    The best investment we made

    Safeena was a dream to work with from start to finish and she captured the day beautifully. My hope for my wedding photos was to look at them and remember the overwhelming love and joy I felt on my wedding day. Safeena over delivered- I absolutely love our photos.

    When I was choosing a photographer, it was important to me to hire someone who would be comfortable and fun to be around all day (because you really do spend all day with your photographer). This stress was relieved when I booked Safeena. She and her team turned the unpleasant prospect of getting my photo taken for 8 hours into an easygoing, fun experience and one of my favorite aspects of the day .

    Incredible!

    Safeena is one of the most intentional, personal, and creative photographers I have worked with! She doesn't settle for simple or what has been done before, she goes above & beyond! We feel so lucky to have worked with her, and to now be her friends!

    She’s the best!

    Choosing Safeena was the best decision we made. From communication to day of details, she made everything so easy and was very accommodating to our schedule and needs. My partner and I were very nervous on the day of our engagement session but it really felt like just hanging out with a friend holding a camera - haha! The pictures turned out beautiful and I'm so excited for our wedding.

    Hire her, plain & simple

    My now-wife and I had the absolute pleasure of having Safeena document our wedding in Yosemite.

    Here what you need to know: hire her. Plain and simple. She and her team are incredibly considerate, kind, down-to-earth people who will make you feel comfortable and like you’ve known them for ages. This is exactly what you want on your wedding day. Oh by the way, her work is second to none coming from an experienced wedding photographer.

    Full story: For context, my wife and I are former wedding photographers that have shot over 100 weddings so choosing a photographer was the question that I was asked THE MOST during our planning.

    After interviewing a few photographers we eventually met Safeena. Her work is stunning, full of emotion and genuine. Schedules didn’t let us meet in person but we spoke through face time and knew we would be a good fit.

    Our first time meeting face to face was wedding morning. Pouring rain in Yosemite and she guided us through the day when we needed and graciously gave us space when appropriate. We met up later in the week for a post wedding portrait session in Yosemite and it was as if the 3 of us had been friends for years. Our session was smooth, she prompted us when necessary and was more than willing to be adventurous with us.

    Our photographs came out amazing, but more importantly the experience we had with her exceeded even the photos. We could not be more thankful to have had her document and be a part of our day and story.

    Look no further, the best wedding photographer!

    We worked with Safeena for our wedding and engagement photos and I mean WOW! We looked into a few photographers for our wedding but her photos were just so amazing, we knew she was it for us. She is able to capture a photo like no other and capture me and my husband in a way we will cherish forever. She's extremely easy to work with, has great energy and put us at ease during what can be a crazy time aka your wedding day. Her photos 100% speak for themselves, book her!

    Total professional

    Safeena was absolutely wonderful to work with. My husband and I reached out to Safeena after finding her work online and through referrals. We looked at a lot of portfolios but her work really stood out. Her planning, prepping, concepting, and walking us through the process beforehand helped us feel at ease and made the day of a breeze. She and her on site assistant were always able to capture the right moments of spontaneity, and Safeena did a wonderful job organizing group photos in a way that didn’t feel forced or cliché. We couldn’t be happier with the photos. We would love to work with her again when the big anniversaries come up!

    Excellence!

    Safeena was absolutely wonderful to work with. Months prior to our wedding date, we reached out to Safeena after finding her work online and through referrals. She was very easy to work with and was very patient and understanding as we shared our vision of our wedding day. Her planning, prepping, concepting, and walking us through the process beforehand helped us feel at ease and made the day of a breeze. She and her on site assistant were always able to capture the right moments of spontaneity, and Safeena did a wonderful job organizing group photos in a way that didn’t feel forced or cliché. After the big day, Safeena gave us full access to the photos, and the prints we ordered came out beautifully. We would love to work with her again when the big anniversaries come up!

    Safeena is amazing!

    Safeena's photography and editing skills are pure magic! My husband and I first booked Safeena in early 2019. She stuck with us for 2.5 years through all the pandemic madness and accommodated our postponement so gracefully. My husband and I are not the most photogenic people on the planet but Safeena and Conrad somehow caught all the right moments of joy, tears, love, and so much more. Both Safeena and Conrad have the best personalities. They were so easy-going, calm, and the opposite of every other wedding photographer I have met on this planet...which we absolutely loved. Truly wonderful people! Safeena made the whole process so easy from booking to postponing to planning to delivery. If you want someone who can capture every moment of your wedding day in the most beautiful way, stop your wedding photographer search now and book Safeena while you can! She is the best!

