    Best wedding experience!

    Writing as Kiran Mohiuddin - My Mehndi, wedding, and valima was in July of 2019 and they did the best decorations and photo and video. I received all my photo albums and movies within 2 months, but I did my part and selected the photos I wanted to create into an album as well. Thank you so much for doing the best job. Many people pay $$$ and receive low quality or no work at all so am very pleased with Syed's Studio

    Gorgeous Decor

    Shazia did a fantastic job with all of the decor for our Sangeet, Shaadi, and wedding reception. She dedicated hours on the phone with us to understand our ideas, customize designs to match our tastes, and offer her input on even the smallest details to make sure our events turned out exactly as we wanted. She was incredibly helpful and flexible throughout the process. And she turned our ideas into elegantly breathtaking designs. All the decor, particularly the mandap, was beautiful and left us and our guests thoroughly impressed. The decor easily made our wedding and we hands down recommend Shazia to anyone looking to elevate their event with spectacular decor.

    We chose Syed Studio’s to create a vibrant stage for our corporate event for our organization. Shazia has done an exceptional job. She has accommodated many of our requests. The first time we spoke to her, we wanted to do something simple, due to our budget. However with her recommendations we decided a special stage. Through out our process, Shazia has helped maintain my sanity. I had many details to cover for the event, but trusting Syed Studio’s to do our stage was the best decision. I am happy with the results provided at the day of the event, and hope to work with them again. I can’t thank them enough.

    Quality service and a reasonable price. All my friends who attended the wedding are in awe with the pictures. The album that we ordered came out very good too and we are very happy with our decision to choose Syed's studio for our wedding and reception on Jan 15-16, 2015. Now, waiting on the album cover.

    Not to forget, we also did the decoration from them. Kiran Creations did an excellent job. My relatives and friends still praise the decoration we had in the reception when they see the pictures and videos.

    This is Syed's Studio. I would like to write a review for a comment/review that was posted up for a wedding on september 4th. Well I just want to let everyone know that we DONOT do weddings in RAMADAN, and infact september 10th of last year was our holy holiday of EID. So whoever posted that comment up, is truly responsible for their cruel deeds and highly motivated to bring us down as a scoail reputation of being one of the best in Indian wedding photography and videography. I'm sure that there are many other competetiors around, but this is just an extremly cheap way to get back. We strive our hardest to priovide great work for all our customers, and will continue doing so. ~Syed's Studio

    Plus. I did't know what to "rate" us, so I'm sure all of you have your own opinions but I just clicked 5 out of 5 for the heck of it. Thank You so much

    Shame on all who have put Syed Studio down for the wrong reasons. I rate Syed Studios 5 out of 5 for exceptional and superb photography. You have given me the best wedding albums I have ever seen! There is nobody who has a more beautiful, creative, unique, elegant album as I do. Javeed and Shazia Syed are the best. They are very innovative and modern in style. They are very professional and you will see this in their photography, the angles of the photos, the lighting - all excellent quality! I have said this before and I will say it again, my family will only use Syed Studios for future family weddings. I feel very lucky to have had you as my photographer. Syed Studios is the very best in wedding photography!

    I am very disappointed to read all of the bad reviews for Syed Studios Photography. Mr and Mrs Syed drove to Fort Wayne, Indiana for my wedding and reception and they both took high quality photos and still shots that looked absolutely fabulous. Syed Studios was the best vendor of my wedding. The style, quality, creativity, and uniqueness of my album layout was better than any that I have seen. I have received more compliments than I can remember. Syed Studios has delivered on their promise. My family has decided to use their wedding photography services for all future family weddings. Give them a try, they are excellent and you will get what was promised to you.

    Booking this vendor took somewhat longer than I expected as his phone number is a direct line to his cell phone. After playing phone tag for a while and requesting to meet up we finally got together to select a package. He is very reasonable and if you would like to swap things and mix up features from the various packages, he's totally cool with it. They arrived on time at the event and were very professional. They gave us the wedding album 2 weeks after except it was nothing like what he showed us when booking. We're still waiting on the video which I'm hesitant on since a family member also booked him nearly 4 years ago and just recently received her wedding video. The photos came out nice, but if you can afford anyone better, definitely go for it.

    The whole process was a DISASTER!

    When I say Syed Studio ruined my life event - I mean they ABSOLUTELY RUINED MY LIFE EVENT! I honestly don't know where to start. From cameraman, stage, wedding album, editing, quality of the album, to anything and everything in between, is absolutely of INFERIOR quality.

    When we visited Shaziya Syed, she showed us a demo album that was of pristine quality and my wife and I were sold. She will also make you feel like you will be taken care of. From wedding video to album. They also have posters in the office of nice wedding shoots and thats how they get you. You associate all of the demo and example videos they show with the hopes that your album and video will turn out the same.

    I have attached the pictures of their edits below, you can make your own judgement after seeing them. It looks like they used Picmonkey to edit the color. The immature color, the childish background all of it looks like they had a 7 year old make the edit. My wife and I had to email and text them so many times asking them to correct so many of their edits (for almost every single page - and I'm not exaggerating; I have email correspondence to prove it) that at this point, my wife and I are the ones who made the album not them. They simply printed it.

    Don't even get me started on the wedding video.... it was so bad that my wife and I don't even play it. They didn't shoot so many of the important events (my best friend's speech, my sister-in-law's speech, juta-chupai, fireworks at the end). In the video they repeat the same scene at least 3 times and use it as filler.

    We also booked them for stage. They designed the stage a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT COLOR than what we agreed on. When my wife and I only saw it after our walk-ins, and boy were we devastated. And to make matters worse, their stage falls apart mid-event.

    It may sound like I'm exaggerating but trust me i'm not as I have pictures and videos to prove it. THE WHOLE THING WAS A DISASTER!!

    Don't take the chances with your wedding event. THEY WILL ruin it!
    I'll leave my contact info below if you want to see our wedding video and the album edits. I also have the email correspondence with them to prove how frustrating the whole process was. If you email me in this regard please put "Syed Studio" in the subject as reference.

    Believe the bad reviews, they are honest

    I would give this business zero stars if I could. I wish I had believed in the bad reviews over the good reviews because they were definitely honest.
    We booked them before the pandemic started for two events (photography and video) and then when we went into a lockdown they refused to refund our deposit and were extremely rude about it too.
    Nevertheless we still had the event on a MUCH smaller scale. May I just say, the only good thing was they arrived on time. That’s it, it was all downhill from there.
    Quality: garbage, video: never going to watch it again. I was outraged when I saw the video. It was bad editing, full of filler shots, the highlight was basically a slide show of our pictures, and most shots were just bad and orange.
    They also made us do very outdated poses for the photo shoot , ones that your parents did for their wedding pictures 20-30 years ago.
    Oh! And when we asked them to do an outdoor shoot, they refused and said they’ll charge for the whole event and work for one hour if we do an outdoor shoot (what is that all about ). They are extremely inflexible, rude, insensitive and completely unprofessional. Definitely not worth the cost and they’ll taint your beautiful memories with a bad experience.
    I normally don’t leave bad reviews. But as a former bride who went by just looking at reviews to hire someone, I understand that honest reviews are everything . Please don’t book them, you’ll end up being sad and upset every time you’ll look at your video again.

    Do you really want to take chance with Syed Studios?

    Extremely unprofessional! Missed key shots, un-attentive to client needs. A large number of pictures from our wedding came out blurry. Wedding video was a joke. I asked for video correction. They denied. Money is entirely down the drain, which is something you can still cope with, but the only recording of my wedding is completely ruined. AVOID syed studios at all cost!
