Working with Usman was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. He made the entire process so easy and stress-free! From the initial booking to the final delivery of our photos, communication was seamless. On the day of the shoot, he immediately put us at ease with his warm, relaxed approach and clear direction. The results speak for themselves. We are absolutely thrilled with our photos!! The lighting, composition, and attention to detail are stunning. I sent Usman a mood board of photos I was looking to capture and he did a great job of replicating the same essence. Usman has a real gift for capturing genuine moments and emotions, and every single shot feels polished and professional. We couldn't have asked for a better experience! If you're looking for a photographer who is talented, easy to work with, and truly cares about delivering beautiful work, look no further! We'll definitely be recommending Usman to anyone! read more

We had a great experience working with Usman! We hired him for our wedding reception a few months ago, and would absolutely recommend him to anyone getting married! Prior to the event, I had made it clear that although we wanted some couple photos, both me and my husband aren't the most comfortable with long photoshoots with posed photos, and that during the reception we wanted to feel fully present and not interrupted for any photos. He delivered spectacularly on both requests! We did a short photoshoot on a beach near our venue in Mill Valley and I genuinely love every photo from that. During the reception, he was excellent at blending into the background, capturing everything and being easy to flag down if I wanted any group photos. I absolutely loved how the photos turned out, especially the candids. The colour grading of the photos were also beautiful and exactly what I was looking for! read more

Usman was our favorite wedding vendor to work with! He was professional, captured amazing content, and delivered beautifully edited photos for us to remember the most important day in our lives. In particular, we appreciated how Usman was very responsive and communicative leading up to the wedding, guided the bride and groom with poses or suggestions during the photoshoots, and worked well with other vendors like our planner and videographer. Thanks to Usman for his amazing photography work, and we highly recommend him for engagement and wedding photography! read more

We worked with Usman for a two day wedding in Sacramento in 2023. It was an absolute delight to be able to work with him and his team. Our parents, family, friends, and I absolutely loved working with Usman because he catered the pictures to our style, likings, and culture, and captured candid shots of people having a good time. Even the the shots that he asked us to pose for felt natural, personalized, and comfortable. Most importantly, he was also very good at adapting to things that were not planned in the schedule. One of the things we loved most was the fact that he printed photos of elderly guests and gave it to them right away. Since elderly members don't always have phones, this was his way of making them feel immediately included. Usman brings a lot of these thoughtful and considerate touches which we had not even thought to ask. Additionally, we can confidently vouch for how professional, prepared, and punctual Usman is. On the wedding day, Usman and his team were ready ahead of time and we consistently ran ahead of schedule. He was also very creative with making the most of the venues we were at and capturing details related to the decor, food, and our attires. We could not have asked for a better wedding photographer and videographer. We highly highly recommend that you choose Usman to be a part of your big day read more

From the Bride: The one thing we asked Usman, is to capture candid pictures. We are not too fond of pictures that you have to pose for. Our pictures are amazing and we got in back in 5 weeks after our wedding!! He took so many great memorable photos. The pictures came back with vivid colors and he caught the apex of each moment. We are having a difficult time picking ones that we would like to print and display in our home. He was easy to work with. I would definitely recommend him to be a part of your special day. You will not be disappointed. From the Groom: I agree. read more

Husband and I booked Usman for a city hall ceremony. Usman returned my call quickly and guided me through the process. On the day of our wedding, he showed up on time and helped us check in and signed the documentation to be our witness. The photoshoots in city hall was a nice and easy process, with Usman explaining poses and shots we liked. He was professional and accommodating. I would highly recommend Usman for anyone looking for a city hall wedding; he knows the building well and got us some really great photos that we will cherish forever. read more

We are extremely happy with the services all around provided by Usman for our wedding at the SF city hall. Prior to the wedding, he gave us different options of where we could shoot and provided sample photos for each location. As it got closer, he provided us with estimated time frames for each location and when we should be done, so we could make reservations. We originally wanted pictures at Muir Woods, but he recommended a location that looked just like it but with no one around. There were a few things we were looking for and he exceeded our expectations. The main things were of course quality, responsiveness, and most important the experience. We could tell he has done many city hall pictures before based on the time frames he told us to reserve, knowing exactly where to go for great pictures, and even helped us with the whole check in process for the certificate and ceremony (which could've been very stressful had he not been there to help us). It was busy the day of our wedding, so it took longer than usual but he was patient and still took many photos and provided all of the services provided, though it took longer than we all anticipated. Afterwards, he sent us a link where we can download all of the pictures fairly quickly relative to other photographers. I would highly recommend him for any wedding, and especially the SF City Hall one. We came from out of town so would've been lost without his patience and help throughout the process. read more