    Amazing experience and photos!

    This is a long overdue review for really fantastic work from Safeena! My now-husband and I contacted her back in February 2020 when we were thinking the whole pandemic would end in a couple of weeks. Even with the looming restrictions on the wedding industry and everything else that was popping up, Safeena was flexible and open to all the different ideas we had laid out for our wedding. We did have some radio silence for a little when the whole world started to go a little haywire, but reconnected towards the end of 2020 when we decided to do our engagement shoot and wedding all within 6 months. This is where Safeena’s flexibility really shined through! During our engagement shoot, she made us feel very comfortable since we are not comfortable taking a lot photos. The comfort we felt during the shoot really showed through the final picture gallery she sent us and we are so happy to finally have (plenty) of photos of us looking natural and not so stiff. For our home wedding, Safeena captured our moments so perfectly and the photos came out amazing! Whenever we do decide to hold our big wedding reception, I would not hesitate to call Safeena up for her to be our photographer again!

    One of a kind photographer

    Safeena is absolutely amazing. She has a way of blending in and is able to capture the most precious moments, moments I didn’t know anyone was watching. Those moments were captured in some of my favorite photos.

    For our couple shots, Safeena played music and made us feel so comfortable. Our joy on our wedding day and our love for one another was captured perfectly.

    Due to Covid, we had a very small wedding. She was extremely flexible with our constantly changing plans and made sure to check on us as well. We had the best time taking photos with her and the result was magical. The pictures were even better than we could have imagined. Safeena’s on the deliveries was also impeccable—for both previews and for the full set. She is a one-of-a-kind human and a one-of-a-kind photographer.

    Saf is the best!

    Safeena is above and beyond amazing. Her images are magical and our photos are even more beautiful than we could have dreamed. But more importantly Safeena herself is so personable and made us feel so comfortable (even my husband who does NOT like taking photos). After shooting with her, she's become a friend, and we're still in touch today, over a year later. She also knows the best spots to take the most stunning photographs and captures all the lovely intimate moments between a couple. I can't say enough good things about her and her business! Do yourself a favor and hire her for your engagement/wedding/elopement now!

    Professional, artistic, authentic photos

    We booked Safeena for our wedding photography and have absolutely no regrets. It was important to us to not just capture the day, but really the feeling of our wedding and real emotions. Not only does she manage to put human feelings into photos, but her photos are artistic and gorgeous. She worked with us to location scout a beautiful area in Malibu for engagement photos and is always down for an adventure and discovering new locations. Safeena makes her sessions easy, fun, relaxing and low stress. Her cues help make even the most uncomfortable in front of the camera look like people who have been modeling their whole lives. Our sessions were truly so fun and we are planning on using her for future photo sessions!

    If only we could have endless photoshoots with Safeena

    My husband and I knew that our photographer was the most important vendor we were going to book for our wedding. Safeena did not disappoint! While we interviewed several other photographers, Safeena was the only one that showed us a great level of professionalism as well as appreciation for not just what we were looking for, but who we were. We're not naturals in front of the camera by any means, but Safeena managed to break our walls down and captured our relationship beautifully.

    She's professional, crazy talented, adventurous, and an overall kind and genuine soul. Do yourself a favor and book Safeena, she's nothing short of amazing!

    Amazing Photographer, Amazing Person

    Safeena was an amazing photographer. She really went above and beyond for us and we 100% recommend her. She is professional and kind and has a great eye. We received a few preview photos back so far and they are absolutely perfect. She even went to a walk through at our venue for us because we are from out of town. Kind and professional Cannot recommend her enough!

    The Sweetest Photographer to spend your day with

    Safeena is amazing. We probably interviewed 5-6 photographers and emailed like 10. She was our favorite. The quality of her work compared to the others was well worth the price (not to say she is expensive; her prices are very fair and well itemized). She worked with us to shoot 2 days: Day 1 for the Tea Ceremony and Day 2 for the Wedding. Her outdoor work is phenomenal but we had a completely indoor wedding venue and she killed it in that arena too. That difference might have been our only concern initially but she did really well. She even stayed an extra hour the night of. Could not have asked for a kinder, sweeter, and more talented person to have spent those 48 hours with. Now that the wedding's over I would say the biggest thing in a photographer is 1) the quality of their work 2) their professionalism and promptness and 3) them as person and do you want to spend your entire wedding with them. I would say she excelled in all points and was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

