e best backdrops and photo opportunities on-the-spot. He maintained a positive, friendly, and encouraging attitude, even as we all had to improvise. His lighting and camera gear were top notch, even providing high quality photos in overcast and rainy weather. After our big day, he was very communicative and made it easy to share the photos. He provided photo editing services that only amplified the natural beauty of the setting and the pictures. I would highly recommend working with him for any of your special moments.

the ceremony and reception, but also provided an engagement photoshoot. Mahdi was able to capture those special an authentic moments that show the love my wife and I have for each other.

To say Mahdi is amazing would be an understatement.Mahdi and Shima were so personable and wonderful to work with. Mahdi was hands down one of the best decisions we made around our...

wedding. My husband and I were both nervous to take photos professionally as we hadn't done so before. Our first time meeting Mahdi was during our engagement sessions and right away he made us feel comfortable. Mahdi is professional, yet fun, easy going, and absolutely amazing at his job. During our wedding day, Mahdi hired a really great second shooter for us. She complimented his work and she took really great photos. Overall, if you're wondering if you should reach out to Mahdi, do yourself a favor and just have a meeting! You won't regret working with him. When we got our photos back, we could not stop looking through them. They were so beautiful and we can not wait to have these to remember such a special day. We also opted for the album and are so grateful that we did. Thank you Mahdi for capturing our day so perfectly!

Mahdi was absolutely amazing as our wedding day photographer! . He was courteous, personable and friendly to all our family, bridal party and guests. We loved Mahdi right away fr...

om the time we met him. He was very friendly, receptive to our ideas, personable, accommodating and incredibly talented. On the day of our wedding, we were late and that did not seem to faze him at all. He just went with the flow, and gave very good directions to pose for the perfect picture. We have come across some photographers who are incredible rude and impatient with the crowd. Mahdi, certainly was the polar opposite of that. I particularly love his easy going demeanor. Our kids loved him as well. He was funny, always ready to do what we requested and super-efficient. We received our sneak-peak wedding pictures the very next day which totally surprised us. We got really lucky in finding such a good photographer as Mahdi who was such a pleasure to work with. When you think about making beautiful future memories, I would highly recommend Mahdi for any of yo

Fun, professional, and unique photos! Mahdi is the best photographer you could ever choose, book him! The photos he takes are flawless, creative, and stunning. He has an incredible...

eye and a knack for taking amazing candids of even the most camera-shy person. But the real reason we are obsessed with Mahdi, and will be going to him for all our future photography needs, is how wonderful he is to work with. His professional, easy-going nature is so calming through the stress of wedding planning. He is hard-working, very reassuring, easy to talk to, flexible, and dedicated to his clients. Also, we received all of our photos shortly after our wedding which was a nice touch! We are so glad we went with him and we can’t recommend Mahdi enough!! Mahdi, thank you so much for the hard work and care you put into our wedding. We look forward to working with you again in the future!

Professional, quality photographer that made photos fun and easy Hiring Mahdi and Shima was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Mahdi and Shima were a phenomenal ...

team and captured our wedding in the most perfect light. Our pictures turned out better than we could have ever hoped and I would recommend them for every wedding/engagement (they did both for us). Reasons why we love them-- 1) The pictures they take are top notch. The quality and style is unrivaled 2) Their style of capturing the wedding is authentic. Mahdi and Shima do a great job of capturing the "in between" moments that really tell the story of the day. Of course they include the standard family and bridal party pictures, but so many of the pictures really capture the vibe of the day. 3) Their teamwork and ability to help lead you through the flow of the day are second to none. On the day of the wedding it felt hectic and I wasn't 100% sure where I should have been or what I should have been doing at any given moment. Mahdi and Shima helped us with our schedule and walked us through the entire day effortlessly. This was great because I never had to worry about where I had to be next 4) They are just great people will incredible talent. Right off the bat you could tell that they love what they do and they love to do it together. Mahdi and Shima exceeded our expectations Would highly, highly recommend!
