About

Hi! I’m Safeena. My friends call me Saf, so so can you.

I cherish global impact, outdoor adventure, and genuine human connection –– and so I’ve integrated all those things into my work.

I believe in honest and emotive storytelling, generosity, and inclusivity. I am passionate about making adventure accessible in the elopement world.

You don’t need to project a trendy ideal to be my ideal client. You don’t need to be effortlessly flawless and naturally outdoorsy. As long as you believe that love is the greatest adventure that life has to offer, and are willing to let me guide you into an epic adventure, we’ll be great together.

I’m based in Malibu, CA, but California’s big wide open and Eastern Sierra are a second home to me. I’ve gotten to know this state through my unreasonable day-trip habit, climbing, and camping. I love showing the best nooks and crannies to new friends.

I’m also well-versed in international destination work, having shot weddings on 5 continents, living on 4 continents, and traveling to over 40 countries in 6 continents (Antarctica, I’m coming for you). I have destination honeymoon/elopement itineraries for some of favorite adventures called the Honeylopement Adventure collection, and would be stoked to bring you along for the ride.

She's the BEST!!

She was such a blast to work with from the very beginning. I first met her when she was the photographer at a friend’s wedding, and I immediately loved her personality. She has such a warm, easy presence that makes you feel completely comfortable, almost like a friend is there taking your photos rather than it feeling awkward or performative. She made the whole wedding day feel seamless, like we were just laughing and enjoying the moment with a buddy by our side. :)

At the same time, she is incredibly skilled and artistic. She has a real eye for natural beauty and for capturing genuine, meaningful moments in a way that feels true to the day rather than overly staged or overdone. She was also efficient and thoughtful about making sure we got the moments that mattered most to us. Looking through the photos feels like being transported right back into our wedding day. I’m so happy I had the chance to work with her!!

Hire her, plain & simple

My now-wife and I had the absolute pleasure of having Safeena document our wedding in Yosemite.

Here what you need to know: hire her. Plain and simple. She and her team are incredibly considerate, kind, down-to-earth people who will make you feel comfortable and like you’ve known them for ages. This is exactly what you want on your wedding day. Oh by the way, her work is second to none coming from an experienced wedding photographer.

Full story: For context, my wife and I are former wedding photographers that have shot over 100 weddings so choosing a photographer was the question that I was asked THE MOST during our planning.

After interviewing a few photographers we eventually met Safeena. Her work is stunning, full of emotion and genuine. Schedules didn’t let us meet in person but we spoke through face time and knew we would be a good fit.

Our first time meeting face to face was wedding morning. Pouring rain in Yosemite and she guided us through the day when we needed and graciously gave us space when appropriate. We met up later in the week for a post wedding portrait session in Yosemite and it was as if the 3 of us had been friends for years. Our session was smooth, she prompted us when necessary and was more than willing to be adventurous with us.

Our photographs came out amazing, but more importantly the experience we had with her exceeded even the photos. We could not be more thankful to have had her document and be a part of our day and story.

The best investment we made

Safeena was a dream to work with from start to finish and she captured the day beautifully. My hope for my wedding photos was to look at them and remember the overwhelming love and joy I felt on my wedding day. Safeena over delivered- I absolutely love our photos.

When I was choosing a photographer, it was important to me to hire someone who would be comfortable and fun to be around all day (because you really do spend all day with your photographer). This stress was relieved when I booked Safeena. She and her team turned the unpleasant prospect of getting my photo taken for 8 hours into an easygoing, fun experience and one of my favorite aspects of the day .

She’s the best!

Choosing Safeena was the best decision we made. From communication to day of details, she made everything so easy and was very accommodating to our schedule and needs. My partner and I were very nervous on the day of our engagement session but it really felt like just hanging out with a friend holding a camera - haha! The pictures turned out beautiful and I'm so excited for our wedding.

Total professional

Safeena was absolutely wonderful to work with. My husband and I reached out to Safeena after finding her work online and through referrals. We looked at a lot of portfolios but her work really stood out. Her planning, prepping, concepting, and walking us through the process beforehand helped us feel at ease and made the day of a breeze. She and her on site assistant were always able to capture the right moments of spontaneity, and Safeena did a wonderful job organizing group photos in a way that didn’t feel forced or cliché. We couldn’t be happier with the photos. We would love to work with her again when the big anniversaries come up!

Excellence!

Safeena was absolutely wonderful to work with. Months prior to our wedding date, we reached out to Safeena after finding her work online and through referrals. She was very easy to work with and was very patient and understanding as we shared our vision of our wedding day. Her planning, prepping, concepting, and walking us through the process beforehand helped us feel at ease and made the day of a breeze. She and her on site assistant were always able to capture the right moments of spontaneity, and Safeena did a wonderful job organizing group photos in a way that didn’t feel forced or cliché. After the big day, Safeena gave us full access to the photos, and the prints we ordered came out beautifully. We would love to work with her again when the big anniversaries come up!

Amazing experience and photos!

This is a long overdue review for really fantastic work from Safeena! My now-husband and I contacted her back in February 2020 when we were thinking the whole pandemic would end in a couple of weeks. Even with the looming restrictions on the wedding industry and everything else that was popping up, Safeena was flexible and open to all the different ideas we had laid out for our wedding. We did have some radio silence for a little when the whole world started to go a little haywire, but reconnected towards the end of 2020 when we decided to do our engagement shoot and wedding all within 6 months. This is where Safeena’s flexibility really shined through! During our engagement shoot, she made us feel very comfortable since we are not comfortable taking a lot photos. The comfort we felt during the shoot really showed through the final picture gallery she sent us and we are so happy to finally have (plenty) of photos of us looking natural and not so stiff. For our home wedding, Safeena captured our moments so perfectly and the photos came out amazing! Whenever we do decide to hold our big wedding reception, I would not hesitate to call Safeena up for her to be our photographer again!
