Vijay and the Wedding Documentary team were fantastic to work with! We highly recommend them for any events you need photo and video work for, especially if it's an Indian wedding. We hired them for our wedding as well as an engagement photo shoot. Vijay is super nice to work with and had a really fast turnaround with the photos for both. The quality is exceptional as well, and he has posted some nice video teasers on Instagram as well. He's very flexible, easy to work with, and responsive through email and phone. He also has a lot of creative ideas when it comes to the shots and can work quickly when the wedding is on a tight timeline. He has a great relationship and experience with the Palm Event Center as well. Thanks so much for everything, Vijay! read more

Vijay and the Wedding Documentary team were amazing for our special events. They went above and beyond and we absolutely loved their creativity in capturing our precious moments in photos and videos for us. We are so grateful! Many thanks, Vijay! We highly appreciate and recommend Wedding Documentary to anyone looking to capture their special events. read more

We've had the pleasure of working with Vijay recently for my son's engagement. Having worked with many photographers over the years through my work in Marketing, I spent a good amount of time sifting through many portfolio's before I selected Vijay. Vijay is a consummate professional, super easy to schedule and requires very little direction. He is personable, patient and thoughtful. He did a pre-engagement shoot at Filoli Gardens. My son and his fiancee were gave raving reviews for him. Looks like Vijay was fun, gave clear instructions and good tips throughout the shoot. I was amazed at the cheerful disposition with which my son came back from the photoshoot, considering he doesn't exactly like being photographed:) That should give you an idea of how easy it is to connect with Vijay. The engagement function was a bit challenging since we had over 150 people and groups were wanting to be photographed with the couple throughout the event; Vijay organized groups with ease, set up his shots and did it efficiently, managing to photograph all our guests. Vijay delivered the photographs from both the shoots very quickly. The results were outstanding. The shoot at Filoli was absolutely stunning! Overall classy, well composed shots, great locations, beautiful angles, excellent work with bright and low lighting, it was truly a joy to see what he was able to produce from each shoot. We will definitely reach out to Vijay when we have an event again, and I highly recommend working with him! One tip I'd like to share for host families, if you have a large group, put a shot list together and assign a friend to get through the shot list, this way you ensure you get all important family and group pics. read more

It was a great experience working with Vijay! He was definitely a calming presence in the chaos of the wedding day. He took so many pictures very efficiently and was very patient. He knew all the best spots to take pictures at the venue. The pictures came out even better than I could have imagined and they came so quickly! Would definitely recommend him for photography for weddings! read more

I have been following Vijay's work for years, and he was the first call I made after we set a wedding date. I was thrilled he was available and have absolutely no regrets. Vijay and his team are extremely professional ad have wonder insight into establishing the flow of the event. Vijay found a way to include all the things we wanted and utilized every opportunity to snap a cool shot. I loved his creativity and spontaneity with making the most of each space and scenario we had. The photos not only captured our magical day but are a true work of art. 10/10 recommend! read more

Vijay and his team were amazing to work with for my Sangeet and wedding events.They were on time, professional and were very easy to work with. A huge thanks to the team for being a part of our big day. Thank you for capturing our most sacred moments. Beautiful pictures, videos and song selections!!! I've been sharing with all of my family members and rewatching the videos. Absolutely amazing !!! read more

Vijay was our wedding photographer and videographer, and I couldn't have asked for a more talented, professional, and genuinely kind team to capture such an important day. From start to finish, they went above and beyond making us feel comfortable in front of the camera, catching every emotional moment, and somehow being everywhere at once without ever feeling intrusive. The photos and videos turned out beyond stunning full of life, and perfectly capturing the love, energy, and joy of the day. Every time we look through them, we get to relive the magic all over again. Vijay's eye for detail and his calm, friendly presence made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. His team worked so hard behind the scenes and brought such positive energy to the day it truly felt like they were part of our celebration! Wedding Documentary has my highest recommendation. read more

I dont even know where to start! Vijay was hands down the best vendor I hired for my wedding/engagement shoot. His professionalism, eye for photography, and organization is UNMATCHED. He was not only such an amazing photographer but he did everything. He coordinated our first look, made sure the team was ready for all the big shots, and made sure I looked good before leaving to any event. We got all of our pictures in record time and honestly i'm so blown away. Each shot is just a piece of art he really knows what he's doing. Not only were all the pictures stunning but his editing is so subtle and beautiful and it was exactly the style that we were looking for. The pictures are what you're going to have for the rest of your life as the key momentos from your wedding day and trust me you cannot go wrong hiring this amazing team. Vijay's team is also just as talented and professional so you'll be in good hands all around. read more

