We love you, WSS!!!

It was an absolute joy working with the entire WSS team, we cannot say enough positive things!!! Sana and Isha are so professional and responsive. They took care of all coordination, logistics, and questions from start to finish. We absolutely loved working with Deepesh and Ali throughout our wedding weekend. They are so incredibly talented, patient, kind, hardworking, and creative. We had an absolute blast working with them. Their work is beyond stunning. Our photo gallery and edited videos blew us away! We love you, Deepesh and Ali!!! Thank you so much. Our wedding weekend was captured so beautifully and we cannot recommend WSS enough!

WSS truly was one of our favorite vendors of our wedding. They are so kind, flexible, passionate and have a beautiful and incredible vision. They captured our wedding perfectly and saved our most priceless memories. We truly cannot describe how happy we are with their work!! From our first meeting with them they were dedicated to make our vision come to life and we are so thankful for all the work they have done for us. We are beyond thrilled and satisfied and we hope that every couple gets the opportunity to work with them :)

The best!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about WSS! Booking them for our wedding was hands down one of the best decisions we made.

Our first point of contact with the team was Sana, and she is incredible. From the very beginning, she was extremely responsive, organized, and thorough. She took the time to answer our million questions before we even booked and made the entire process feel so easy. I knew right away that we were in great hands!

And of course, their work speaks for itself. When we first looked through their Instagram and portfolios, I couldn’t have been more impressed. Their photos are absolutely beautiful, but what really stood out to me was the way they capture an entire story rather than simply taking pretty pictures. There is so much emotion and intention behind their work, which was exactly what we wanted for our wedding.

We were assigned to Deepesh and his team, and they were INCREDIBLE!! I also have to give Sana credit because it is very clear that she takes each couple’s personality and vision into consideration when assigning the team. Deepesh was the perfect fit for us.

We first worked with Deepesh during our pre-wedding shoot, and I left feeling so confident and excited to have him photograph our wedding. If you are a Type A bride, you NEED someone like Deepesh! He takes initiative, pays attention to the details, and goes above and beyond to make sure he understands exactly what shots and moments are important to you. On the wedding day, I never felt like I had to worry about whether something was being captured because I completely trusted him and his team.

Robin was our second photographer and was also amazing to work with. He and Deepesh worked so well together, and having both of them there made me feel even more confident that everything we wanted was being captured throughout the day.

Vatsal, our videographer, was wonderful as well. Not only was he there to capture our day, but he also made a point to get to know me during the little moments of downtime throughout the wedding. It was such a small thing, but it really stood out to me and showed how genuinely kind and personable he was. Everyone on the team made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire day.

We had such a great experience with WSS from beginning to end, and I cannot wait to see our wedding photos and videos. I’m so happy we chose them!

Great Wedding Photographers

Working with Wedding by Shooting Stars for both our pre-wedding shoot and our full wedding celebration was easily one of the best decisions we made for our big day. From our very first consultation through the final deliverables, the entire team delivered an exceptional experience that exceeded our expectations.

Our lead photographer, Jess, was phenomenal. We initially booked a pre-wedding shoot that unexpectedly took longer due to the slowdown of our legal marriage ceremony in New York City. Jess adapted on the fly with incredible grace, making what could have been a hectic moment feel intimate, joyful, and completely effortless. The photos from that NYC shoot blew us away; they were strikingly creative, colorful, and vibrant, capturing the energy of the city alongside genuine, authentic emotion.

That high level of care carried right into our wedding and reception. Leading up to the big day, the team hosted numerous planning sessions, creative meetings, and inspiration discussions. They did not just ask for a generic shot list; they took the time to understand our personal aesthetic, talk through visual references, and build a timeline that allowed us to actually enjoy our wedding without feeling glued to a camera lens.

On the wedding day itself, Jess and the crew were a dream to have around. They brought a fun, calm, and flexible energy that instantly put us and our families at ease. Whenever schedule shifts or unexpected moments popped up, they adjusted seamlessly without missing a beat or sacrificing shot quality.

The pricing is on the higher end, but based on our experience, every single penny was worth the investment. You are paying for peace of mind, immaculate organization, top-tier professionalism, and artwork you will cherish for decades. If you are looking for a photography and videography team that combines vivid, creative artistry with genuine warmth and flexibility, we cannot recommend Jess, Sana and the Wedding by Shooting Stars team enough.

