    Best photographer ever

    Perfection start to finish. Naba really knows how to capture an intimate wedding and she did just that for us getting photo and video start to finish including our dogs and our cake. She was there with us the whole way and honestly our day wouldn't have been the same without her, 1000 stars.

    The best photos of our lives

    My husband and I knew we wanted good photos for our wedding, it was our most important budget item. When we were looking up photographers, I sent him a list of over a dozen that I liked and told him to use his artistic eye and pick. Out of all of the ones I preferred, Naba's portfolio was the only one who matched our exact aesthetic, composition, and professionalism that we wanted. Not only that, but she is the most bubbly, cheerful, and phenomenal person that we're lucky to have in our lives. Hire her immediately, full stop, we were so incredibly lucky to have her expertise for our wedding.

    The absolute best, I would recommend her in every lifetime!

    Naba,

    From the absolute bottom of our souls thank you so, so much for capturing the rainbow of emotions and moments from our wedding. I can’t even begin to express our deepest gratitude for all the running around, hiking, time, effort, commitment, talent, and dedication you put into this absolutely JAW-DROPPING AWE-INSPIRING GENUINE AND BEAUTIFUL AS HECK FILM. From the vloggy bits that made me grateful for the kindness and magnificence of the girl behind the camera, to all of the funny jokes and laughter, the aura of the venue, the people, the food, the entire full ass speeches (literally bless you, thank you 1000x for that), and last but never ever least, the STUNNING DAY-AFTER BIT THAT GIVES ME GOOSEBUMPS AND TEARS EVERY TIME (the music truly gets me). I could actually talk about every second for ages, but I will spare you the rest. I’ve sat a few people down to show them various parts, and literally every one of them has willingly and pleadingly watched the whole 40 flipping fantastic minutes (UM ALSO 40 MINUTES, can we talk about that Mrs.15minutes?! That is unreal). I got together with my friends the other evening for movie night and we ended up watching the entire wedding video instead bc it’s just that freaking good. My best friend who has probably watched half the public wedding videos on the planet could not stop cursing, saying this is the best she’s ever witnessed and that there will never be another created like it. Honestly, Naba, you took my very rough vision and turned it into a keepsake Saif and I will hold onto and adore for the rest of our lives, so thank you, thank you forever. Allah has crafted an extraordinary gem of magnanimity, beauty, and brilliance in you, and we are ever-indebted to you for sharing it with us.

    Absolutely Amazing!!!

    We are in the very early stages of planning our wedding, but knew that good photography was a top priority. I found Naba through Instagram and immediately started crying when I saw her pictures. I contacted her the same day and she got back to me within a couple of hours! Not once have I felt anything less than a friend, and I hadn't met her until this past weekend. She took photos of my fiance and me on Saturday, and we got the pictures three days later! We were totally comfortable with her form the get-go, and she took the most breathtaking pictures despite the rain during our shoot. I would spend hours in the rain for this amazing human, and I can't wait to book her for our wedding! Do not hesitate to contact Naba, she is a one of a kind!

    Such an incredible human

    Not only is Naba the most incredible photographer but she is an amazing human being who makes the entire experience SO MUCH FUN. She takes the time to get to know you and it shows in the photos she captures. Naba took both our engagement and wedding photos and I already know she will take our future prego and family photos. She has such a badass style and goes above and beyond to edit them to perfection. My husband and I thought we were going to be so awkward but she made us feel so comfortable and we genuinely enjoyed spending time with her. We have made a friend for life. THANK YOU NABA WE LOVE YOU.

    Naba took us to the jetties in Panama City Beach she showed up 15 minutes early and was ready to go as soon as we got there. During the shoot Naba was very accommodating even took us out and into the water for pictures. She made me and my fiance feel comfortable and was like spending time with out friend rather than a stranger. Even with the bad lighting our pictures turned out amazing and we couldn't be any happier. Highly recommend her service she went above and beyond to make sure to we got the perfect shot and made the whole experience fun.

