Such a great choice!

It was an absolute pleasure having Sanaz be our wedding photographer! Her pictures came out amazing and she was able to capture the magic of our wedding in every one of them. The engagement photo session that she offered turned out to be critical, as it gave us the opportunity to experience her photography style and informed us about what kind of pictures we wanted taken during our wedding. Sanaz was always open to our suggestions and made it clear at the very beginning that it was our day and she was just there to capture it. Additionally, we appreciated Sanaz's passion for her work as well as her assertiveness for keeping to a schedule and dealing with large groups and family dynamics. We highly recommend Sanaz for photographing any special moment.

Best Decision We Made for Our Big Day!

We chose to work with Butterfly Photography based on her pictures and reviews and when we met in person, we were 100% confident that Sanaz and her team were the right choice! When you work with her, you not only get a professional photographer, but also a great person to consult with on all aspects of your big day to look your best. Her thoughtfulness, flexibility and caring come through immediately to make your day as special as it can be. We were extremely happy as she managed to capture all of the important parts of our engagement session and wedding; the only difficult part was choosing which pictures we wanted for our album since we loved them all! She also had a great selection on albums to choose from and we were more than thrilled to see the final product! We have already recommended her to our friends and continue to keep her in mind for future events since you don't need to worry about anything when you work with her.

Our Best Decision

Sanaz and her team were wonderful to work with! My husband and I are quite camera shy and prefer not to be in the spotlight. You would never know by looking at our pictures; Butterfly Photography did such a great job in capturing us during our engagement shoot and wedding! Sanaz was flexible in meeting our needs, but also gave helpful suggestions through the process. It is clear through her pictures that the purpose of her work is not simply a means of fulfilling a contract, but creating a work of art. I've already been recommending her to our friends; and guarantee working with Butterfly Photography will be one of the best decisions you make in planning your wedding!