Vijay is one of the best in the business! I can't say enough positive things about him and would consider him as having the absolute highest quality photography and videography in the Bay Area! He shot three of my cousins weddings and came highly recommended and so I knew he was good but he far exceeded my expectations! From the moment we connected, I saw his professionalism and passion for photography. He took the time to understand our vision and made it come true! During the wedding, he created a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, allowing us to feel at ease and express our true selves. His ability to capture genuine emotions and candid moments was truly remarkable. He also has an amazingly creative eye and captured moments through an artistic eye which makes him stand out from other photographers/videographers. He truly is an artist and his work demonstrates this! When we received the final images, we were blown away by the stunning results. Not only did his work exceed our expectations in terms of the final product, but his punctuality was also over the top. If you're searching for a photographer/videographer who can deliver an outstanding experience and unparalleled quality of work, I would highly recommend booking with Vijay! He has a gift for capturing moments that will be cherished for a lifetime. I'm so truly grateful for his creative work!! read more

I originally posted 5 stars but unfortunately the more at I look at my pictures and video of my special day the work was subpar for the price Vijay charges. We had concerns the day off as well but was being nice as our wedding was the first at San Jose Gurudwara and I understand all we're going through challenges associated with Covid. This was dead in middle of Covid, July 2021 I have a little anxiety writing this as lots of others had good experiences. 1) husband said he arrived late to his place hence I waited at the gurudwara for an hour before bharat came, with Vijay's team. 2) my wedding video was so short.. an hour and about 20 minutes. Lots of video of cut out, the main coverage was all just the anand karaj. No food coverage and no video of anyone eating. 3) Lots of photos missing of husband and I during the actually ceremony, all photos were mainly of us touching nose to nose lol nothing else... I wish I had asked for more types of photos. He was 6k for the wedding only which is slot of money for subpar work, again I understand they were a little rusty and we all experienced Covid challenges for the first time. Another big issue is that however his camera lighting was it made me look white ( I'm brown) and I had anxiety over that for a few weeks and hated looking at my pics. The reason I wanted to put this review out is I tried to book the best folks in the business and expected that service and I don't want another brown bride to do through the wedding stress I did. I asked him about is and he answered with some technical lingo which I'm I get but I'm planning to be married once and won't get that day back so it sucks. I paid extra for live coverage so my husbands folks in India could watch it and they had the camera turned upside down for the first 20 minutes. And for some reason he asked me to give my review of that to another customer and still gave good reviews. Im more of a Pocahontas than Snow White. Also I posted the photo I took of my skin tone compared to photos in my album with my face three times as lighter. I'm sure I'll get some backlash from this review hence reason I didn't post but .. oh well :) is read more

Vijay and the Wedding Documentary team were our wedding photographers for 5 events of my Indian wedding in October of this year and they were incredible! From start to finish, they were calm, professional, and highly organized, ensuring that every moment of our wedding was captured beautifully. Vijay's attention to detail was unmatched--he adjusted us and our guests for the perfect shots and even stepped in to troubleshoot unexpected challenges, like ensuring our priest's audio was captured when the DJ's mic failed. Our guests couldn't stop raving about how seamless and professional the team was, guiding everyone effortlessly while keeping us on schedule. Vijay's knowledge of the event flow and his respectful yet firm approach made everything run smoothly. Choosing Wedding Documentary as our photographer and videographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We recently got our wedding photos and our teaser video and love everything that was captured on the day of. Highly recommend to any couple in the Bay Area--you'll be in the best hands! Thank you, Vijay and team, for making our special day unforgettable! read more

We hired Wedding Documentary to take pictures for 3 of our wedding events and they did a fantasic job! Vijay and his team were on time at every event and very patient and diligent with their photography. He has a great eye for staging photos and was able to beautifully capture the love and fun in every event! He also gave great suggestions for bridal, groom, couple, family, and group photos throughout the events. The team was able to deliver all the photos & videos promptly. We are really pleased at the results and will cherish the photos for years to come! Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a wedding photographer. read more

we hired him for my daughter's wedding. He acted creepy and was awful. I would not recommend him to anyone.