    Amazinggggggg

    I reached out to Naba to do a boudoir shoot as a wedding gift, I had met her through another photographer and fell in love with her style and artistic flare, plus she's got a bomb personality to accompany her photographic talent. I was so stoked she was on board to to the shoot but was also still little reluctant a nervous, Im a photographer myself and hate being in front of the camera! She made the shoot so fun and comfortable, I left feeling like "okay, this will be alright." I am super critical of myself, especially in photographs and I had set me mental goal to have 5 pictures I was happy with. Trying to keep the expectations reasonable and not get my hopes up cause usually Im just not a fan of pictures I'm in. OMG! THEY WERE ALL AMAZING! LIKE ALL OF THEM!!! I never imaged id end up with the catalog I did, and my fiance is gonna be so shocked. I cant say enough good things about this lady, she is so sweet, super fun and easy to work with and extremely talented. Hats off girl, like i need to go buy 10 more hats so i can take them all of in a salute to you. THANK YOU!!!!!

    With the love, talent, and professionalism that Naba provides, my family and I instantly fell in love. Not only does she stick to her word, but her talent outshines any other photographer that we have used in the past. Undoubtedly, Naba can deliver the magic that your happy moment deserves like she did for my sister's engagement.

    We stumbled upon Naba while looking for a photographer that could do our engagement photos. After our experience with her it was not by chance that we found her. Naba is absolutely amazing!!! She was so easy and fun to work with. Always promptly answered any questions we had. But there really wasn’t many because the process was simple. We met her at the coast and completely hit it off. The energy and ideas she brought made it so much fun. When we were finally able to see the final results we were in awe and couldn’t help but get emotional. If you are looking for a photographer keep looking. If you are looking for someone to capture the love, emotions and feelings you both feel for each other and do it in such an artistic and beautiful way. Stop looking!!! You found exactly what you are looking for. Thank you Naba for your help and can’t wait to work with you in the future. ❤️

    Picture perfect wedding ✨

    The BEST photographer I’ve ever used! Could not have asked for better! Naba did a picture perfect job with both our engagement session and our wedding! She’s a blast to work with and is so personable, making friends with you and whoever else tags along! If you’re in need of someone, Naba is your girl!!!

    She⠹s the bomb. Com

    Having Naba at your wedding is like having your bestie with you all day. Except she’s amazing behind the camera and will make you look the best you’ve ever looked. I wouldn’t pass this rare find up! She’s the best!

    Naba is literally the best! From her professionalism, to her expertise she really is so great to work with. When I hired Naba I had no clue that I’d be also hirin a friend, she makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera and gets so excited about you looking your best. Not to mention her photos are just absolutely gorgeous! There wasn’t one photo that I wasn’t obsessed with. You HAVE to book her for you engagement and wedding photos. You will not be disappointed

    Naba was incredible for our intimate wedding. Leading up to the wedding she was there 24/7 to answer all the questions I had about photography and any other random wedding questions. The day of the wedding she arrived early and stayed late. She is professional but all so fun to keep you comfortable and laughing all day. She captured moments that we had no idea that even happened and during the ceremony got EVERY angle, its like there was two of her taking pictures! She blended perfectly with out guests and we feel like we truly gained a friend not just a photographer. Our pictures got back to us was sooner than expected and are absolutely perfect. She is worth every single penny and so much more. WE LOVE NABA!

    We had a vision for this shoot and Naba delivered perfectly. We had a ton of fun, it felt more like hanging out with a friend than having a stranger take our pictures. We can’t believe she did the hard hikes it took to get to these locations. She even got her first bee sting and was a total trooper! And she drove 6 hours to get there and 6 hours to get back all in one day. We are so happy with the photos we got from her, top notch quality shooting!

