About

Capturing any wedding is more than photographing the events; it’s more than covering the rituals and making sure that every moment is distilled into the lens of the camera. Wedding photography is telling a story. This story, a love story, can only be told if the photographers look beyond the rich details and vibrant colors and find the soul of the wedding. The one solitary tear that graces the bride’s father’s cheek, the loving private glance exchanged between the couple, a laugh shared by close friends. We have been photographing weddings for over 4 years and what we have found is that while every photographer claims to have the best equipment, our claim to fame is our unique eye – one that sees you and the love that makes this marriage so special. We will find that love story and your album will be not simply a collection of photographs, but a journey through the best time of your life, a path woven through carefully selected photographs that find the moments that matter.

My husband and I had an amazing experience with Shayan Fotography! Fahim and Taz are both fantastic photographers and so easy to work with. With wedding planning stress, it’s helpful to have vendors who are responsive and make the work easier on the bride and groom. Shayan fotography did exactly that! They went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with all of our pictures. From our engagement shoots to the 4 am wedding shoots to the reception dances- they were prompt, professional and organized. My husband and I are in love with all of our pictures. We couldn’t have picked a better photographer!

To Shayan Fotography: Both Sanam and I wanted to say a huge thank you for making our wedding day and night truly amazing. Many people have commented on your professionalism, enthusiasm, and energy that you displayed throughout the entire day. It certainly made our lives much easier knowing that we were in good hands. We’d also like to say thank you very much for offering a military discount on your services, it really helped us. We are so happy and could not have wished for a better photography team.

To couples looking for a wedding photographer: Look no further than Shayan Fotography! After contacting Shayan and speaking with Fahim, we knew they were the team for us. We booked about 10 months prior to our wedding and Fahim was in constant contact with us until our wedding. It’s very stressful selecting wedding vendors, especially photography, and Fahim made our lives so much easier by knowing we didn’t have to worry if we made the right choice or not. Fahim, his wife Taz, and the team were absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Professional, efficient, friendly and, most importantly, took the most fabulous photographs of our engagement shoot and wedding. The engagement shoot allowed us to get to know Fahim and Taz, but more importantly, it showed us we needed to practice some poses, and he gave a lot of tips to help us get the shots we wanted. We had our wedding in early December and decided to do a “first look” and wedding party photos before the ceremony while it was still daylight. We are so happy we did this as it allowed us to enjoy more of our wedding and mingle with guests. We had a fairly large Persian wedding and Fahim and his team were there to capture every moment. We also booked the photo booth through Shayan. It was a HUGE hit. Fahim actually ordered a brand-new photo booth backdrop to match our silver/white wedding theme. Fahim and Taz went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. We’ll always be grateful!!

Hiring Fahim and his team was one of the best decisions we made! He came highly recommended by our wedding planner, and we couldn't have been more happy with the results. Fahim "disappears" into the background during the event, but is still front and center to get the best shots. Our pictures were beautiful, and his price:value ratio is quite high. VERY HAPPY. Hire Shayan Photography for your DMV wedding!

Shayan Fotography was absolutely fabulous. You can definitely count on them for capturing your special day. The husband and wife team bring in there creativity and capture the breathtaking moments. They are very responsive and professional even when things don’t go as planned. Since I had multiple ceromonies, they were very accommodating and did an incredible job of capturing the emotions of the ceremonies. I appreciated all the pictures of the guests having fun, the decorations and of course the dancing. Every time I look my pictures I’m taken back to that beautiful day. My entire family has used Shayan Fotography for not just for engagements and wedding ceremonies but also for other occasions.You will not be disappointed going with Shayan Fotography for your special day. Thank you!!

What a wonderful couple to work with! Fahim and Taz are extremely approachable, fun photographers who are devoted to making your day special. They were so flexible with my request for extra time taking more photos of my family and friends. They are also open to listening to your ideas and give feedback right away if you have a question. I highly recommend working with these two as they will do justice to your budget and your special requests :)

Shayan Fotography is literally the best!! We unfortunately had another vendor for our wedding and is a mistake that we have been SO SAD about because our pictures did not come out the way we wanted and so many moments were missed. We hired Shayan Fotography for our 1st Anniversary party and wanted to redo pictures and I cannot express how happy, excited, grateful, and any other word that describes how AMAZING the pictures turned out. Taz and Fahim were sooo responsive and they knew about our mishap with our wedding and they made sure that we got every shot we wanted. They really went out of their way to make sure we have such amazing and memorable pictures and just the entire experience of working with them the day of the event and even the days leading up to the event was just amazing. Their pictures (quality, lighting, angles etc.) are phenomenal. The pictures look like it could be in a magazine!! Fahim especially pays attention to such details and remembers who your family and important people are to make sure that he captures them. EVERYONE was so happy with the way the pictures came out and especially with how professional they were! At times you didnt even realize they were there because they are so non-intrusive but at the same time take these amazing shots!! We also got their photobooth and our friends have said that it is literally one of the best photobooths they have seen at any wedding or party!! Best backdrops and the quality of the pictures again are sooo good!! I have already recommended Shayan Fotography to my friends and all of them signed with them and have had so many requests for their info after seeing our pictures!! Thank you Shayan Fotography for giving me pictures that I can actually cherish forever and for being soooo amazing to work with! If you're looking for an amazing photography team, look no further! Everyone that has worked with them, all have said the same opinion as me!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
