A genuine documentary of our wedding

Saumya did an amazing job capturing the sweetest moments of raw emotion through my wedding, both of us and our guests! My husband and I couldn't stop going through the photos once we got them. I love them.

Before the day, Saumya listened closely to our vision and what we were looking for. She asked her own questions to make sure she understood exactly what we wanted, the timeline, the venue, and what shots we wanted.

It was clear she cares a lot about her craft—from the moment she got to our venue, she was busy running around trying to capture everything she could. The delivery of the photos were also SUPER fast. We got the whole album back in basically less than a week.

Lastly, Saumya is a joy to work with as a person. She's genuine, hard-working, patient, and a good listener. I felt comfortable with her the entire time. Thank you so much, Saumya!!

Excellent !!

Saumya was a great choice for my photography! She was super super punctual even though she had to drive like for 3 hours to my venue. Saumya and her team were soo cheerful and enthusiastic during the whole event ; she was literally my therapist for the day! Her professionalism was highly commendable but at the same time she was like my bridesmaid helping me through the stress! The photos came out so beautiful. Dream Team

Amazing experience!

Saumya was a sweetheart since our first contact on Instagram, she answered me very quickly and her upbeat personality was exactly what we wanted from a photographer. The whole process was very straightforward for us. It was a very simple small courthouse wedding which might have made things easier, but all along Saumya was available to answer questions and make suggestions. We were pleasantly surprised by how involved she was, her dedication to find good locations to shoot, and that she visited the surroundings of the city hall before the ceremony to get more familiar with the area and get inspiration. We are extremely satisfied with our photos, she was great at directing us in a way that the pictures look natural. We are so happy we chose Saumya to capture these memories! We are both pretty shy so her personality played a big part in making us feel more comfortable, and that really shows in the pictures.

Fantastic experience

I remember when I talked to her for the first time she told me please enjoy your special day and trust me. On my wedding day, when Saumya arrived I was already anxious and nervous. As soon as, she saw me she calmed me down started working her charm, and made everyone laugh and cheer with her. We all became so calm and really enjoyed our day. It is awesome to get a good photographer but to have an amazing, fun-loving personality is very important to make everyone involved in the shoot feel comfortable. Saumya is perfect for that. And the photos she delivered are out of this world. She captured every vision that I had to the day and then some. You can see the passion she has for her work and how beautifully she justifies it. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. My family and friends all are in awe of the photos.

Amazing, personable photographer

Saumya is amazing! Before our wedding she treated us with a complimentary engagement shoot to ensure that she really got to know us and for us to get comfortable with her, and because of that experience, I am positive our wedding photos will be perfect! It’s clear that she loves what she does, and because of that, she puts her whole heart into each session. Not only is she such a wonderful person, her photography is impeccable. She really takes the time and effort to bring your vision to life. A beautiful soul and talented artist, she is truly god-sent

An amazing person to work with...



Saumya was amazing to work with. She is hardworking, extremely dedicated, and very flexible and accommodating. She took all of our requests and feedback. She captured our micro wedding and during the ceremony, time flies so fast but after reviewing the pictures later it bought back all those memories. She is very considerate and spent a lot of time with us pre-event to plan shots and asked us what we wanted and also added her own personal touch. Post-wedding she delivered the album in record time and also when there were certain things that we wanted slightly differently she made it possible as well from color grading to edits.

I highly recommend booking her for your next shoot.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
