Ahmed did a great job of capturing our engagement party in July. The pictures came out beautiful and the video was fun to watch. He was patient with our families and all of the chaos that comes with big, Indian functions. We had to make some last minute changes due to the weather, but he was accommodating and worked with us to get our couple portraits in. We got our pictures 2 weeks after the event and videos about 6 weeks after. He's prompt with emails -- you'll get a response within 24 hours. If it's something more urgent, texting him is the better option. I would definitely work with him again in the future. read more

Seriously one of the best Wedding photography companies out there. From amazing customer service, incredible photos, videos to top quality work. We have used AA Creations in all of our family's wedding for years now. The staff is great to work with and very pleasant. The Albums are the lastest design and are so memorable your family with remember your wedding like you were there again. They have highlight of the wedding that you can send the link to all your family members so they can catch a glimpse of what was happening at all the events. The crew is based in LA but I like how they do destinations wedding from New York to the Bay to all over. They also have great packages from budget friendly to most extravagant weddings. Hand down they are the best. read more

Ahmed we super quick with his response for service. Great customer care, prices ng and quality of service. He's super talened and made the entire process easy and comfortable. I got a couple of headshot for my new job and he did a fantastic job, better yet he knew about the fact that I needed the pictures back quick and he delivered. Look no further when looking for a photographer. read more

Updated Review- Its been 7 years since I got married, and I STILL HAVE NEVER RECEIVED MY WEDDING VIDEO FROM AHMED. he claims he has tried contacting me, but its as simple as clicking the message button on yelp- NO I HAVE NEVER received any correspondence from Ahmed. TO BE CLEAR- I NEVER RECEIVED MY WEDDING VIDEO. I had 6 other people contact me after reading this with the SAME SITUATION. You will NOT RECEIVE the video of your most special day. Please contact me before trying to hire this guy you will REGRET it for the rest of your life. read more

Ahmed and his team were punctual, courteous and very responsive during the shooting and editing process. I was very impressed with his prompt communication via text and email. All of my questions were answered in a timely manner. He was one of the few vendors that I didn't have to worry about at all. I knew he would show up and get the job done professionally. He really knows what he's doing when working with guests and getting the best shots. As others have mentioned, receiving the end product may take longer than you might expect. Just know that it's well worth it and you can clearly see the passion in Ahmed's work. All good things are worth the wait... Don't hesitate to utilize his services! read more

Ahmed (AA Creation) was the WORST vendor that we hired for our wedding. Please read through this entire review and other similar reviews before hiring him for your wedding. It's been almost a YEAR AND HALF and we still have not received our wedding video. Ahmed provided a scrappy edit of the highlight reel and the long form video a few weeks after our wedding, we provided our comments, and Ahmed kept saying he'll have it done soon, he'll have it done soon and we haven't seen anything in over a year and half. It's so very disappointing as our entire family is waiting to see our video and we don't have anything to share. I've asked for the raw files or even just the scrappy edit as is and Ahmed hasn't responded yet. We regret the day we hired him because he's a chalaak Pakistani man and will take your money and not give you what you duly paid for in full. read more

I hired AA Creation to be my videographer on 21- 22 Sep 201.. However, my husband and I are upset about this since we have yet to hear from Ahmed or get our videos as promised numerous times. People who use him should be aware, you will NOT get your videos back no matter how much you follow up with Ahmed. He only wants a down payment and a payment for shooting the video. He doesn't want the full payment because he won't edit the work. Brides please save your sanity, time and energy to look for another videographer. Ahmed's lack of communication and failure to keep his word is disgusting. I discovered this when I tried to get my wedding video. On 3 Dec 2012, Ahmed had everything he needed to edit our videos. I would like to think I am a dream client. I left everything to Ahmed choice of music, how to edit it, etc. This way he would us his full imagination. I find it hard to tell a videographer with a vision to do my vision when he shot the video to edit in his way. I am very frustrated with the lack of communication from Ahmed. He is very hard to get a hold of. I have to email him multiple times in Oct 2013 and have yet to get a firm date on when we will be receiving edits of our wedding video. Given that the video are almost done since Feb 2013, I don't know why it is still taking so long to complete. I don't understand what kind of business does not respond to emails and how Ahmed does not clear his voicemails, since it's always FULL. At this point, I feel that he is avoiding me because he could not have booked clients for summer events without them emailing him or calling him. If anyone wants to use AA Creation to shoot their wedding, I suggest that you are really careful and go with someone else. I also suggest that if you do want them, pay them everything once the final product is delivered. read more

PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING! I have been waiting a long time to write this because I was hoping Ahmed and Mehreen would do something to fix the situation. I got married almost 3 years ago, in 2012. My photos and video were both HORRIBLE quality and angles. I can't even begin to explain how upset and disappointed I was with this photographer. We used them for our wedding and reception. I had seen some of their work for people's weddings and on their website. But maybe that is only if you get the most expensive package. I felt very discriminated against just because I did not get the highest level package that they offer. Here are some the reasons I had a horrible experience: -worst picture quality, my mehndi (henna night) pictures ,which were done by an amateur, turned out 10 times better -Reception photos were VERY bright, while wedding photos were way too dark -no artistic touches to wedding pictures at all (poses, lighting, background, etc.) -NEVER returns phone calls/emails/texts -Ahmed and Mehreen would blame each other for a mistake and I would be bounced from one person to the other -On my contract it stated 'cinema' style videography. When the video came back and was definitely NOT cinema style, I was told by Mehreen and Ahmed that this was a mistake and that they did not even bring the lens with them! The whole time I was under the impression that I was getting what was on the contract. Now they said they would make me a highlights video to make up for my 'disappointment'. Never received it and as of today, have not gotten a response to my numerous texts and phone calls about this. Also was told that I could have an event photographed for free. To be honest, I'd rather just pay someone else than have them photograph anything for me again, free or not. These promises meant nothing if they weren't actually going to do anything about it. I don't even want anything they make for me anymore because it's probably going to be done poorly anyway. If you want your wedding photos and video to be hidden away in some dark corner of your garage, please go with AA Creations. I've had to do over 10 hours of self-editing just to get some decent pictures to send to family and friends. I've considered sending my video to someone else to redo if they can but it'll cost me a lot. Don't really know what else to do except spread the word that these people are so unorganized and unprofessional. Will be telling all of my family and friends in California, please tell yours as well. read more

Just got the wedding photos - they DO NOT disappoint. It is not like there are only 2-3 really amazing/classic shots. It is more like 25 (and another 30-40 really, really good shots). The wedding was super stressful because it was delayed by an hour and a half due to our decorator. Looking back at the photos, we were so happy to see our family smiling, dancing, and really having a good time despite the delay. Ahmed REALLY went way beyond what was necessary to take amazing pictures (he captured all of the big stuff and even some tender moments that you would really have to look for) and he got the photos to us surprisingly quickly considering how busy he has been. As far as choosing a wedding photographer, this is seriously a no-brainer, regardless of what kind of ceremony you are having (American, Indian, or other). Go with AA Creations for excellent customer service, even better photographs, and very reasonable rates considering the quality of the photos. Everyone who has seen the photos is truly impressed (seriously look at the blog to judge for yourself). In short, I couldn't be happier with our decision to go with AA Creations. Shop around, get the names of other people and ask to see their work product (like we did). If you are in or around the OC area, I can assure you that in the end you will find that AA Creations is the best overall package. read more

Update: While my review is still reflective of my experience back in 2013 with AAcreation, I'd like to say that since then the business has reached out and apologized to me for that, which I appreciate. read more

My family and I hired AAcreation to cover my wedding events last Summer. AAcreation shot my wedding from start to finish. We hired them for three events to cover photography and video of my traditional Pakistani Muslim wedding, they covered my Nikah (ceremony), Mehndi (henna party) and Shaadi (wedding reception) at various locations all over LA from Pasadena to the Sheraton Disneyland Resort. Ahmed and his team were phenomenal. This man is THOROUGH, he knows what he's doing and he does it well. We had a meeting before the wedding to go over the logistics, timing, and every last detail that needed to be covered. It takes a lot for someone as organized as me to be relaxed in a high stress situation, especially my own wedding, but the videography and photography was one thing I did not have to worry about at any of my events. Ahmed and his team were always on-time to my events if not a half hour early most of the time. Everyone on his staff was extremely friendly and pleasant to work with. They are very prompt at returning e-mails and phone calls, even after-hours. To sum it up they are very professional and good at what they do. Also, a note to orthodox Muslim brides who wear Hijab or have their reception with males and females seated separately, AAcreation is the right company for you. I was provided with male and female photographers and videographers to respectfully cover all of my events, and even down to the editing of my video and images was done by females. It was such a comfort to work with a company that understands your culture, and respects your beliefs and works with you in a way that is right for your needs. No two weddings are the same and I really feel AAcreation went out of their way to accommodate me for my wishes and I did not have to compromise the way I wanted to have my event or the quality of photography and videography coverage to do so. For that I am very grateful and AAcreation comes highly recommended by me. They were very quick at getting me back my images and wedding DVD's and I feel like I'm reliving my wedding every time I look at the images. Thank you Ahmed and Mehreen, and the rest of AAcreation's team for covering my wedding events, it was truly a pleasure, and hiring you was one of the best decisions we made. read more

