There is a saying that a picture is worth a 1000 words. I love to capture the essence of the event. I just don't take pictures to collect a pay check, I love what I do and I have pride at my work. I want my clients to hire me for their future events and refer me to their friends and family because they love my work. Photos are all about capturing that perfect moment. And whether it's a Wedding, Birthday, baby shower, an anniversary or simply photos of your newborn, its moments like those which can be relived over and over. My passion as natural photographer, drives me to focus on images that are "in the moment", natural, and candid. In partnership with Wahida Jamal, our collaborative experience are both creative and detail oriented. Most of the time I only use 'iPhoto' or 'Lightroom' to edit the pictures. I use the photoshop only if there is a special request by the client.
I love what I do, the most amazing part of my job is how different every job is. I go to different locations, different functions. I meet different people and experience wide variety of cultures. I have been to many countries and been exposed to many cultures, but I still experience something new all the time. I like to be open minded and work with the client to make sure their special day, special event stays special.

Fahim is well worth every penny, dont pass this photographer up, he is amazing!
We had our wedding on October 13th. Fahim showed up early as promised and did a great job observing who was who and who was most important to my bride and I before beginning.
Throughout the wedding, Fahim was extremely mobile, engaged and even gave direction to get some great photos. He stayed throughout the entirety of the wedding and made everyone feel very comfortable with his presence.
About a week after the wedding, Fahim sent us the link with photos to review. 4 weeks after the wedding, we had our amazing photo album which goes above our expectations... huge, full page pictures and great quality, hard cover and quote on back!
You did an amazing job and we can tell you put thought into the selection of pictures and flow of the book to "tell a story". We appreciate you being so professional, communicative and over all quality of work is amazing. I'll be sure to recommend you to people in my network! Thank you Fahim!!

Wow I was so impressed with him. And I definitely was a bridezilla. But he made life so much easier during the chaos. He knew all the right angles and poses I should take make sure all the right moments were captured. I had 4 different places that I wanted to take pictures and he was there before I got there and ready to go. When everything else was going crazy he made it easy. And a great price for his great service. Would definitely recommend for any bride that wants everything that's important to be captured and to be captured the right way and not have to stress about it I would definitely hire him.

Fahim was awesome! He did an amazing job capturing our wedding party photos. Communication was always a breeze from start to finish. He was both friendly and professional. Our guests loved him. He was great with staging our photos and made sure to get all the portraits we wanted. He edited the photos and got them back to us promptly. He included a very lovely photo book, DVD and USB. His cost was very reasonable considering the high level of quality. I absolutely recommend him as a photographer for your wedding or any event!
