About Based On A True Story - Wedding Photographers,  Bellandur Bangalore

We are Manas & Neetika, best friends (man and wife, actually) who look beyond the glitz and glamour of the big fat Indian wedding and capture its true story instead. We don't intend to make your wedding look like the perfect love story. Instead, we appreciate the quirks, embrace the imperfections, accept the chaos and focus on real, unstaged moments which, even if not pretty at times, remain fresh and relevant even 50 years down the line. The question now is, can you handle the truth? :)

Manas & Neetika are truly friends behind cameras. The wedding is captured with the notion that they are your best friends who want to give you the best memories. In this competitive world of wedding journalism, these highly technical folks make it to the best in class at a pocket friendly price. (Best of both worlds). Trusted them from the time we first spoke to them and never had to doubt these friends about their professionalism.

Manas and Neetika know how to take candid photographs which are actually candid by melding into the event . This makes photographs so natural and also humorous at times. In a world dominated with videography they supercede it with amazing photography.

So many 5 star reviews would normally make you suspicious, but Manas and Neetika really are 5 star team. When we were looking for wedding photographers, we wanted someone who would be quick to capture the capture the expressions and smiles of our rater reticent south indian family. We were too shy to pose lot and not really interested in 'grammable moments either. From the 1st conversation I think Neetika and Manas understood that. Our wedding albums have everything captured right - the tears when the taali was tied, the joy of relatives meeting, the absolute bustle and blur of colours that our weddings are. They even caught the moments when we the couple were giving each other tired looks from when it felt like ceremony just wouldn't end. When we look back at them, me and hubby are easily transported back to the day, casual observers ouselves but still in the midst of the maddness of the day. Their team is unobtrusive, they were very polite, but still managed to elbow out all the eager uncles vying to be front and centre trying to take photos from their phones. For all our older relatives who still wanted to take posed group photos, they obliged. It took us around 2 months to get the album after the wedding. They worked on all our requests - I'm sure our video was edited and changed at least 4 times. Neetika and Manas are like your friends before the wedding and then they are your friends during and after. Too bad I'm happily married, otherwise I'd hire them for my next one :)

We knew we wanted them clearly. And that decision was just right. They are invisible to us during the wedding and they just capture the quirky moments perfectly ! Love them both for their warmth and comfort. Kudos to the Duo. Thank you so much.Source

Amazing, AMAZING shots. 950+ photos, 950+ stories. Transports us back to that day, we were just gazing at almost every photo. Lovely stuff guys. Thank you for being almost invisible at the ceremonies, professional and for giving some hope to this word called ‘Candid’. Thank you for being amongst us at the wedding. Cheers Manas and Neetika 👊🏽🍻

Manas and Neetika were a dream come true! We're both from communications and marketing backgrounds, so we searched high and low for authentic, funny, candid wedding photographers who understood the heart of an event like a wedding, that marks the beginning of a life together. In Manas and Neetika we found more than just wedding photographers - we found friends that we still hope come around for a meal soon! We were so comfortable with them from the first Skype call, right down to writing this testimonial - and their photography speaks for itself! If you want photos of your wedding that capture the heart of you both ('cause you suck at posing), and your family members, if you want to remember the little moments, the in-betweens - Manas and Neetika are your best bet ever! Trust us, you won't regret it! We can never thank them enough <3