    Simply Perfect

    Safeena took our engagement photos and I really can't express how amazing they turned out. I had a vague vision of what I wanted and she totally took it and made it in to a masterpiece! We had to reschedule multiple times because of fires in the area and she was so calm and cool about it. She gave us an opportunity to pick our favorites for her to fully edit and then offered us beautiful prints as well as a larger gallery style print that is still one of my favorite things I own. Not only are her photos amazing- she herself is so wonderful and easy to be with. My husband is not a fan of getting his photo taken but she directed us in such a way that made it feel totally natural and at ease- and brought along a speaker so we could just have a chill soundtrack for our beautiful cliffside Malibu shoot. It felt more like a really fun and romantic date than a photoshoot. Seriously masterful. I honestly can't recommend Safeena enough- beautiful photos, wonderful human- my only regret is that I didn't fly her to Colorado to shoot my wedding too.

    Safeena Noah Is Absolutely Incredible

    Safeena shot both our engagement and wedding photos, and I can fully attest that I absolutely could not have found a better photographer. She is professional, exceptionally talented, and one of the kindest people you could ever hope to meet. Trust me, you do not need to look any further.

    The absolute best

    This gal can make absolutely everyone look like an ethereal starlet. Safeena is an incredible lady to work with- hilarious, authentic, and genuinely SO nice. Her gallery of photos speaks for itself. She prioritizes the depths of who the couple is and somehow embodies them perfectly within natures most beautiful environments. She's truly got a knack for capturing the gravity of moments in the midst of so much commotion. I recommend her to literally everyone who is recently engaged and will most definitely continue to do so!

    Safeena captured the true emotion of our wedding. At times she was a ninja, popping up at the perfect moment, getting the candid shots we were hoping for. When it was time to get posed shots, the shots on her very organized list, she was a polite boss and a total professional. She has a technique to make sure nobody blinks and an air about her that makes everyone comfortably smile. We cant stop looking at the photos from our weekend. She made us look fabulous!

    Ok so... Here it goes. I am a wedding photographer from New Orleans, LA. I looked high and low for a photographer who I felt an emotional connection to when I looked at their photos. When I found Safeena, I just knew she was the one I wanted to capture my day. She is more than just a photographer, she is a true artist, a small sweet soul who follows you around and somehow manages to make you look like you and your fiance are in a fairytale. She captures what love feels like. I could go on and on about all the reasons to book with Safeena, but I will just say, if you look at her photos like I did, and feel love... Then you've already made your decision, so go ahead and make it official. I owe her and her wonderful second photographer so much for their hard work and breath-taking artistry.

    Safeena is everything you could ever want in a photographer! She is attentive, endearing, she cares about your vision and she makes sure that she is the perfect fit for you. She's not in a rush to just take your money, she really gets to know you and your fiancé and speaking with her before booking made me 50 times more excited for my big day! Don't even hesitate, just book her! EDIT TO ADD: Safeena and her team made my wedding day amazing. She felt like an old friend the moment I met her, her calm and sweet demeanor put everyone at ease. She creates stunning photos effortlessly and I can't imagine what my day would have looked like captured through anyone elses' eyes. I myself, am a wedding photographer, so you can imagine how particular I am... I am seriously blown away by every single image I've seen so far! Safeena was the BEST decision my fiancé and I made for our wedding day!!

    We can't say enough good things about Safeena. She is incredibly talented - our family and friends can't stop raving about our wedding photos, and we can't stop looking at them! She was able to capture the feeling and atmosphere of the day, and nothing looks posed or forced. She somehow manages to get the perfect shots of the littlest moments. My husband and I joke that she will cost 3x as much in a few years, and we're lucky we snagged her now! On top of that, she's incredibly sweet, kind, and funny. She felt like a best friend, and went out of her way to make us feel comfortable on our wedding day. She even made time for us to do a re-shoot after we missed our couples' photo time because of a medical emergency. In short, Safeena is the BEST and you should hire her right now!!!

    Capturing the Beauty of the Moment!

    One of the best decisions we made for our wedding day! We were referred to Safeena by a friend, and we were compelled to reach out because of her photo journalism background and her heart for capturing real, authentic moments (over pretty, staged pictures). And, that is exactly what she delivered on our Big Day! We have so many beautiful photos --- beautiful because she really captured us, along with amazing moments with our family and friends. Her work is stunning, and we would hire her again in a heartbeat!