Usman was polite and professional and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. My husband and I were married at SF City Hall and we dawdled some in reserving a photographer, so we were having trouble finding someone available a month before the ceremony. Luckily, Usman had availability and he was able to accommodate us on short notice. Fortunately, he was affordable (other photographers charge double for similar services), so we were so thankful that he was punctual, helpful, patient, and delivered great, polished photos in no time at all. Thank you, Usman, for making the whole experience great. read more

It was great working with Usman on our wedding day a few weeks ago! We initially reached out to him and he scheduled a call with us to get an idea of what we were looking for, time/date, etc., which was helpful in getting an idea of what we we wanted for the day of. Leading up to the day, Usman was responsive whenever we had questions. On the day of, he had a plan of action to take us through all of the spots around city hall both prior to and after the ceremony. He made the both of us feel comfortable in front of the camera and was really good with our guests as well! He was with us for only a portion of our day, but we are thankful and happy with the experience. The photos turned out amazing and he had them ready for us in such a short time! Would highly recommend!!! read more

My husband and I would like to have Usman as not only our photographer for any and every event that should be photographed but also have him as a dear friend because we LOVED HIM! He was so sweet and professional from the start, working with us for the perfect photography package tailored to our unique day. He made us forget our awkwardness in front of the camera and also captured all our special moments. He was also incredibly adaptable and accommodating during the busiest parts of our wedding, that we couldn't have asked for anything more perfect. He even took some of his own time to drive us to an area where we had to climb under a fence in order to meet our spontaneous request for a picture with the SF skyline. You honestly couldn't ask for better. read more

Usman took our wedding photos and they turned out STUNNING! Truly ones we'll treasure for a life time. The lighting was beautiful and he captured all our best candid moments. He was very professional and met with us ahead of time to plan out when we'd be taking family photos and the schedule for the day. He also was flexible as needed.

We met Usman on our trip to Positano right after we got engaged. It was perfect timing because he was able to take our engagement pictures right there in Positano. Usman is very personable and made us feel very comfortable doing something that was a little awkward for the both of us. The pictures came very fast and turned out unbelievably beautiful. Some of our favorite pictures were taken in spots that I would have never thought to photograph, especially when you have the iconic Positano cliffside to compete with. Thank you, Usman! We highly recommend. read more

Usman was such a delight to work with - the most patient, accommodating, professional, flexible, and affordable (!) photographer imaginable - not an easy feat during the chaos that is a South Asian wedding! Not only did we love him, but our families, vendors and guests all loved him as well! Each picture turned out beautifully. He was able to capture moments on stage and candid moments perfectly. We are so incredibly happy that we decided to go with Usman, and would recommend him to any and all couples planning a wedding! read more

Usman is an amazing photographer and it was a pleasure to work with him! He was extremely flexible with our ever-changing vision for our wedding (from a small elopement-esque City Hall affair to what became an intimate more "traditional" wedding in the east bay). The photos that he captured are truly my favorite photos of myself and my friends and family EVER. He was also extremely quick at sending us the photos after the wedding--I know some photographers can take a month or more! We give Usman our highest recommendation to anyone in the market for a photographer :) thank you again!! read more

We booked him for our SF City Hall wedding. Everything went great! We were very happy with the pictures and the whole experience.

Usman took care of our needs and was attentive to our vision. Great photographer to work with.....

Usman was our photographer for our San Francisco City Hall ceremony and he was excellent! Very professional and easy to reach, he helped us navigate the logistics of that day and always responded promptly to any questions we sent. He knew all the places in the building to get the best pictures. We got our album only 5 days after the ceremony despite being over a holiday weekend. The pictures look gorgeous and very natural. Totally recommended! read more
