When my partner and I were looking for a photographer for our wedding we looked at countless websites and hundreds of photos but we took a chance and reached out to a company we could have easily missed: Weddings by Shooting Stars. We almost passed them by because their website only featured South Asian weddings and neither my fiancé nor I are South Asian.

But there was something about the photos on their website that we really fell in love with. So vibrant, so beautiful, and so full of life!

So we reached out to them, not sure if they even did weddings for non-South Asian couples - let alone gay couples - but Deepesh and Sana could not have been kinder or more enthusiastic. “Yes! Of course! Let’s set up a time to talk by phone so you can tell us your story. We love a good love story! We also want to make sure we choose the right photographer from our staff. Someone who will be perfect for you guys. We want to understand who you guys are. We want to capture your story not just your pictures.”

They were great every step of the way. And they did, indeed, choose a terrific photographer for us. His name was Mandar and he was amazing. Kind, thoughtful, creative, easy to work with and the perfect balance of presence and unobtrusiveness. He made great suggestions, never interrupted the flow of events, and was very in tune with us and intuitive throughout the entire day. Something no one ever tells you about your wedding day is that the person you will spend the most time with, apart from your spouse, is the photographer! They are there every step of the way. So you really want to be sure they are a positive presence. Mandar was definitely that!

We were very lucky to have had such a beautiful wedding filled with amazing memories. Thanks to Deepesh, Sana, Mandar, and the team at Weddings by Shooting Stars we will be able to enjoy those memories for many years to come!

Thanks guys!

Deepesh and the team at Shooting Stars were absolutely amazing as our wedding photographer and videographer! From the moment we met Deepesh, we knew we were in great hands. He was so flexible and easy to work with, which made the whole process stress-free—a quality you really want in a vendor on such an important day.

Their creative use of angles and attention to detail brought every special moment to life. Looking at the photos and video feels like reliving the day all over again—every shot is just perfect! We couldn’t have asked for a better team to document our big day. Highly recommend Shooting Stars to anyone looking for professionalism, talent, and breathtaking memories.
