About

Hello and thank you for viewing my WeddingWire page. My name is Neezar Samara and I'm an International Lifestyle Wedding Photographer based in San Francisco Bay Area. I have photographed weddings for over 10 years and been fortunate and honored to take my photography services to exotic destinations, such as a 12th century castle in Germany and to the beautiful sea view island of Santorini, Greece.

I hope my personal web and blog sites seek your interest in the style you are looking for. If so, then I hope to hear from you soon to discuss my wedding collections and services. Every client is different, therefore, each wedding collection package is customized to fit your wedding photography requirements.

TIPS:

The most important tip in searching for your wedding photographer is to be able to "connect" the first time you meet. If you are comfortable with your prospective photographer’s personality and style then you will be comfortable in being photographed. I cannot stress this enough.

Once you decide on who you want to photograph your wedding, then plan on doing an engagement session. For the client, it helps ease the nerves and you’ll know what to expect on the wedding day. For the photographer, it helps to know what you’re style is and to develop a relationship so that on your wedding day there’s a win-win situation. Every client I have worked with was glad to have an engagement session done.

Nezar is wonderful! My husband and I got married June 2014, and had the most amazing and peaceful time working with Nezar. Given all the planning and stress that goes in to a wedding, the fact that working with Nezar was actually peaceful was such a blessing! We knew that we were in good hands the entire time. The engagement shoot was so fun, and perfect practice for getting comfortable in front of the camera in order to take perfect wedding shots!

Pre-wedding, Nezar worked very closely with us to build a timeline for the day and helped guide us when we had questions about anything wedding-related. He also stuck to the timeline and arrived exactly when he said that he would, and stayed until the very end of the wedding to make sure he caught all of the reception!

On the wedding day, Nezar was such a joy to have around. It was very clear that he respected that this was our wedding day, and that he was there to capture it. He did not pressure us to move on from one thing to the next (like I have seen some wedding photographers do), he simply allowed us to get married and celebrate our marriage, and was there to take amazing pictures of it. He also made us feel amazing and totally comfortable when we were taking photos. He and his partner were both very professional, both in appearance and mannerisms. It was such a relief to not have to worry about making sure moments were caught on camera, because we knew that he would be there taking photos the entire time! And he caught EVERYTHING on camera, even moments that I didn't know happened (like my flower girl straightening out my dress after I walked down the aisle!).

He was also a pleasure to work with after the wedding, when we were designing our album. You can see for yourself on the website how amazing his work is, but that is really just the tip of the iceberg. The entire experience working with him was so wonderful, and I absolutely would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat.

The photography was the most important vendor hire for me aside from venue. I was going to have these photos for the rest of my life. You spend 12 months + planning such a huge day and it flies by so fast. There is no way to capture every detail and every moment. We were able to with quality photos. Neezar was far more flexible with timing than other photographers we interviewed. We heard a lot of if I get there at noon, I'm out by 6pm. We had beautiful photos. He is so knowledgeable with photography, the shots were incredible. He is innovative and personable as well. We had a great time with him. We did a full package including our engagement shots and were very comfortable with all he had to offer. He was truly the best we were going to get and I interviewed at least 12 photographers. I can not say enough wonderful things about his work! He will photographer all of our important life changing memories because I know he won't miss anything!

Neezar is simply amazing! From the first time we met him we knew he would be great to work with. From beginning to end he made the process very comfortable and easy, as if we had known him for years. On top of being a genuinely great person, his photos are exceptional. He is so enthusiastic, creative, and passionate, which shows in his work. All of our photos were beautiful and all the products he has to offer are of the highest quality. Neezar is very flexible and will work with you to make sure everything is perfect. He even spent the day with us a week after the wedding taking photos of us that we didn't have time for on our wedding day. One meeting with him and looking at his portfolio will have you sold!