    Naba Zabih is not only an excellent EXCELLENT photographer but also a great friend. She was willing to do a post-wedding photography session instead of a pre- because we already had other accommodations. In addition she spent a ton of time getting to know us and trying to peg exactly what we wanted on the day of our wedding. Her turn around time on the photos was excellent and they don't look hurried at all. The editting and diversity of the photos taken is nothing short of extraordinary. She got all the photos we wanted and even ones we didn't know we wanted. She showed up early to scope out the place and take extra photos and stayed late, she even helped with destressing my wife on our wedding day. We received from her nearly 900 unique and fully editted, high definition, and enhanced photos. We will only ever recommend Naba Zabih for anything and everyone 300.0/5.0 would have her again. ❤️❤️❤️

    Naba was incredible! We chose her based on her social media photos, we really liked her style. When we reached out to her we were definitely sold with her attitude! Naba responds quickly, and she is super fun! She obviously loves what she does. She made my husband and I feel very comfortable being photographed, which is something we are not used to. She spend a lot of time upfront getting to know us so we would feel more familiar with her when it was time to take photos, and I think that was really helpful for our comfort levels. She also took time to meet us at both the rehearsal dinner space and the wedding venue to see both places before the day of. She came early and stayed late, and most importantly, the photos are INCREDIBLE! I love the style, editing, and realness she was able to capture. Naba must be very fast too - because it was just her, but she somehow managed to capture all angles of our ceremony and reception! Our wedding venue even got her number after to be able to give to people getting married in the future as a recommendation because they enjoyed working with her as well. I highly recommend Naba for your wedding or event, she was wonderful and professional in every way. Thanks Naba!!

    She is an amazing photographer! She tries her best to comfort us when we took our engagement photos! (I was super nervous). Also, she is very friendly so whenever I talk to her, I felt like I talk to my best friend. Please please trust me, you will not regret if you want her as your photographer. She is the one and only best photographer I ever met! Of course her photos are BOMB!

    Oh where to start with little miss Naba Zabih..... I am her photo mama so I may be a little bias but this girl is a pure badass. Being a wedding photographer myself, and Naba's original Mr. Miyagi, I am not only a very happy customer of her but a proud friend too! Wedding photography is no joke, so you can't just hire any joe-shmo, that shit is forever, so hire The Naba for sure!! So far she has shot my boudoir, family portraits, engagement and of course our Vegas elopement!! I couldn't have picked anyone better, I would recommend this girl a million times over! Our pictures are IN.CRED.I.BLE!!!! and so is she!

    To say Naba is an amazing photographer is an understatement. I never like myself in photos because of my double chin so I made sure to tell naba to try to capture good angles lol well, with all of the wedding chaos, she didn’t forget, my wedding photos were way more than I expected and her editing style is one of a kind. She was very professional but still fun at the same time which made the vibe just perfect. No one wants to spend a bunch of money and their pictures come out horrible, but if I could do it all over again I would keep booking Naba(until I can’t afford it) because she really has a great eye. Anyone can pick up a camera but Naba knows all of the tricks to get photos that look like they were out of a magazine. Oh by the way, Naba also sent a wedding photo of ours to a company that has a magazine about loved and they wanted to see more pictures, so now they’re putting some of our photos in the magazine. That was completely unexpected but so amazing.

    Truly one of the most talented photographer and so skilled in editing to make these moments so much more special. She's so personable throughout the entire process and makes you feel as though you've known her for so long. She does an amazing job of learning about the couple and making them comfortable to become really intimate. I can go on and and on about how much we love her and her eye for beauty. <3 -Nina and Patrick (Wedding in December 16, 2017)

    If you’re a crazed bride who does a lot of research before booking any vendor, well look no further. We hired Naba for our engagement and wedding pictures. When we got our engagement pictures back, we already knew that we booked such a talented gal! We just got our pictures back and we are absolutely in love. In the first 20 minutes of meeting Naba, she will already give you that feeling that y’all have been friends forever and she’s very easy to communicate with. She’s very responsive, and is as excited for your big day as you are. I will recommend Naba as a photographer any chance I get