My wife and I hired Ahmed and his team over 7 years ago as photo/videographers for our wedding. We've kept in touch ever since and used him for family photoshoots and birthday parties. Everyone we've referred him to has also walked away a happy customer. They're talented professionals who take pride in what they do. The quality of their work is excellent and they always make clients feel comfortable, which makes each session relaxing and enjoyable. If you're in the market for a photographer (regardless of the event) then sign up with AAcreation- you won't be disappointed. read more

I was referred to Aacreation by a friend who hired Ahmed a few years ago for her child's birthday, then again for her sisters wedding. She went on and on about how wonderful the entire team is, how much they care and respect they show to every client. Quality of photos was amazing, etc. I am happy to say she was 1000% right!! I am beyond pleased with the quality of my photos. My family and I hired AAcreation for my son's wedding and let me tell you, this man went above and beyond. I was promised 3-4 weeks delivery but I received everything within 2.5 weeks. What service. Best thing of all, they communicated with my family and I the entire time via group message. Im totally impressed with this company. I promise, you will not be disappointed if you hire AA for your next event. They are prompt, professional, and so much fun to work with. I highly recommend!! Thanks AAcreation team. read more

We used AAcreation for our Indian wedding a year ago. Ahmed and his team did an absolutely amazing job. From the first meeting, Ahmed was relaxed, accommodating and very personable. My husband dislikes being in pictures and Ahmed really helped him enjoy the engagement photo shoot and all the wedding and reception pictures. Ahmed worked with our budget and we were able to get an Engagement Photo Shoot, website, Canvas Prints, Couple Album, Parent Albums and 9 hours of photography along with all the amazing digital copies for a very competitive price. He did everything in a timely manner and was always available through email and phone with all my last minute questions. My favorite was the website he made for us, we got SO many compliments on it! read more

My wife and I used AAcreation for both our engagement photos as well as our wedding and they did an absolutely amazing job. Ahmed is an absolute pleasure to work with, as well as being a very gifted photographer with a great eye for composition, lighting and being able to capture a pure honest moment. Weddings are a lot of stress and he made the process really easy. Knowing that they photography and videography were in good hands took a load off. The wedding itself comes and goes in a blur, but having amazing photographs and video of the event last a lifetime. I would highly recommend Ahmed and his team, as you will get amazing results while working with a genuinely wonderful person. read more

Really professional! Really talented and friendly photographer. Definitely going to work with again!

I didn't want to resort to posting on Yelp first but I'd like someone from this company to call me about getting my wedding video. My wedding was 9 months ago and Ahmed keep saying he's "on a long vacation" whenever I ask about my video. 9 freakin months ago!!!! I've run out of patience. He took all my money and won't respond to any of my calls, texts, emails. Please give me my money back or give me my video. This was supposed to be a joyous occasion for my husband I and to watch our video. Wedding are not cheap and I've held up my end of the bargain. read more

Ahmed, I sit here, crying. You have stolen my precious memories. You have extorted thousands of dollars, holding my memories hostage. It is 2 years later and I only have your lies. I have no pictures from my entire wedding. My house has no pictures up because I've been waiting. I see your Instagram and you have pictures posted from my wedding--I cannot even have my own pictures! I can't have my video! Nothing! I planned for a year for those events! You play with people's hearts and take advantage. You are a father and one day when your baby grows up and it's her big day, think of all of us who you have taken advantage of. Think of all the fathers, mothers, brides and grooms you have stolen these moments from. You're a great liar. So many stories you are capable of coming up with to dodge phone calls. Amazing. Never ever work with this company. read more

Used him for our wedding a while ago and was nothing but disappointment. We have so many pics and 80% of them are not quality pics. Most of them are just random weird pics and no professional pics taken. None of my family members have liked the quality of pics as well. Our iphones have taken similar if not better pics in most moments during the wedding. For a business to succeed and get a referral, there has to be something above and beyond but we felt there was nothing close to going the extra mile...both of us are very upset and I regret the whole thing...would advise anyone to pay extra and hire someone else more professional. Now that I have read all the other reviews...would agree with most and say definitely not a good vendor. read more

