moment every time you see them. Choosing Sharath for photography has been, without a spec of doubt, one of the best decisions we have made. You’ll not regret working with him for your wedding. You can simply give him the big bag of responsibility and not worry about it. He will definitely do a brilliant job.

Snigdha

Without a doubt, the best! We had our pre-wedding shoot with Sharath, and it was an amazing experience. Not only was the shoot incredibly fun, but the results were absolutely stunning! He lets you be yourself and captures you in your most authentic form. Totally worth every penny! Thank you so much, Sharath! Highly recommend!

Anusha

I had an amazing experience with Sharath! He was incredibly patient throughout the entire photoshoot, allowing us to be ourselves and capturing the best candid moments effortlessly. The captures feel more like cherished memories rather than just posed shots.

Ritesh

Sharath and his team captured our wedding photos and videos. We had an amazing experience with the whole team. They were very friendly, patient and easy to work with. Especially accommodative because our event was in the very early morning and the whole team was there to capture all the wonderful moments that happened throughout our wedding day. Special thanks to Sharath and Prakash for being there to capture all the moments.


The quality of photos and videos were amazing. Special thanks to Bhanu, Suman for supporting with the videos. Everything came out very naturally and we enjoy and cherish those memories every time we watch the videos.


They have unique style and adapt to our needs effortlessly. They were very professional in the work quality.


I highly recommend them for any photography and video needs for any of your events.

Ranjani

From the very first event to the final farewell, Sharath Padaru and the Truly Yours Weddings team were with us — not just as photographers, but as quiet observers of joy, love, chaos, and all the in-between moments.

They covered every single event of my wedding — with such honesty and enthusiasm. What stood out the most was how effortless it all felt. No staged shots, no pressure to pose, no interrupting the flow. Just real, raw, candid moments — exactly how we wanted it.

They blended into the background and somehow managed to capture everything — stolen glances, spontaneous laughter, tears, hugs, and the tiny moments we didn’t even notice ourselves. Their excitement was so genuine, and it showed in every frame.

When the photos came in, we were blown away. Each one told a story. Our family and friends couldn’t stop appreciating how beautifully and naturally everything was documented.

If you want your wedding story told with heart, honesty, and zero drama — Truly Yours Weddings is exactly who you need. Thank you, Sharath, for capturing us just as we were — joyfully, truthfully, and as truly ourselves.

As a cinematographer myself, I believe a great photograph should do more than just look beautiful—it should make you feel something and tell a story. That’s exactly what Sharath Padaru and the team at Truly Yours Wedding Films delivered for our wedding.

Every photograph has a story to tell. Looking through our wedding album feels like reliving the emotions, moments, and memories of the day all over again. The images are not only visually stunning but are also filled with genuine emotion and meaning.

Sharath and his team were incredibly professional throughout the entire process. They captured everything naturally without causing any disturbance or making us feel like we were constantly in front of a camera. Their presence was calm, unobtrusive, and reassuring, allowing us and our families to enjoy every moment of the wedding.

The wedding film was equally beautiful, capturing the essence of the celebrations in a heartfelt and authentic way. The attention to detail, storytelling, and ability to preserve real emotions truly set their work apart.

What I appreciated most was their ability to document moments rather than manufacture them. The result is a collection of photographs and films that feel timeless, personal, and deeply meaningful.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Sharath Padaru and Truly Yours Wedding Films to any couple looking for wedding photographers and filmmakers who combine professionalism, creativity, and exceptional storytelling. They didn’t just capture our wedding—they preserved memories that we will cherish for a lifetime.

Thank you, Sharath and the entire Truly Yours Wedding Films team, for giving us a beautiful visual legacy of one of the most important days of our lives. Highly recommended!

Madhuri Madakasira

I knew that Sharath would be our wedding photographer even before I spoke to him. Sharath and his team are wonderful and brilliant at what they do. My husband and I are a bit camera shy, but Sharath and team were so patient with us and gave us the best possible wedding pictures. They never forced us to pose and captured our pictures by just letting us be in our zone.
Even the candid wedding video was amazing. It was raw and totally natural, and that’s how we wanted to recall our wedding day. Everyone who has seen their work has appreciated them.
I will HIGHLY recommend Sharath and his team for all your photography needs.
Their work is unique and will never disappoint you.
Thanks Sharath, Prakash, Suman, Aditya, Bhanu and everyone else from the team who gave us a lifetime of memories.  

Anupaa Ramesh

We could not have asked for a more beautiful and heartfelt collection of memories. From their calm professionalism during the hectic moments to the thoughtful way they captured small, intimate details and big emotional gestures, every photo feels genuine and timeless. The images and videos tell our story with warmth, clarity, and a bright sense of delight that brought us to tears when we first saw them. We highly recommend Sharath and his entire team to anyone who wants artful, emotional, and reliably exceptional photography!  

Suriya

When people book photographers for a wedding, you look for their portfolio and when they come to you with the package details, you hope they make you and your partner look good. When we work with the photographers, it initially feels a little impersonal when we take pictures.
When I saw Sharath and the Truly Yours crew do their work, It felt so natural and seamless that our emotions came live in the photos.
Every Photo tells a story and all the photos we got showed some amazing stories woven into a beautiful collection.

Overall, If you want a photographer who will make you feel so comfortable that makes you smile naturally, Sharath and team are the ideal choice.

Nanki Arora

Absolutely adored the work. The team was prompt on their feet to capture all the important moments, especially instances we didn’t realise we would die to look back to. They captured us in our true element without making anyone feel conscious. The team was super sweet as well! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience than this🌟🌟🌟  

Samyuktha Rangaswamy

We could not have asked for a better wedding photographer. From start to finish, they absolutely killed it. The images are stunning but still feel completely natural, without losing the candid moments. They also made a brilliant short film which was super creative, thoughtfully edited and somehow captured both the big emotions and the tiny in-between moments that made the event special. The footage was inclusive of all our family and friends, and didn’t feel like a standard bride/groom template. If you want someone who blends artistry with authenticity, this is your person.  

Rukmani Ramaswamy

Truly yours weddings…Sharath Padru, Suman Hope and team. Hats off to you. It’s exactly a year since my daughter’s wedding took place and I felt I must deeply acknowledge the moments captured by the team. From the very beginning, they made us feel comfortable. 


They captured the moments of four events. They have beautifully and naturally captured the groom and family arriving at the wedding venue right from alighting the train.
The fun and frolic each one had irrespective of age, heartfelt laughter, smiles, tears….can go on and on.....each moment was captured candidly. The team did not disturb or ask anyone to pose. Everything was natural. I could see the team running, bending and taking serious, genuine efforts to capture the moments. They were very patient and friendly.
When we received the hard copies of the albums….it was beauuuutiful. The videos so natural that we re-lived the entire event.

The wedding film was equally stunning and very cute. The entire event summed up with professional cinematic expertise and edited with much care. Watching it felt like re-living the entire celebration again. Their attention to detail, creativity, and dedication are truly exceptional.
Thanks to the team from the bottom of my heart for summing up our joy which we will cherish for years to come. I highly recommend Sharath Padru, Suman Hope and team for any event. May the Divine guide and be with them always in their creativity.
