"Working with Akbar was genuinely easy and I don't say that lightly. He came in ready to collaborate, took direction well without ever losing his own eye, and just got it. The couple was so comfortable with him, and the day ran so smoothly since he was always timely and communicative to me, the planner, and even the other vendors. And for as detail-heavy as that wedding was, he adapted without missing a beat and the photos speak for themselves! Can't recommend him enough!"

“He put us at ease and made it clear that he cared deeply about capturing the beauty of our wedding day…His photos were everything we hoped for and exceeded our expectations.”

"Akbar brings an incredible level of detail and intentionality to his work, paired with a calm, grounded energy that truly elevates everyone around him—both clients and the vendor team. He collaborates seamlessly while also taking thoughtful initiative, approaching each moment with an artful, creative eye that feels both refined and effortless."

“His ability to understand our personalities, style, and culture translated into photographs that reflected the essence of each event.”

"It is truly such a pleasure working and collaborating with Akbar on all kinds of events. Not only is he a creative genius in his own right, taking and creating gorgeous photos, he is thoughtful and intentional in his approach with clients and the planner. He asks engaging questions and listens to what a client and/or a planner wants to achieve with photos, and then he determines the best approach to making that happen. Akbar is also a natural at making his subjects feel comfortable for photos, whether that is gently directing them on where to stand and what to do or making them laugh or tell them a story that will put them at ease. That is when he captures the perfect shot."

“AKBAR IS MORE THAN A PHOTOGRAPHER: HE IS AN ARTIST, A WEDDING GURU,
AND A TRUE FRIEND.”
