Childhood friends.
Now a full team.
Lite Lens and BSB Films began with two kids who grew up shooting together. 15 years and 600+ weddings later, we're a full team of photographers and cinematographers — based in San Francisco and Chicago, and on a plane to wherever your story is happening.
Two lenses, one team — built on friendship.
We grew up together, started shooting friends' weddings for the love of it, and never really stopped. Lite Lens became the photography; BSB Films became the cinema. Today we're a full crew — so however big the day or however far the destination, the people who fell for this work are still the ones behind the camera.
Planning a destination wedding?

Two friends. One camera to start.
Monty and Bhupinder grew up together and picked up their first cameras the same year — 2010. They spent the next 16 years learning the craft eight thousand miles apart: one built a studio in San Francisco, one shot his way through film sets and 600+ weddings across India. In 2023 they finally worked the same wedding. They haven't stopped since.

The studio eye.
Monty has spent 15 years behind a camera and the last 12 running Lite Lens out of San Francisco — the studio he opened in 2014 and never left.
Before the weddings, there were boardrooms: years of brand and portrait work for teams inside Google and Facebook, where a shot list is a deadline and "good enough" isn’t a phrase anyone uses. That’s where the studio discipline comes from — controlled light, honest skin tones, portraits built to hold up on a wall for forty years, not forty likes.
Brings the calm — the one checking the horizon line while everyone else is crying at the vows.

The cinematic eye.
Bhupinder started the same year as Monty, back home in Punjab, and turned it into 16 years most photographers only watch from the audience: 600+ weddings, music videos, and set work alongside Bollywood actors and some of Punjab’s biggest singers and performers.
That teaches you something a studio can’t — how to catch the one frame in a 300-person baraat, how to shoot a room that won’t slow down for you, how to make a couple forget the camera is even there. He moved to the US 3 years ago, called his oldest friend, and BSB Films found its second home in Chicago.
Brings the motion — the cinematic eye that treats a wedding like a film set.
Story-first
We capture the truth of a moment, not staged perfection — the quiet glance, the unscripted tear. That’s the photo you’ll still feel years from now.
Cinematic
Every frame composed, every film paced like a story. BSB Films brings 15+ years of cinema to the way your day is filmed.
Culturally fluent
Punjabi, Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, Christian, and fusion celebrations — we know the rituals, the timing, and why each moment matters. Nothing gets missed.
The best photo isn’t the one everyone posed for. It’s the one nobody knew we took — the look between a mother and her daughter, the half-second before the tears. That’s the whole job.