Vijay and his team are really some of the best in the business and it shows. Their photos and videos of my wedding were absolutely perfect. And they were a breeze to work with - highly communicative, quick to respond to questions, and seamlessly blending in with the wedding festivities instead of obstructing guests' experience. They also delivered the photos and videos very quickly and swiftly made the edits we requested. They were easily one of my favourite vendors from the wedding and you'll be in great hands working with them. read more

This review is way over due!! This duo goes above and beyond not just for the bride and groom but the family as well. Vijay and Rashmi are dedicated to their work and art. They area adaptable in any cultural event and cater to everyone's needs. They will guide you through the entire process, ensuring you get the right shots and that you are happy and comfortable through out the process. The images are beyond this world fantastic, straight out of a magazine! We never felt rushed or pressured, it was pure fun and joy to get our pictures taken by them! Not only is the quality impeccable, you get the images so promptly. In a week we had photos to share with our family! We hired them for several functions including our engagement ceremony last year and all of our wedding events this past September. It is worth the investment, and you will be able to cherish these photos for a life time. Rashmi was particularly outstanding! She made me look and feel like a model! Her attention to detail is on another level, she will make every adjustment to make you look good. You can tell this is what she loves to do, and her work shines. As a bride it is so important to be surrounded by the right people, and from my experience Wedding Documentary the best choice! read more

You will not be disappointed with Wedding Documentary! Nearly all of our friends and family use them and the pictures and videos are phenomenal. They have really great packages so you can get the combinations of pics, videos, same day highlights, etc that you want. Rashmi, Vijay, and team work so well together and are great at making you feel comfortable when taking photos. They literally captured EVERYTHING and even their complete video footage is polished and edited. Book ahead because these folks are popular and completely worth it! And they definitely know how to work with Indian weddings :) read more

Wedding Documentary Photography & Videography - Videographers Near Me

If you are looking for a professional, talented and enthusiastic team to cover your wedding look no further. Working with the Wedding Documentary team was hassle-free and amazing. They were on time and covered all the details that were important to us. And of course the pictures and videos were beautiful. The highlight especially was exceptionally good. Overall had an amazing experience with them. read more

How have I not reviewed Wedding Documentary yet?! I feel so silly for the lag! I knew I wanted to book Vijay 2 years before I even got engaged. So it turns out, I ended up reserving his services for my wedding about 3 weeks before my now husband had even proposed... talk about jumping the gun! I just could not imagine anyone else capturing my wedding and Vijay can get booked over a year out - he's in very high demand and for good reason!! I used Wedding Documentary for photography for my engagement shoot, my mehndi night, sangeet night, and all day on my wedding day. He did videography too for the 3 wedding days! Aside from the venue expense, Wedding Documentary was my 2nd largest wedding expense and 100% worth every penny! The biggest advantage Vijay has in my personal opinion is the helping hand of Rashmi Rao! Vijay is incredibly good at narrating a shoot and instructing the couple and their friends/family on what to do... Rashmi is excellent at capturing those candid romantic and feminine shots and bring a perfect balance to the team! These guys know what shots to capture in a big fat desi wedding and love to put their own creative spin on the shots. Tips: Indian vendors are notoriously a pain in the bum to work with... Vijay is like a breathe of fresh air. His responses are timely, he is incredibly honest and will not sugarcoat anything, he treats his clients and their vendors with respect, and he makes sure that the product he has delivered is something that the client will like. Part of this is done through his extremely intense survey process - if you want him to deliver something you like, you have to TELL him what you like in this survey. Take your time to fill this stuff out, but make sure you get it to him in time if you want to get your product delivered in time - such as giving him the list of songs you would like in your highlight videos before the wedding or at the latest 1 week after the wedding. Make sure you give the Wedding Documentary team an itinerary before the day of the event which includes ample time for them to take their getting ready shots, pre-ceremony, and pre-reception shots! They captured 2 of my friends weddings the same year as mine and all three of us could have done a better job of planning for that window of time because the bride and groom will definitely want those special shots of the two of them alone or with the bridal party to capture their love for each other outside of the massive family gathering. Lastly, don't hesitate to ask Vijay and Rashmi for advice! They have captured so many weddings by now, they have plenty of does and don'ts to share. I used their input to help book my vendors and venue, plan the wedding schedule, figure out the type of decor that would look best, and get the best location to capture the pictures. Vijay was the one who suggested that I do my engagement shoot in Carmel along the 17 mile drive as SF was already done by so many friends and family, and his suggestion was brilliant! My engagement pictures were gorgeous and my husband and I had a great time taking them on the beach. I'll be using Vijay and Rashmi for my anniversary shoots, maternity shoots, and family shoots! Can't wait to capture more beautiful memories with these guys!! http://weddingdocumentary.com/weddingphotos/kriti-amit-indian-wedding-san-jose-fairmont/ http://weddingdocumentary.com/engagement-sessions/indian-engagement-shoot-carmel-17-mile-drive/ http://www.maharaniweddings.com/indian-wedding-videos/2016-05-23/7318-san-jose-ca-indian-wedding-by-wedding-documentary-photo-cinema http://weddingdocumentary.com/weddingphotos/mehndi-photography-santa-clara/ http://weddingdocumentary.com/weddingphotos/choora-sehra-ceremony-fairmont-san-jose/ read more

