100/10 would recommend Maha Studios If you are looking for a Chicago wedding photographer. Maha Studios captured photography for our wedding events at Shalimar Banquet, Oakbrook Manor and Drury Lane Oakbrook and designed a custom wedding photo album that is such high quality. Their customer service was perfection! So kind and Zainab really helped direct our photos to help us get the best shots.

Amazing photographer!

We chose Maha studios to take our wedding day and mehendi ceremony photos and have no regrets! Sylvia was awesome to work with and did an amazing job capturing all of the details of both days. The pictures came out so beautifully, and we are so happy with the results!

The best wedding photographer!

I cannot say enough about Maha studios. We are so grateful for Zainab and her team! From day one, Zainab made us feel so comfortable and not stressed about this process. Her and her team reached out to us several times leading up to our wedding date to check on us, give us tips, and ask if we need anything. On the day of our wedding, Zainab and her team were timely, excited, and motivating. On such a stressful day, it was so nice to have positive energy around! Zainab knew exactly what she was doing and found us the best spot for our portraits and the best poses for our pictures. We felt so natural in our pictures!

Zainab's turnaround time for getting us our wedding gallery was about 3.5 weeks which is amazing. Most other photography services quoted us 6+ weeks. Even with this quick turnaround time, Zainab's photography and editing is unmatched. We are SO happy with our wedding gallery, and we just wish we could do our day all over again to get to work with Maha studios one more time!

THE Chicago wedding photographer

Maha Studios’ Zainab is a household name when it comes to Chicago wedding photography. She has photographed two weddings in my family, one of which was mine. Working with her is nothing short of incredible. She is warm, kind, patient and reliable. She navigates the chaos of the quintessential desi Muslim wedding with absolute confidence and grace; a certain kind you only see in photographers like her who have been perfecting their craft for over a decade. I always encourage friends and acquaintances who are planning their weddings to not skimp out on photography; we are prone to forgetting that photos quite literally preserve our fondest memories. Zainab is easily the first and sometimes the only person I recommend to people looking for the highest quality experience. When you choose to partner with her, you can do it with the peace of mind that she and her hand-picked associates are going to give you something worth more than what you paid for. This is why my family asked her to come back. Zainab is THE Chicago wedding photographer. Thank you for being wonderful.

Excellent photography skills

We had an excellent experience working with Maha Studios! We hired her both for our engagement photo shoot, sangeet, wedding ceremony, and reception! We have enlarged several of her photos and are truly pleased with the moments she captured, not to mention the bright, vivid colors!!!
