Paul Sent on 02/03/2025Amazing Experience!
When my partner and I were looking for a photographer for our wedding we looked at countless websites and hundreds of photos but we took a chance and reached out to a company we could have easily missed: Weddings by Shooting Stars. We almost passed them by because their website only featured South Asian weddings and neither my fiancé nor I are South Asian.
But there was something about the photos on their website that we really fell in love with. So vibrant, so beautiful, and so full of life!
So we reached out to them, not sure if they even did weddings for non-South Asian couples - let alone gay couples - but Deepesh and Sana could not have been kinder or more enthusiastic. “Yes! Of course! Let’s set up a time to talk by phone so you can tell us your story. We love a good love story! We also want to make sure we choose the right photographer from our staff. Someone who will be perfect for you guys. We want to understand who you guys are. We want to capture your story not just your pictures.”
They were great every step of the way. And they did, indeed, choose a terrific photographer for us. His name was Mandar and he was amazing. Kind, thoughtful, creative, easy to work with and the perfect balance of presence and unobtrusiveness. He made great suggestions, never interrupted the flow of events, and was very in tune with us and intuitive throughout the entire day. Something no one ever tells you about your wedding day is that the person you will spend the most time with, apart from your spouse, is the photographer! They are there every step of the way. So you really want to be sure they are a positive presence. Mandar was definitely that!
We were very lucky to have had such a beautiful wedding filled with amazing memories. Thanks to Deepesh, Sana, Mandar, and the team at Weddings by Shooting Stars we will be able to enjoy those memories for many years to come!
Thanks guys!

Deepesh and the team at Shooting Stars were absolutely amazing as our wedding photographer and videographer! From the moment we met Deepesh, we knew we were in great hands. He was so flexible and easy to work with, which made the whole process stress-free—a quality you really want in a vendor on such an important day.
Their creative use of angles and attention to detail brought every special moment to life. Looking at the photos and video feels like reliving the day all over again—every shot is just perfect! We couldn’t have asked for a better team to document our big day. Highly recommend Shooting Stars to anyone looking for professionalism, talent, and breathtaking memories.
Check out their instagram page to see all of the amazing pictures they take! Thank you so much Deepesh and Team! -

We had the pleasure of working with Deepesh and his team from Shooting Stars for our wedding, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the results. From start to finish, Shooting Star’s professionalism and creativity were evident in every photo and video they captured. They have strong experience working with desi weddings and coordinating across all the events and logistics to ensure they capture critical moments with perfect detail. We were extremely impressed with the final products we received. If you're looking for a top-notch photographer and videographer who will make your memories unforgettable, we highly recommend Deepesh and Shooting Stars. -

Recommend this team in a heartbeat. All pictures and videos were absolutely STUNNING! We loved every single one. Deepesh is so talented - incredible work and on point attention to detail. The entire team gave clear direction and was so easy to work with. We are so happy we had the opportunity to work with them during our special day. Everything was delivered in a timely manner. -

Deepesh and his team were professional, personable, and really personalized their work to us. We told Deepesh during the pre-wedding photoshoot we wanted more natural pictures, and our priority was spending as much time with our guests as possible. He and his team made sure of this and what they captured from our wedding weekend was phenomenal. Deepesh made us extremely comfortable in front of the camera, made the shoots fun for us, and truly captured our essence as a couple and highlighted that in his work. We are more than pleased with the pictures, highlight videos, and event films they made for us. Deepesh, thank you for capturing our event flawlessly and really listening to what we wanted. You have given us memories that we'll cherish for our lifetime and we can't thank you enough. -

I can say nothing but positive things for Deepesh and the whole team. Their team not only was wonderful to work with from our day 1 phone call, but also during the event, and afterwards during follow-ups for the product. You will get excellent quality past, present, and future. My husband and I definitely made friends with this brilliant team and am so honored that we had such a delightful photo/video team at our special day!! -