Could not be happier with our decision to work with Vijay and the whole Wedding Documentary team for our wedding in San Jose, CA! We worked with Vijay for our engagement shoot, pre-wedding events and our big day and we could not be happier with the quality of our photos and videos. Vijay is diligent to ensure we always captured the most important moments, included all of our family, bridal party, guests and of course an innumerable number of special couple shots that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Our family and friends all RAVED about Vijay, everyone was so impressed on our wedding weekend and now as we share the final shots they are blown away with his ability to capture so many beautiful angles and precious moments. The team is professional, punctual, kind and when the back one of earrings fell out just before the ceremony, one of his photographers actually removed her own studs and helped me fix my earrings - truly a full service operation. On top of everything, Vijay is so responsive via email, phone, text and it seems like he never sleeps because he works so hard to get your final albums done in a timely fashion. Our wedding took months to plan but when the weekend finally rolled around, everything happened so quickly and it was over before we knew it -- my husband, our families and I are all so grateful that we will always have these photos and videos to look back on such a special moment in our lives :) I strongly recommend Vijay/Wedding Documentary without reservation! read more

We had our pre-wedding shoot done with Vijay. The whole process was very smooth and easy. You just need to follow what Vijay says during the shoot and the final results will be wonderful. We loved both the videos and photos and would highly recommend Vijay/ Wedding Documentary for your photoshoot. read more

AMAZING photography and videography team. I've worked with the Wedding Documentary team several times as a makeup artist. They are always punctual, calm, collected, and put the wedding party at ease for photos. The work itself is stunning, as I'm sure you've seen through yelp and social media. Very colorful, fun, energetic, and inclusive. It's hard to coordinate many people in photos and make it look good, the wedding documentary does it with ease. Their focus on detail is also amazing. The team has gotten up close with me while I do makeup touch ups and it never felt uncomfortable, nor did they get in the way. You won't regret booking with Vijay and his team!! Highly recommend! read more

My spouse and I worked with Vijay and Matt for our Sangeet, Ceremony and Reception for our wedding in December 2023 in Berkeley. We can't recommend Wedding Documentary highly enough for any couples seeking documentation services. We are a queer, inter-racial couple and Wedding Documentary was incredibly affirming of our diverse and unique relationship! Vijay's incredible attention to detail (including reminding me to take off my apple watch!) allowed us to be truly present at our wedding events and trust that the days would be documented beautifully. I was blown away by how the team kept our timeline moving the morning of the wedding, made sure our first look was absolutely magical, and put both my wife and I at ease through the day. Since getting our wedding video I have ugly-happy-cried no less than 15 times watching our highlight edit and documentary-style edit for each event. I truly can't emphasize what a great experience we had working with Wedding Documentary, and I hope that the next time we have a huge life event, we'll be able to work together again! read more