This is my favorite photo and video vendor. I use them for personal photography and for my businesses needs as they are always available on short notice. Ahmed too pics for my wedding and gave a free engament session so we are more comfortable behind the camera. Great business for you business and product pictures. read more

We used Ahmed for my sisters wedding & my daughters birthday party. He was very creative with his work & did an amazing job each time. He was friendly, patient and easy to work with. I would definitely use him again & recommend him to any friends. read more

My fiance and I did an engagement shoot with AAcreation. We also hired him for our wedding in the future because we both liked his portfolio on his website. I was very doubtful of the results of the engagement shoot because i am no 'model' and I am not photogenic at all. When meeting Ahmed for the photoshoot he was very kind and relaxed. I was instantly comfortable and most of the photoshoot my fiance and I were having fun and laughing. The pictures came out absolutely fantastic. They are very artistic and elegant photos, similar to the work you see on his blog. I highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a wedding photographer. This is a safe choice. You will not be dissapointed read more

My husband and I hired aacreations for our engagement shoot and wedding. We are so glad we hired them! The team was easy to work with as they were flexible, friendly,and very patient with our demands lol. It's very important to hire a photographer that will capture every detail of ur wedding, details you wouldn't think yourself and that's what this team did! Thanks a million for everything :) read more

Ahmed "Moose" is highly recommended! We had him shoot our Walima in Pleasant Hill, CA five months back and he did not disappoint! Our photos came out great. He was easy to work with -- he used the the natural beauty around the community center and made it work like magic. He was timely, professional, and respectful -- he even offered us a female photographer for the ladies hall because of the separated event. I highly recommend him! read more

I hired AA Creation to shoot my engagement and 2 of my wedding events and would definitely recommend Ahmed and his team to anyone looking for a reliable and accommodating photographer/ videographer! -- Ahmed and his team are a professional and reliable, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone I know! Since I was looking for a photographer to shoot my wedding, I spent a lot of time reading review after review to find the perfect fit. AA Creation especially stood out to me due to their familiarity with Pakistani/ Muslim weddings and traditions - my only hesitation was some of the negative reviews that I stumbled upon while researching them. Photographs are one of the few things that remain after life events like these ones, and I wanted to make sure I had good ones, and that I actually received them (especially after a bad experience with another company who never sent me my engagement shots!). After reaching out to some of AA Creation's older clients, and some of my contacts who had used him, every single person I spoke with assured me that I would get my pictures in a timely fashion and that they highly recommended Ahmed and his team. I decided to move forward with Ahmed and it's a decision I definitely am happy I made. Not only was Ahmed accommodating, easy to work with, transparent, and personable, but he always went out of his way to make all of my wedding events stress free. He did a great job reaching out beforehand to make sure everything was on track, as well as coordinating with my sister throughout the events to make sure all of the immediate family were captured in our photos and video, and to ensure that he captured all of the important moments in each event. He showed up on time (early) to every event and was ready to go before we even started. Most importantly, I received constant updates on the status of my photos/video and had access to all of my videos and +1000 of my pictures within 2-3 months of my events -- as promised. Ahmed also provided a highlight reel featuring all of my events which was an awesome thing to be able to send to family so they could have a peek of what happened during the wedding. Working with Ahmed was one of the best decisions I made during my wedding because it was one less thing I had to worry about :) read more

Good folks. Good work. Happy with the results. Pictures came out great. Video took a little long but it's okay.

Ahmed is the most professional photographer I have ever had the pleasure of working with. His work is absolutely BEAUTIFUL & STUNNING!! He can literally make any image you have in your mind a reality. Ahmed & his whole team not only take amazing photos, but has an eye for creativity, something that sets them apart from the average photographers. Our pictures came out wonderful and will definitely recommend him HIRE HIM !!! He is the best !!! read more

AAcreation - Videographers Near Me

See all

We booked AA creation for our wedding and couldn't be more happier. Our video and photography came out with amazing quality. Our family members and us can't stop watching and reviewing our videos. Highly recommend for wedding or any events that need videography and photography! read more

The photo album was beautifully made, and told a story of our wedding, as opposed to just capturing pictures. The Photo/Video development process was easy to follow, well-managed, and streamlined. Ahmed was very responsive and easy to get in touch with. His team arrived on time at the wedding venue as well!! Thanks, Ahmed, for all your help! read more

Ahmed is an amazing photograper and has taken a few awsome pictures for my family and for our daycare business. We read some of the negative reviews on yelp but still decide to not judge and call him. He under promises and over delivers to make up for the bad rewiews in 2013/2014 while he was going through personal problems. He is our offical family photographer. read more

Had a great time. They have a very comfortable environment. Took some quality shots. My whole family was delighted by their photography.