Sindhu Sent on 04/25/2023Weddings by Shooting Stars is AMAZING!
I am delighted to write this positive review for Weddings by Shooting Stars. Their team did an exceptional job capturing the most amazing parts of our wedding week. Deepesh has an eye for magic! This team was professional, friendly, and extremely attentive to every detail throughout the each event from engagement shoot to bridal shower to wedding and reception and everything in between. Their ability to capture the most precious moments was truly remarkable, and they ensured that every photograph was nothing short of stunning.
From the candid shots of our family and friends to the intricate details of our 7-part 2 semi-traditional Telugu wedding ceremony, Weddings by Shooting Star captured it all with perfection. They were able to capture every emotion, every laugh, and every tear in the most beautiful way possible. Their photographs truly captured the essence of our wedding day, and we couldn't be happier with the final result. They even uploaded the photos on a separate hard drive, organized by event, which made finding specific photos through the online portal or our drive much easier. We highly recommend Deepesh & Weddings by Shooting Stars to anyone looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience. -

I got my Reception pictures from July 30TH, 2022 and it felt like a fairytale. Faisal, Robin and Basil were an amazing team, my pictures didn't make me feel conscious because they know the angles, the light and most importantly the right background. They gave us some beautiful memories. Thank you! -

The team at Shooting stars went above and beyond for our desi wedding vision. We booked them for our Mehndi and Wedding. Deepesh provided an amazing pre-wedding photoshoot which was an absolute blast. He does a great job at making you feel comfortable while posing in public. Deepesh himself was not available for our wedding dates, so he generously arranged a second photoshoot for us to meet our "day of" film team. Our lead photographers and videographers - Jess & Swap, were a rockstar duo.
At Desi weddings, it can be a challenge to manage the family photo portion of the event. My wife and I expressed that we wanted to keep this short, so we could enjoy our night rather than be stuck taking photos for hours. Jess was an MVP here. She directed all our family members, positioned them for the best poses, and kept the night moving. Our wedding photos came out stunning, and we've had many friends inquire about who shot our wedding. We loved her leadership and energy!
Our videographer Swap was extremely fun to work with. He had so many creative angles and shots that shined in our videos. We had choreographed dancing at our events and Swap did an amazing job keeping up with the action. Ask Deepesh to show you the gimbal shot during my little brothers Ghungaroo performance.
Shooting stars also went above and beyond with the editing. Our first draft had some audio issues and we requested a number of visual changes to be made. The team went through every change we asked for and made it happen. Seriously, the customer service effort was exceptional. It's extremely rare to find anyone as passionate as the folks at Shooting Stars. They delivered us our dream wedding film/photos.
My best advice for anyone looking to book Shooting stars:
1) Don't wait to book, because they will get booked months in advance & you'll regret it.
2) Ask for Deepesh Jess & Swap if they're available!
3) Never cheap out on Photo/Video. Just don't do it. Cheap out on the Limo, the DJ, the Dessert. Anywhere else but Photo/Video. No one will remember the mango ice cream - trust me.
4) Be clear about what your photo/video vision is during the initial talks. May be hard to do if you haven't been to a lot of weddings (like me), but ask Deepesh for some of his past work and see if that aligns.
5) Patience, Patience, & Patience. We got our final wedding photos/videos about 7 months after our wedding. As someone who edits/films himself, good things take a long time to create & good vendors have a lot of clients.
We cannot recommend Shooting Stars enough & we will definitely return to them in the future for other events.