I wish I could give Wedding Documentary 10 stars on yelp! We booked Wedding Documentary for our Sikh wedding in 2018 and two years later, we are still in awe of their work! Our friends and family are always rewatching our wedding videos and their photography shots are just so beautiful. They captured every small moment for us and we just love that we're able to relive the best day of our lives because of their amazing team! It really shows that the entire team is very passionate about their work because you can feel their enthusiasm when they're working with you. My favorite part about working with them is how creative they are and how much they love to push the boundaries to get some amazing shots! The photo and video team were always just a shot away during each event and we really loved how much effort they put into getting us the best photo and film we could ask for. Our friends and family still tell us even two years later how much they love our photos and videos so trust that the value in working with Wedding Documentary will exceed your expectations! We still book with this team for other events so there is no doubt they are doing something amazing! Thanks again WD Team! read more

Vijay is one of the photographer who knows what, why and hows of composing the photograph. Unlike some photographers, he is very patient, considerate and puts lot of thought in taking a picture. We worked with him in 2015 for our maternity photoshoot and then again in 2016 for family photoshoot and 1st birthday and in 2017 for yearly family shoot. You can see that we keep repeating having business with him and will continue to do so. He is so much good with kids and tries to capture every minor thing. I would like to give special tip of hat to Rashmi. She is such a great team mate and is really really good. Thanks Vijay and Rashmi.! read more

PLEASE CHECK THE FILTERED REVIEWS! THERE ARE 28 OF THEM! I'm thoroughly pissed at Yelp for filtering Vijay's 28 reviews. He's so awesome and does such an exceptional job, I want to help him in any way I can! I met him over a year ago when I was searching for the perfect photographer who knows Indian weddings but who had an artistic flare about them. Finally, I came across Vijay on yelp and decided to meet him. I was so impressed with his portfolio; I booked him just a few days later and didn't even bother looking elsewhere. Not to mention, he does BOTH photo and video! How great is it to not have to deal with 2 different people/companies! My fiancé and I are so glad I booked him. We did an engagement shoot 2 months before my wedding and those images were so beautiful, I had him make me a photo guestbook so my guests could see it. Fast forward to 2 days before my wedding when he arrived at my house ready to photograph my henna night. Him and his team were polite, friendly, and blended in with my family and friends so well, no one really noticed he was there taking photo's. Our friends loved him and we all got along so well. How awesome is that?? He's not an in your face photographer but manages to capture everything important- every important shot. Having shot so many weddings, Vijay expects the unexpected, and really helped to keep me calm. He's also not afraid to make suggestions on what would look good in the photos. There are hundreds of photographers out there who are rude and frankly don't care about your wedding- they want to get in, make their money, and leave. But with Vijay it's different. By the end of it, it feels like he's a part of the family. And nothing feels better than knowing you're in capable hands on an insane day like your wedding. So, all you couples out there looking for an amazingly talented photographer who has manners and is personable, look no further. Every couple wants to be able to look at their wedding photos and feel like it just happened yesterday. Every time I go through my wedding gallery, I feel like I'm reliving my wedding. I couldn't be happier with Vijay and his team, who managed to capture one of the most important days in my life with elegance and finesse. I strongly recommend looking into booking him a year in advance! read more

I have nothing but great things to say about Vijay and his amazing team. My husband was super picky about who we would have photograph/video our wedding (as you should be), and he found Wedding Documentary! Vijay has an amazing vision and pulls out some of the coolest photos I have ever seen. The entire team was really fun to work with and made the whole experience fun for everyone. You really want the BEST when it comes to wedding pictures and video and i promise you this is THE BEST team for the job! He not only captures the moment but gets all the little details, so years from now when you look back at the pictures you can remember ever little thing. I love that about the way they work. The entire team was super friendly and went out of their way to make us feel relaxed on the stressful wedding day, and they went out of their way to do things to make our lives easier (which they obviously did not sign up for, nor was expected). They are just a team of really good people. I can't wait to see the rest of the photos and videos of my wedding :) read more

We heard about Wedding Documentary on Yelp with their fantastic reviews. We also really liked the work on their website and loved how they offered both photo/video services. Many of the wedding week highlight videos that were on the website moved me emotionally with no signs of cheesy production. It was real, raw and cinematic! We had a meeting with Vijay and you could immediately tell that him and his team are very passionate about what they do. Vijay not only answered my 10 -15 questionnaire via email but also provided more details in person. He also showed us their equipment and you could tell they only buy and work with the best. He's quick to respond even on weekends when we knew his team were working events. We had a lot of fun with him and Rashmi doing our engagement shoot in Half Moon Bay. The pictures turned out gorgeous and exactly how we wanted :) During our wedding events, his team's attention to detail and patience was impressive. Their team has shot many weddings at Fairmont SJ but they are able to find unique shots based on every couple. The pictures were breathtaking. I was brought to tears by our wedding highlight movie. Their team seeks to understand each couple and what they are seeing/hearing at the events. The highlights really captured the essence of me and my husband as a couple, highlighting some of the best moments and speech snippets at our reception/sangeet. read more

