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.

Burhan accommodated our schedule of events that we had planned and took great photos of us and our families. You can tell by the photos he's a true professional. We're very happy with the photos he took.

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.
