Best Experience for Maternity/Newborn Photos

As first-time parents, we used Upasana for our maternity and newborn photos and we couldn't recommend her more! She always responded quickly, offered advice for clothing and location choices, and made outdoor options available for COVID safety. She also never made us feel rushed during the shoots and was very patient with a slightly fussy newborn. Plus, the photos came out beautifully! Definitely would suggest Upasana to anyone looking to capture this special time.

Upasana Captured Every Detail Perfectly!

Our experience with Upasana was amazing. She is so talented and so much fun to work with. Prior to our wedding day, we did an engagement shoot in Central Park where we were able to get to know her and start to understand what an amazing eye she has. She knew every angle and paid attention to every detail and we are so appreciative and thankful for the beautiful photos we received. Leading up to the wedding, she was so responsive and answered our questions quickly and thoroughly. We can honestly say that because of Upasana and her team, our wedding day was more fun and went smoothly and on schedule. She is so poised, professional, and sweet and made sure to capture the photos we wanted and then more while navigating the culture, family, and traditions around an Indian fusion wedding with such grace. She delivered our preview quickly and we are floored and in awe by how beautiful the photos are. She captured every detail, tradition, and emotion so perfectly and I can’t stop looking at them and will treasure the memories that she was able to capture forever. Our wedding party and coordinator have all been raving about what a pleasure it was to work with Upasana and her team and of course about how beautiful the photos are. We are so beyond thankful that Upasana was there to capture our big day and would recommend her without hesitation.

Upasana was absolutely phenomenal. She was recommended to me by a friend and I immediately fell in love with her photos and style. From our first meeting, I instantly felt more like friends than a photographer-bride.

My 400+ wedding (Turkish - Uzbek wedding) had a lot of cultural parts to it and she captured it so well. She caught so many great shots and I barely remember seeing her the whole night! She did a fantastic job.

My entire wedding party and family could not stop complimenting her work from the beginning of the day until the very end. We were so lucky to have her. Her main goal is to create a beautiful day; not to earn a paycheck - you can tell how passionate she is about her work.

Please book her ASAP - you won't regret it!!!!

We loved every thing about our NY wedding, esp our photographer. We picked her from online reviews, journals, and pictures posted from her previous weddings. We did not meet her until the day of the Wedding, since we live in Alabama. We immediately fell in love with her professionalism, flexibility, and warming personality. She always made us feel comfortable when taking pictures. Our end results were beyond amazing, extremely detailed, and more than we ever imagined possible. Would recommend her to anyone.

We hired Upa on our wedding in September 2017 - we met with her several times prior to the wedding to discuss what we wanted and just to make sure we would get on at a personal level. Upa is very easy to work with & accommodating, we were very pleased with her photo's and the way she interacted with us during the wedding itself. We also ended up getting some engagement photo's through her and recently got our wedding pics back in a timely manner. Very pleased with her service!

Hiring Upasana as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made during our planning process. She was a true professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. We had a very tight timeline during our wedding day, and Upasana was able to wrangle our large families and take truly beautiful photos. She also is masterful at taking beautiful candid shots. Upasana helped us with our wedding day timeline giving us advice as to how long certain things would take. She was also prompt the day of our wedding, and was very quick to produce our online gallery. I can't recommend her enough!

We came across Upasana’s pictures on Instagram and really liked her style of photos, and we’re glad that she shot our engagement and wedding photos. She was very easy to work with, accommodating, and friendly. The final quality of the photos were just like what we saw in her portfolio and what we had hoped for / expected. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again in the future, and would highly recommend her to anyone else. Thanks Upasana!

Upasana did the engagement shoot and wedding photography for my Trenton Country Club wedding held back in April. I just received all of the wedding photos back yesterday and I cannot stop looking at them! She was extremely flexible and went with the flow when necessary, rearranging the schedule when one of my bridesmaids was late. She wanted to make sure we got the best photos possible and did a fantastic job editing them. Thank you so much Upasana!

We booked Upasana for our engagement photos. Not only are the pictures fantastic, but we had a lot of fun during the shoot as well. We felt very comfortable with Upasana from the moment we met her -- she is easy going, adaptable and professional. I love the look of our pictures, which can be described as artistic and natural. In addition to the photos, Upasana handled all the business aspects of the shoot expertly. For example, she responded to my numerous emails promptly, she provided us with our final pictures in a timely fashion (early actually!) and she was flexible in arranging the location/start time. All in all, we were very pleased and would utilize Upasana again.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
