  Thank you Salman! It was a pleasure spending both days with you and Maham! I loved your energy and the closeness of your families. Wherever life takes you both, I hope you both keep smiling like on your wedding day.

  The best wedding photographer!

  I cannot say enough about Maha studios. We are so grateful for Zainab and her team! From day one, Zainab made us feel so comfortable and not stressed about this process. Her and her team reached out to us several times leading up to our wedding date to check on us, give us tips, and ask if we need anything. On the day of our wedding, Zainab and her team were timely, excited, and motivating. On such a stressful day, it was so nice to have positive energy around! Zainab knew exactly what she was doing and found us the best spot for our portraits and the best poses for our pictures. We felt so natural in our pictures!
  
  Zainab's turnaround time for getting us our wedding gallery was about 3.5 weeks which is amazing. Most other photography services quoted us 6+ weeks. Even with this quick turnaround time, Zainab's photography and editing is unmatched. We are SO happy with our wedding gallery, and we just wish we could do our day all over again to get to work with Maha studios one more time!

  Thank you Haya! Seriously I could not stop photographing you both. I loved the jokes Mohsin was cracking and it truly was a pleasure seeing how happy you both make each other. Keep in Touch!

  One of the best in Chicago!

  Where do I even begin! Maha Studios is professional, passionate, punctual, and talented. I have had the pleasure of working with them on multiple events over the past several years. They have sent me countless photos of our decor and every time I receive them, I am absolutely blown away! The quality of photos is one of the best I have seen. I wish they could take all my event photos. I love that they take every event very seriously. I have noticed they arrive early and take pride and care in all their equipment and work. They also send me pictures in a timely manner, sometimes even much earlier than anticipated. They are constantly looking to push their boundaries and creativity. Not to mention, Zainab, the lead photographer is super sweet and down to earth. Their team means business and you can feel that they are their to give their 110%. I would highly recommend them to any of my clients and anyone looking to hire a photo/video team. Maha Studios is one of Chicago's best!

  Macaron photography!

  always Loved Zainabs work and wanted to do a full photoshoot with the family. With the lockdown though, we managed product photography and I didn't know you could get such a variety of pics from just a few macarons! Love it and would highly recommend her for product photography as well as portrait/event photos

  THE Chicago wedding photographer

  Maha Studios’ Zainab is a household name when it comes to Chicago wedding photography. She has photographed two weddings in my family, one of which was mine. Working with her is nothing short of incredible. She is warm, kind, patient and reliable. She navigates the chaos of the quintessential desi Muslim wedding with absolute confidence and grace; a certain kind you only see in photographers like her who have been perfecting their craft for over a decade. I always encourage friends and acquaintances who are planning their weddings to not skimp out on photography; we are prone to forgetting that photos quite literally preserve our fondest memories. Zainab is easily the first and sometimes the only person I recommend to people looking for the highest quality experience. When you choose to partner with her, you can do it with the peace of mind that she and her hand-picked associates are going to give you something worth more than what you paid for. This is why my family asked her to come back. Zainab is THE Chicago wedding photographer. Thank you for being wonderful.

  I loved how much the entire team was willing to adapt to time changes, additional guests, and an overall crazy environment. What more can you really ask for?

  Excellent photography skills

  We had an excellent experience working with Maha Studios! We hired her both for our engagement photo shoot, sangeet, wedding ceremony, and reception! We have enlarged several of her photos and are truly pleased with the moments she captured, not to mention the bright, vivid colors!!!

  Thank you so much Anjali and Sameer for this wonderful review. I am glad you enjoyed the photos and that you get to cherish them on your walls and in the photo album I made for you! I really wish you both continued joy, success and growth!

  Zainab is a true professional and has an eye for photography. I am a big fan of Maha Designs (look it up on Facebook). I am not used to being in front of the camera and am quite camera shy, but you know you're in good hands when Zainab steps behind the camera. She'll guide you to what you should do so you don't have to worry about a thing and is very friendly to work with. Her final results speak for themselves and her ever growing fans on Facebook can attest to that fact. I highly recommend her!

  It was an absolute pleasure working with Maha Designs. I highly recommend them for doing photography for your special event. Zainab is very professional and the best thing is that she listens and is patient with us. She has a wonderful and very sweet assistant as well and they work very well together. I can't wait for the next event in my life so I can have her do my pictures again!

  I loved my wedding pictures, both candid and posed. The photographer was very friendly and accommodating. Be sure to introduce her to your mom/sister/best friend if it's a big wedding (like the usual south Asian wedding) so she can be informed about the closest family and friends, and can focus the shots on them a little more.

  Zainab is a dear friend of mine and a fabulous photographer. Her non intrusive style of photography is impeccable and her "candids"took my breath away. She managed to capture the emotions of family and friends during pivotal moments of the wedding, and told a story through her photography. Her professionalism and cordiality shined through the moment I met her. I cannot emphasize enough the uniqueness of Zainab's photography, and she will always exceed your expectations! :)
  
  Love you Zainab!

  Anytime I hear someone is getting married in Chicago I ask if they booked MAHA DESIGNS yet?! My husband and I had such a good time working with Zainab. She was easy-going and was able to capture some absolutely stunning shots of us on our special day.
  
  Zainab was professional but personal. I'm extremely camera shy but I honestly felt like I was just hanging out with her.
  
  We ended up getting the pictures within a couple of weeks! I was really eager to see what she captured so she even sent us a couple of teasers.
  
  Zainab, thank you so much!

  Maha Designs is awesome! From getting to know who which family member is, regulating the way poses will be made, and having the photos giving very quickly! My favorite part was all of the Kodak Moments that were captured. This was done very well. She did an amazing job from beginning until end and definitely see this photography company going far with the quality of images pictures. :-)