Darshan Sent on 04/05/2022Excellent Photographers to Work With!
Me and my wife hired Weddings by Shooting Stars after meeting them through a Dulhan Expo. We were instantly impressed with their passion for what they do. Our biggest concern was that they’d be too expensive but we got a very reasonable quote given their quality of work. During the entire process they were extremely friendly, patient, and professional which was huge for both me and my wife because we naturally have RBFs. Due to the pandemic we did have to wait a bit to get our pictures/videos but it was well worth the wait given the quality of work done by Deepesh and his team. We both highly recommend Wedding by Shooting Stars for all those currently in the wedding planning process. -

Dhaval Sent on 01/08/2022Very talented and an awesome Team!
Deepesh, Ali and rest of the team were amazing. We did pre-wedding shoot and also had the wedding photography + videography done by shooting stars. We were impressed with the pre-wedding video and photoshoot done by Ali. From then on we felt that we had chosen the right team for our wedding. Deepesh is highly talented behind the camera and easy to work with. He worked around our budget and provided us with a quality service. -

Deepesh is extremely talented and has the unique ability to capture all the special moments of your event. He was excellent with all my family and guests, and is great with kids! As I look through all our pictures, I happily relive our Baby Shower. He is kind, courteous, professional, and very easy to work with. Our photographs are great and he has exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be working with him for future events! -

Dhruvi Sent on 02/20/2021Amazing at capturing memorable moments
So blessed to have had the presence of Weddings by Shooting Stars capture my memorable moments with my soulmate and family. Glad that we wished upon you guys!
Last year in the midst of a pandemic with all the stress of trying to stay safe, we had to change all of our wedding plans to Aug 2020 (still during uncertain times), I was so lucky that Deepesh/Wedding by Shooting Stars was very accommodating. Deepesh was very patient and wonderful in being available to discuss options and changes.
We knew Wedding by Shooting Stars was for us because Deepesh and his team capture raw emotion and happiness in their photographs. Everyone is different, some people want posed photos and some want natural. Deepesh is great in giving couples their desired dream photos, as he discusses everything in detail with you well in advance.
During out first conversation, he sounded so familiar like an old friend. He suggested a winter/snow photoshoot, we knew that was what we had to do it because my husband and I love being outdoors. He was amazing and hilarious during that photo session, getting down and rolling in the snow, to get the perfect shot. He worked with our personalities to get the perfect photos. He and his colleague got great natural photos that we will cherish. Every snowfall reminds us of that day.
On our wedding day, it was crazy hectic as it was still amidst a pandemic, but Deepesh and his team was early and ready to go. They went with the flow and Deepesh is very patient and understanding. He captured every tear of happiness that was shed and every laugh that my husband and I shared. I always thought crying isn’t captured well in photos, but Deepesh has taken terrific organic photographs that I love those pictures a bit more and now know I am a beautiful cryer….lol.
Deepesh and his Wedding by Shooting Stars team is extremely efficient, we received our photographs and videos a lot sooner than expected. He is very knowledgeable and suggested the perfect song for our video based on the vibe and atmosphere that was create during my wedding. It’s like he knows what you want before you say it.
It was wonderful to work with an easygoing and understanding vendor. Highly recommended!!!! -

THE BEST IN THE GAME!! No one compared to Dee! He is so kind, super professional, goes above and beyond to make sure you get the pictures of your dreams, and most importantly he listens!! If you want something a certain way he will make sure he delivers and for me that was extremely important! Both our families fell in love with him and are going to use him for all further events! This is not just a recommendation but rather I am shouting from the mountain tops, GET WEDDINGS BY SHOOTING STARS FOR YOUR WEDDING, you will absolutely thank me later! -

Benjamin Sent on 07/07/2019Amazing so far!!
Working with Deepesh and his crew has been just an amazing experience. From the moment you meet him, you realize his passion for photography and making the best product possible. The whole time we felt like models for a glamour magazine. He has an amazing eye and does not want to just give a "cookie cutter" experience. We have used him for our engagement party and he has gone above and beyond. We will also be using him for our pre-wedding photo shoot. His videography partner is calm and very nice. Explains things very well. We'll likely write another review once that process is over, but so far we cannot say enough great things. Only advice would be to make sure you plan on having set photographs during your reception as he likes to use the evening as a backdrop for great photos too. Looking forward to working with them in the future! *****