Vijay is awesome! I have attended over a handful of weddings that Vijay has photographed, and it is refreshing to see talent and charisma hand in hand. He is very particular with his work and always puts his best work forward. Not only is his photography great, but I truly love the videos he creates. He captures the special moments and is able to tell a story with his work. I had the privilege of being photographed by Vijay and was more than happy with the results. I definitely recommend Vijay! read more

Vijay has to be one of the best photographers in town. The moment he showed up to my house to photograph my engagement ceremony, I knew photos will come out well. He was friendly, professional and knew how to cheer the crowd to get some kickass photos. As someone who planned the event with lots of small details everywhere, it was an absolute delight to see the Vijay actually captured all of it. Even though we planned things well, one of our ceremonies started late and when we approached Vijay to stay an hour longer, he did it without hesitation and with a smile! I also have a slight camera-shy fiancé so my biggest worry was... well, getting awkward couple shots :) Vijay made the process so comfortable for us - my fiancé is smiling through all shots and the photos look so natural! No one could have guessed that my fiancé was camera shy that day :) Our families are thrilled that we hired a professional photographer for the event and I have Vijay to thank for it. I would highly recommend hiring him for any important event! read more

My husband and I are really picky people. We did a lot of research before we decided to pick Vijay to be our wedding photogprapher. We decided to choose Vijay because of the following: 1) Studied the art as well as the science of photo and videography in film school--and it shows in his work. 2) Professional, punctual and organized- responds to emails promptly, clearly explains what his services include, communicates clearly and promptly. 3) Works with your budget, friendly and easy to work with, with no hidden fees. My husband and I are very pleased with his work and we definitely would recommend him to future couples. We had no reservations hiring him as our wedding photographer. Vijay treats each project as if it were his own wedding photos. We greatly appreciate all the hard work he put into our wedding. Keep up the good work! read more

I was a bridesmaid in a wedding that was photographed by this crew. The final pics were breathtaking and I have them displayed throughout my home today. Vijay was fun to work with and inspired my group to be playful. His crew stopped traffic as the bridal party crossed the street for a quick photo shoot and the different settings and poses were creative and stunning. So glad my good friend selected such a skilled group. read more

If you're looking for the best in photography for your Bay Area Indian Wedding (or any Indian wedding or non-Indian wedding for that matter) you must go with Vijay! Vijay photographed two of my best friends' weddings, and I booked him at least a year in advance for my wedding (highly recommended because everything books up fast in the bay). My husband, his family, and my family, and of course myself (!) were very impressed with the quality of Vijay's photos. He was very pleasant and fun to work with, and he posted our photographs in a timely manner, a lot sooner then I was expecting, within two weeks of us getting married! Vijay gets all the shots that your Indian parents want, but he also did great artistic photos of myself and my husband, as well as with my mom and myself. Highly recommended, and definitely book him soon after you set your wedding date! read more

Vijay rakhra is the best photographer in the Bay Area. His professionalism, his attention to detail and his work are some of the few reasons why you should choose him to capture your special day. Yes it is pricier than some other photographers, but the only thing you have left from your wedding day is pictures and videos, don't go cheap on that! I had no doubt in my mind he would capture our wedding day and I am so happy that I chose his team for our wedding both photo and video! Best decision for our wedding! Better book him in advance! read more

Wedding Documentary Photography & Videography - Our wedding party! - Videographers Near Me

Working with Vijay and Rashmi was absolutely fantastic! Wedding Documentary captured our engagement photo shoot & wedding events -- Vijay and his team captured our events beautifully & completely listened to us of our likes/dislikes and made us feel comfortable throughout the process. He took time to understand us before jumping in which was really key. I'm quite a particular person and Vijay was receptive to that while adding his signature touch -- which was very much appreciated. Vijay and his team captured great close ups & family moments, our wedding just occurred so I'm looking forward to all the video shots! One piece of advice my cousins & friends told me, don't skimp out on your videographer/photographer -- they're the ones capturing such key elements of a day you want to remember forever -- thanks Vijay for delivering such great quality to us! read more

