My small court wedding was captured in a simple and clear way. He was on time and extremely polite. I would highly recommend Nova Photo Works. Burhan was patient and flexible. He captured every moment in the best way.

Details: Bridal portrait • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Candid (captured in the moment) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Outdoors • Digital or online download • My home, venue, etc.

Your wedding was beautiful, and I'm happy I could be there to document it in a way that was meaningful to you. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness!

We had an amazing experience with Burhan as our wedding photographer! He was incredibly communicative and attentive, making sure to capture all the shots we wanted. He scouted the location ahead of time so that he could best make use of the hour we had. He delivered a stunning gallery a few days later. He was professional and accommodating and allowed my 9 year old nephew to be his assistant, which made it all the more fun! Highly recommend!

Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a pleasure to be part of your special day, and I’m thrilled to hear you loved the photos. I’m glad the planning paid off, and your nephew was great company, adding some fun behind-the-scenes moments with his phone photography! I really appreciate the recommendation and wish you all the best in this exciting new chapter.

Burhan shot our wedding ceremony and reception and we were incredibly happy with his work. He worked with us on short notice, was punctual, professional, and very quick getting us proofs and edited photos. Burhan was able to capture many different angles and a ton of pictures without the assistance from a second shooter; it was very impressive. It was an all around great experience and I would highly recommend him for your next event.

Couple of days prior to my father's 90th birthday celebration, the photographer who we had booked to capture his milestone event cancelled his commitment. While this is very unfortunate and heartbreaking, there was a silver lining! We found Burhan (@Nova Phot Works)!! He was truly professional from not only taking great photos during our celebration but also in understanding our situation. He was very accommodating on timing, venue distance, and pricing. He was truly engaged in the family and captured key moments in addition to the typical poses/portraits. He was great to work with and took care of us. We not only a photographer for our future family events but also welcomed him as a member of our extended family. More than highly recommend Burhan for capturing milestone moments for your families.

Details: Family or children's portrait • Candid (captured in the moment) • Outdoors • Digital or online download • My home, venue, etc.

Dear Kashyap!, Thank you so much for your heartfelt review. I am truly honored to have been part of your father's 90th birthday celebration. It was a privilege to capture such a significant milestone for your family. I understand how stressful it must have been when your original photographer canceled, and I’m glad I could step in and meet your expectations. It means a lot to me to hear that you appreciated my professionalism, flexibility, and engagement with your family. Your kind words about feeling like a member of your extended family are deeply touching and inspiring. I look forward to capturing more wonderful moments for your family in the future. Thank you once again for your warm recommendation and trust. Best regards, Burhan Nova Photo Works
