About

Your wedding is one of the most important days of your life, and it is an honor when couples choose Accent Photographics to visually capture their special event from beginning to end.

Lifestyle Photographer Shuva Rahim incorporates a documentary/photojournalistic style that includes few poses, and predominantly more images reflecting who you are - enjoying the moment as it happens.

Photography generally starts with your rehearsal and then captures the main aspects and simple details of the wedding day - from the bride getting dressed to table settings to the couple's first dance.

In the end, the final images will capture your special event with artistic honesty, creative vision and timeless memories that will marvel your grandchildren.

Shuva was phenomenal to work with for my wedding and definitely goes above and beyond what you'd expect from a photographer! My husband and I wanted someone who would catch the day as it unfolded without a lot of staging or fuss; Shuva's photo journalistic style was exactly what we were looking for. She was wonderful to work with, very professional, personable, and offered many great suggestions to enhance the day and experience. She's got a great system for how to make the day flow seamlessly and a natural instinct for being in the right place at the right time to catch unforgettable moments. In addition to beautifully photographing our wedding, we had an amazing engagement session with Shuva in which she actually helped my husband and I learn more about each other through her fun and creative process. She did wonderful blogs after our engagement session and wedding which we could share with our friends and family. She met with us multiple times to prepare for our big day and she is super quick in responding to emails and sending us our pictures. AND she laid out THE MOST GORGEOUS wedding album for us. You'll love working with her for your big life celebrations but you would be be mistaken to categorize her solely as a wedding or event photographer. She's passionate and truly inspired by capturing people doing what makes them happy. Her services far exceeded my expectations and I am immensely grateful for her time, feedback, suggestions, help, and talent.

Shuva has been amazing to work with! She sends prompt personalized emails. She's genuinely interested in getting to know us as a couple. She's invested in her clients and the outcome of their wedding experience. She gives suggestions and advice...oh and she takes great photos!!! Our engagement session was a blast. Can't wait to see our wedding photos. Highly recommended and super fun to work with.

Accent Photographics was an excellent choice for photographing our wedding. Their personal and flexible service really help simplify an already too complicated day. The price was a steal for the amount of stuff we got in our package, and the pictures look amazing. Accent Photographics is also very modern with how they deal with photo distribution. They can do quality prints at extra cost, but they also give you digital copies for your own printing needs. Fantabulous!

Shuva was, in a word, fantastic. We went a little off the beaten path for both our engagement pictures and our wedding and she rolled with whatever we threw at her (ie: Darth Vader crashing the cake cutting!) and was always up for anything.

She has a positive, accepting attitude and great communication skills which are essential qualities for a good wedding photographer. We probably communicated more with her than with any of our other wedding vendors and every email we sent was answered promptly with every question addressed. She also made sure that we had the schedule for the day hammered out well ahead of time and helped keep everything running smoothly and on time during the wedding day.

In addition to all these other positive qualities, she also takes beautiful pictures. She has quite a knack for catching special little moments and capturing them in a way that takes you back to that moment each time you look at the photo. Her photos weave a complete story of the wedding day from start to finish and not a moment was missed.

Short version: We loved every aspect of working with Shuva and if we were to do the whole wedding over, we would choose her again as our photographer in a heartbeat!

We could not have hoped for a better photographer than Shuva! She is incredibly friendly and has a genuine passion for her work that shines through her photos. The photos of our big day perfectly captured our personalities, our friends and family, and created a story of not only our wedding day but our relationship. Shuva's wedding package was by far the best value we found of any professional photographers. In addition to shooting over 10 hours at our wedding, Shuva's package included an engagement photo shoot which allowed us to meet and get to know Shuva months before the wedding. By the wedding day we were so comfortable with her that we could truly be ourselves and capture true moments rather than poses. With our package, we still have a photo shoot left checking in on us after the wedding. We are looking forward to it and are so happy we chose Shuva to be our photographer! Her passion to capture true moments in her photos create more personal sessions to the point that Shuva became more than our photographer and grew to be a friend.

Shuva has a knack for catching the perfect moments. They look completely natural, not like a pose. She's wonderful to work with, I wouldn't use any one else.

Shuva Rahim of Accent Photographics is an outstanding photographer. She takes beautiful photos and turns them in to high-quality prints, albums, and disc sets. She is full of wedding planning advice, is easy to get in touch with, and has a great website and blog. I would say her wedding packages are the best value in the area for the quality and quantity you receive.

My husband and I could not be more pleased with our photos, albums, and the whole process of working with Shuva. We would highly recommend her to anyone!!

Shuva is the best! The photos from our special day (and our wedding photo book) blew my mind. They were of great quality, unique, plus they represented our day perfectly! Shuva not only has extraordinary skills, but she is organized, on time, and professional. I will recommend her to any couple!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