If you are looking for a talented videographer with a friendly and easy going personality you need to book Vijay now! I was referred to Vijay by several friends who also used him for their weddings. He did beautiful work then, and he continues to create great wedding videos that are personalized & classy. Many videographers tend to get a bit cheesy with the video editing, but Vijay's video gets tons of compliments from everyone who views it. I know my wedding video will stand the test of time which makes me really happy. Vijay blended in with our wedding and he was a lot of fun. He was like one of the guests :) He will work with you to make sure all your requests are captured, and his documentary style is modern and cool. The highlight video is awesome because most people don't have the time or attention to watch hours of video - 3 minutes was just perfect! Thanks again Vijay - you are a true artist! read more

Vijay at Wedding Documentary is incredible. He filmed and photographed our wedding in January of 2011 (it has taken me a long time to write this review but I had to do it because he is so wonderful) and he did such a fantastic job! He is totally professional, knows the exact shots to take, the lighting, he's original and he knows how to make people feel comfortable so he makes them look their most beautiful. He captured our every special moment on camera and video which meant so much to me because our wedding was like a fairy tale that now, because of Vijay, I can re-live when I want to. We were so blessed to find him. Also, I was on a budget for my wedding so I shopped around for a reasonably priced photographer and videographer. Vijay gave us an incredibly fair deal that was within our budget and his work was above and beyond anything we could have imagined! I couldn't recommend a better photographer and videographer than Vijay and his team at Wedding Documentary! They just don't get any better than him! read more

My fiancé and I were so excited about hiring Wedding Documentary after seeing so many beautiful photos and videos of events they have shot! We had a small engagement pooja with just immediate family and we had so much fun taking pictures - Vijay did a wonderful job of making us feel comfortable while also coming up with so many creative shots! We were so focused on the event that we didn't get to enjoy the beautiful scenery or venue as much as we would have liked to but we were so excited to relive the day with these gorgeous photos and drone footage.

My wife and I hired Mr. Rakhra to shoot our wedding last summer. We spoke with a few other photogs in the area but Vijay seemd the most professional and thorough out of the lot. he took the time to talk to us to really get a feel for us and i think it shows in his pictures. the posed shots went by relatively pain free. he took hundreds of shots but it only seemed like a couple of minutes. he was also great with all the youngsters...he knew just how to get them to concentrate on the lens and to give a natural smile. the candid photos were all great too. he must have been everywhere...like a ninja lurking in the shadows...because he got pics of everyone and everything from all angles! he also offered us plenty of options for his product delivery which was very nice compared to some of the other photogs we checked out. he was willing to accomodate any and all requests. the pictures turned out absolutely amazing. the detail, angle, perspective...all that photography stuff that people critique and love were outstanding. my entire family was very happy. I highly recommend hiring him for any and all of your photo needs. read more

Where do we begin? The first meeting where we decided to change our photography and videography vendor, the various conversations where my wife (then fiance) and I emphasized how much quality photo and video meant to us, or to the days leading up to the wedding when Vijay and his team made themselves available to answer any questions and come to our vendor walk-through. After researching at all their prior work, we entrusted Vijay and his team in this overly competitive and crowded wedding photography and videography business. Wedding Documentary delivered us the best gift of our wedding, the memories captured in photos, motion, and drone footage. We have received numerous compliments for our wedding photos and videos. Thank you again!! Basically, a great experienced team that cares about their work and makes sure they have all the necessary equipment to deliver a superior quality product that is clearly not easy to beat in this trade. read more

It's been almost a year now since Vijay captured my special day. This review is way over due! As I glance over and over at the photos he shot during my wedding (which I do at least once a month LOL), I am at awe on how beautiful they are and how beautiful everyone looks! We found Vijay on craigslist at random as I was about to give up on finding a reputable photographer. The moment we sat down with him, his outgoing personality and upbeat tone made us feel very comfortable and we hired him on the spot! His skills to capture personal moments are a big plus! Vijay did a phenomenal job and our wedding photos are very colorful and very candid which was what we wanted. I highly recommend Vijay to anyone looking for a more intimate, natural and personal photos. read more