Rain or shine, WSS captured every perfect moment

From our very first conversation with WSS, we knew we had found the right photography team. Sana made us feel completely at ease from day one, took the time to understand our vision, and made the entire planning process feel collaborative and personal. That initial connection is what convinced us that WSS was the perfect fit for us.

Our pre-wedding shoot was an amazing experience in itself. A special shout-out to Jess, who drove down for four hours to the exact location we had envisioned and spent the day getting to know us, making us feel comfortable in front of the camera. It never felt like a photoshoot, it felt like spending time with a friend who genuinely wanted to capture our story. The entire experience was thoughtfully customized around what mattered most to us.

Our wedding day brought unexpected rain, but the WSS team never let it dampen the experience. Jess and Robin went above and beyond to make sure we still got beautiful photographs, adapting effortlessly while keeping us relaxed and focused on enjoying the day. They were there through every part of the celebration—from capturing quiet moments while we got ready with our families to joining us on the dance floor to document all the joy and energy of the evening. Every interaction with the team felt warm, professional, and genuinely caring.

A heartfelt thank you to Sana for making us feel confident in choosing WSS from the very beginning, and to Jess for being such an incredible and fun partner throughout our journey. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to document the most important day of our lives. We would recommend WSS without hesitation to any couple looking for photographers who are not only exceptionally talented but also deeply invested in making your experience unforgettable.

The best photographers in the business!

The attention to detail as well as partnership from the weddings by shooting stars team during our wedding weekend was simply unmatched. We knew we made the right decision from our engagement shoot as those pictures came out stunning. Having a two day wedding got tiring at times and Deepesh (owner) and his team made things fun and kept us going with humor throughout the weekend. They made sure to catch the intimate, thoughtful as well as silly moments, and we can’t wait to see the final product. They take multiple pictures and make sure to capture all of the important people, not just close family. We would recommend them over and over again!

Highly Recommend!

It was a pleasure working with Weddings By Shooting Stars (WSS). From the beginning, the team was highly responsive, especially Sana. They designed a package that perfectly aligned with our needs. It was easy to coordinate our pre-wedding shoot with our main photographer, Mandar. The shoot came out amazing and we got such great feedback from friends and family about those pictures.

Mandar was also our photographer for our wedding weekend (doing the pre-wedding shoot with the same photographer helped him understand our style and we were comfortable working with him.) During such a demanding weekend schedule, he made the photoshoots easy. His skill in posing us allowed us to be fully in the moment and not worried about what we were doing in the photos.

Our videographer, Kartik, also provided very helpful suggestions. Kartik did a great job capturing our ceremony and sangeet performances.

Mandar and Kartik were very fun to be around. It was refreshing to work with them since they kept the mood light and made us laugh during each shoot.

We would highly recommend WSS to anyone looking for high quality photography for their wedding!

Amazing team and beautiful results!

We had a great experience working with Weddings by Shooting Stars for our wedding. The team was professional, organized, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. They made us and our families feel really comfortable during all the events, which made a huge difference. Loved how the photos and videos turned out. They did a great job capturing both the big moments and all the smaller candid moments from the weekend. Everything felt very natural to us, and we’re so happy to have these memories captured so beautifully. Would definitely recommend them!

Dhara & Niraj Wedding Weekend

WSS was our top photo/video team from the very beginning, and we’re so happy we ended up working with them for our wedding! 😊

Working with Deepesh was honestly one of the most enjoyable experiences. He’s fun, easygoing, and has a way of making you feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, so nothing ever felt awkward or forced. The energy he brought to every shoot & event made the whole process feel natural and enjoyable.

We got married in Colorado and did a shoot at Garden of the Gods, and Deepesh absolutely nailed it. He found the coolest spots that we never would’ve discovered on our own and knew exactly how to use the scenery to make every shot look stunning. Those photos ended up being some of our favorite pictures from the entire weekend!

The entire WSS team was incredible to work with. Everyone was so warm, helpful, and genuinely excited for us that by the end of the wedding weekend, they honestly felt like family. Even after the wedding, WSS has continued to be amazing — super responsive with edits and feedback on our videos, and always so easy to talk to.

We still go back and look at our photos and videos all the time, and our friends and family constantly rave about the highlight film! ✨

We couldn’t recommend WSS enough!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
