Morteza Photogrphy

Let me start my review that due to certain unfortunate events, we were not able to work with Morteza. However I want to commend the ease of communication and booking the task with him. I did book him for his impressive photography skills and paid the deposit, however couldn’t go though due to some unfortunate events. Morteza was very understanding and he did refund me the deposit immediately. Morteza is very professional and I hope to work with him soon.

Morteza Safataj Photography Did a fantastic job! With Covid concerns we made the choice to have a micro wedding at home, but we still wanted to capture the moment in a beautiful way. Morteza made that happen. He came a bit before the ceremony and caught getting ready moments on both sides. He managed to capture both candid and staged moments throughout the ceremony and small reception. He was efficient, professional, while helping direct us to catch the best light, set up family shots, and be present for our first dance, cake cutting, and laughs. He has an eye for light and added in some artful photos (through windows, taken off reflections in mirror, low perspective) that were unique and beautiful additions to traditional wedding photos. His end product was exactly as he had said. He delivered close to 300 photos in a link within 2 weeks. Other than personal preference for looking one way or the other, every one is a great photo. I love that we have a link that we can return to and share photos from. Morteza was there for each moment, and managed to do so without being intrusive. Really the only critique, is that the edited photos may have been edited in terms of photographer knowledge of exposure / light etc, but there were many beautiful pictures that had peripheral objects, such as a purse or a stray object that could have easily been cropped out - transforming the picture from good to great. That being said, because he shared the link of digital photos, we were able to go in and make those edits ourselves. When we have the opportunity to have our “official reception” with all our friends and family with us who couldn’t be there for our small ceremony, we will certainly be contacting him to ask him to capture the next chapter!

Morteza is such an amazing photographer. I hired him last minute when my other photographer bailed just a few days before my wedding and I’m so glad that he was there. He was energetic, even with it being outside and 95 degrees. So many people complimented his ability to keep things running smoothly and quickly. Best experience I’ve ever had with a photographer!! Thank you so much Morteza!

Had an excellent experience with Morteza. He was responsive and able to adjust to some last minute changes in our wedding plans, was punctual, and very professional in his work. He had a vision of what he needed to do to meet our needs, but was responsive and collaborative to our wants and ideas. We can’t wait to see the photos, but I’m confident they will be great. Highly recommend!

Morteza was punctual and on time at the session! He was open to our suggestions and willing to explore his photography skills during our photo session. We really enjoyed having him take our engagement pictures and would definitely recommend him!
