Get to know us
Sidenote Creative is a photography duo based in Bangalore, founded by Aaron Stevens and Diya Pais—two friends who turned their shared passion into a full-time visual storytelling studio.
We specialize in capturing life's meaningful moments and beautiful details—whether it’s a wedding, an intimate engagement, a striking portrait, a product that deserves the spotlight, or the joy of capturing the fleeting moments of your baby - human or furry. Our approach is rooted in authenticity, artistry, and a deep respect for the stories we’re trusted to tell.
We met while studying BA in Visual Communication at St. Joseph’s College, and our journey has been creatively aligned ever since. Diya went on to pursue her Master’s at Srishti Manipal, honing a unique aesthetic that blends design thinking with fine-art sensibilities.
Though based in Bangalore, we're always excited to travel—whether it’s a destination wedding or a cross-country creative project.
At Sidenote Creative, we believe that the best stories often unfold in the details—the quiet in-between moments, the unposed glances, the light that falls just right. That’s the magic we aim to capture.
Our mission
At Sidenote Creative, our mission is to craft honest, artful, and emotionally resonant visual stories. Whether through weddings, portraits, products, babies, or pets, we aim to preserve the beauty in real moments—capturing the fleeting, the tender, and the joyful with sensitivity and soul.
Our vision
We envision Sidenote Creative as a storytelling studio that transcends trends—celebrated for its warmth, creativity, and genuine connection with every subject. We strive to become a trusted name in visual storytelling across India and beyond, known not just for beautiful imagery, but for the care, intention, and artistry behind every frame. That's why we take a lot of time and care in getting to know our clients from the moment they reach out to us and ask for our help.