How can I rate higher than 5 stars?! I don't know why anyone would write anything other than 5 star reviews! I just recently had my wedding this past May, and I've always thought of having a great photographer as the one of the most important parts of the wedding, besides having the perfect dress, jewelry hair etc. The Photographs are what stays and augments your memory of that special day. I cannot be happier that my husband reached out to AAcreation Photography. They were beyond great. The photographer immediately made me and my husband feel comfortable as our pictures were being taken. He had an eye for different backgrounds and we were able to take both traditional and modern type pictures for our photoshoot before the reception. During the reception he successfully took all the important shots and a single moment wasn't missed out. We received our pictures barely a month later, which was awesome! From what I hear, other photographers can take more than 6 months getting back to the couple. He was very professional and worked to get everything out on a very timely manner. I would definitely recommend AAcreations to anyone and everyone looking for a great photographer who really knows what he's doing! -MS read more

I've had my eye on these guys to do my wedding photos for the last 5+ years. At the time, I didn't know who I'd be marrying, but I knew when the big day came I wanted AAcreation to do the photography! Flash forward 5 years later, my wife and I were married last month - and yes, AAcreation delivered! Their style and touch for photography is just unmatched. It's no wonder you see reviews on here from others who are out of the area - they're nationally recognized for their work and it shows. We couldn't be happier with our photos from all the many events they covered for us. Thanks Ahmed and your team for helping us capture our memories for a lifetime. read more

I had a great experience with Ahmad, he is an unbelievable photographer! I totally recommend Ahmad and his team :) read more

I forgot to mention in my review that if anyone decides to hire AA Creation, please clearly state deadlines in your contract(deadline for when you expect your videos and pictures). Please be careful about this because the contract does not actually include a date and it might be something that you have to add yourself to the contract. Please read the contract properly and add anything that you find missing in it, including dates for when you expect your things delivered. Also please keep a copy of the contract, and copies of all your communication with AA Creation(texts, emails, phone call records). read more

Dearest Ahmed, The way you and your team captured our wedding events left both of us speechless. The clarity, the sound, and the execution took us back to the most special day in both of our lives. You and your team did such an amazing job in including all of the special moments, the small talk during the events, and of course, including all of the family and friends who we love most. During the festivities, it is expected to be overwhelmed and things often get forgotten. But your hard work allowed us to go back in time and enjoy our wedding all over again. The way the speeches were woven into the video fit perfectly and the mix of eastern and western music made the flow flawless. You and your team caught moments of the wedding that would have been forgotten or overlooked, and for that we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. The length was perfect, and we cannot wait to share the video and pictures with our family and friends. Thank you again for all of your efforts, your time, and your patience during our wedding festivities. A wedding comes once in a lifetime and memories from such a special day that can be saved mean the world to us. Thank you to you and the team Ahmed. Take care and keep in touch. Minhaal and Sabrina read more

I had a last minute project over the long weekend and Ahmed saved the day. I needed to have a video to put together and I can not say how professional Ahmed was with working within my time constraint. He worked on my feedback and delivered a very professional video that was heart warming and got the message I needed across. I would definitely use him in the future and would recommend him for future projects! read more

Upon recommendation, I used AA Creation for multiple video projects. The projects required video shoots of multiple individuals and families at various locations. Ahmed accommodated each individual's schedule and met us at our desired locations for the video shoot. He went back and forth with us for the edits, during business hours as well as at late hours of the night. At the end, he delivered a beautiful product - watched and appreciated by hundreds of people. Thank you, Ahmed, for your dedication. read more

When we were getting married in February, multiple friends recommended Ahmed to us. We decided to ask him to do be our photographer for wedding and engagement photo shoot. Ahmed was very helpful and responsive throughout our planning. He helped us choose a location for our engagement photo shoot and made it a very enjoyable and fun event for us. The day of the wedding, our couple photo shoot began at a later time than we intended, but he was understanding and stayed for as long as we needed. He brought a team of experienced photographers to ensure every part of the event is captured, in photos and video. We received our pictures and videos within 2 to 4 weeks after the events (with modifications according to our feedback) and couldn't be happier with them! We look forward to working with him again in the future and would 100 percent recommend AACreation Photography to anyone else searching for a professional photographer. read more
