    Best photographer

    me and my fiancé had a photoshoot last month and words can’t explain how happy we were with her work. She made us feel so natural and we were so comfortable with her. Our photos were everything we wished for and more and we can’t be more thankful! I 100% recommend booking with Zaytouna Photography!

    Best. Photographer. Ever.

    Sereen was amazing to work with. She built rapport with me and my family members so easily. She was friendly, courteous and most importantly professional. I hired her for my henna night as well as my wedding day and I am happy that I found her. She captured each moment raw and took the time to ensure that I got all the pictures that I needed. On my wedding day, she wanted to ensure that my husband and I were comfortable instead of us being too nervous around each other. Additionally, she respected my wishes and choices as I wanted and kept checking along the way to ensure everything was smooth sailing. Thank you for capturing special moments to that I can always look back at and reminisce.

    Don't forget to hire Zaytouna Photography for your next event. You won't regret it!

    Best Wedding photographer ever!

    Zaytouna was the best photographer we could have ever imagined to have for our Henna & Wedding! Getting married during COVID was a stressful experience but Zaytouna was incredibly accommodating, patient, and flexible. She made us feel so comfortable and we were really able to be ourselves behind the camera. She captured the perfect moments that we will always treasure! I truly can’t recommend Zaytouna enough. Not only was she an amazing photographer but she really made sure to make things go as smooth as possible and was there to help in any way possible.
    As always, Zaytouna exceeded every expectation we had! Our wedding portraits are everything we could’ve wanted and so much more. We are looking forward to have Zaytouna capture every milestone in the future. Best photographer ever!!!

    Amazing experience!!

    Where do I begin? I’ve always been impressed by Sereen’s photography style and when the opportunity came for me to work with her, I couldn’t resist. My husband and I certainly did not regret it. Zaytouna photography is a style for all. Whether you’re looking for a light and airy feel or a royal and regal nature, she can do it all. We loved our experience with Zaytouna and wouldn’t have picked otherwise! We constantly look back at our beautiful engagement session and wedding photos. We show off our pictures and have received a TON of positive feedback. I can go on and on about how she made us feel so comfortable, was so flexible with our difficult schedule, and let every request we had. If you’re thinking twice, I definitely wouldn’t!

    Best photographer ever

    Zaytouna Photography went above and beyond for our wedding photos. They were punctual, patient and more importantly genuine. Sereen and her crew did everything their power to assure my wife and I's pictures came out flawless. I would not have changed one thing about our experience. Our engagment photos and wedding photos still have me in awe til this day.

    Smooth Experience!

    Worked with Zaytouna for my engagement and had an unforgettable time! She was very flexible and accommodating to change of plans. She made my fiance and I feel like ourselves and comfortable in our clothes and setting despite the 100 degree July weather. The pictures were breath-taking! She made sure to adjust us (our clothes, positions) and guide us at moments and allowed us the freedom to take some goofy pictures. She utilized the setting to get the perfect image, like the Brooklyn icecream truck that was at dumbo, we took pictures as we ate icecream with the truck and bridge behind us.
    InshaAllah will work with her again! Thank you!!!

    Amazing engagement shoot experience!

    Zaytouna Photography did our engagement shoot and there are absolutely no words to describe how happy I am with our photos! Zaytouna Photography was an absolute dream to work with! Her work is honestly everything I envisioned and more. Our friends and family were also very impressed by her work! Aside from capturing breathtaking photos, she was very professional, easygoing, fun, and knowledgeable. She made us very comfortable in front of the camera, which really shows in the pictures. She made it easy for my fiance and I to be ourselves. We honestly could not be more pleased with Zaytouna Photography. If you are looking for a photographer in this area for your wedding, engagement shoot, maternity shoot, or any type of photoshoot I highly recommend Zaytouna. I promise you will not be dissapointed! We cannot wait to have Zaytouna Photography capture our wedding!

    Such a relaxed experience from start to finish!

    I found Sereen of Zaytouna Photography via Instagram and I am SO glad I did. It was such a delight working with her. She made the entire process easy. She is extremely professional and explains what to expect from booking, to the day of and even after.
    The day of our wedding she arrived earlier than she was supposed to, she introduced herself to my family and began setting up. Once she was done she began photographing right away. Needless to say I was nervous and she certainly caught a whiff of that and kept reminded me to breath and "shake it off" she literally made me shake away my nerves.
    I loved seeing some sneak peaks behind the camera that got me so excited to see all the final results.
    The best part was how she wasn't just my photographer. She helped fix my dress and veil if needed to. She ran back and forth between my fiancé and I to make sure no photo went missing.
    When we were falling a bit behind schedule she reminded me to breathe and that it'll be okay. You can imagine how nervous and anxious you can be when things start to stray away from your itinerary but Sereen was so helpful in calming me down and said that just means more time for more photos.
    The night went on and things flowed as imagined. When I received my photos I fell in love over and over again. They were absolutely magical. Sereen did as she promised and captured the true raw emotions between my husband and I. Skipped the fake and nervous smiles and right into true genuine emotions!!! The photos at the reception were just as amazing. She captured it all and you wouldn't even know she was there -- meaning she didn't interrupt a moment to capture a photo it just happened so seamlessly and that's definitely something you want on your wedding day. No interrupted moments just a natural flow and someone who is able to capture those moments for you.
    We created our custom wedding album and the process was a dream. Easy way to choose our images, a beautiful life like slide show of the album and a chance for any revisions before being sent off to print. We chose our color linen cover and our names and wedding dates to be embossed in gold foil on the cover. It came with a beautiful wedding album cover and a gorgeous wedding gift from Sereen which was an enlarged image that was encased in a frame with the most intricate details which now hangs in our living room!! So sweet and unexpected.
    If I had to replan this wedding, I'd choose Zaytouna Photography a million times over!!

    Loved working with her !

    She’s one of the most kind hearted and sweetest person to work with! I usually don’t like taking pictures but she made it feel so fun and so comfortable. I can’t wait to have her capture more of my special moments in the future.

    A delight to work with!

    I contacted Zaytouna Photography after seeing her breathtaking photos on Instagram. From the moment that I messaged her with an inquiry, I was put completely at ease. She was very energetic and excited about the opportunity to work together.

    Sereen, the photographer, immediately invited us to coffee, as to get to know each other better and cultivate an understanding of expectations and preferences. Her warmth and genuine character really set her apart from the rest. It was clear that our booking was not just another job for her- she really wanted to make sure everyone was as comfortable and happy as can be!

    I used Zaytouna services for my wedding ceremony, and Sereen was able to work within our specific circumstances to create breath-taking results. The images she captured were crisp, clean, and flattering. After just a short while from the wedding night, I received a secure usb drive with all the images (fully edited). I was fully at ease knowing that my photographs would be handled securely and privately.

    Even after receiving the usb drive, Sereen was there to answer any questions I had and provide additional services to my liking including prints or follow up sessions.

    Regardless of time or budget restraints, I would definitely recommend giving Sereen a call and getting to know the sweet and open-minded person that she is!

    Incredible!

    I have been following Zaytouna Photography on Instagram since the first photo they posted. I love how bright and airy all their photos are. For our engagement session, we were so excited to be working with Zaytouna Photography. Sereen, the photographer, has an eye for detail and she never fails to capture the most perfect photos! She is so fun and easy to work with and we felt so comfortable in front of the camera with her. I also love how she is prepared and knowledgeable in many different aspects of photography. For example, when we booked our session with her we weren’t quite sure where exactly we wanted our pictures to be taken; however, Sereen was able to suggest the best places according to the season the session was held in. Since our session took place in the spring, she suggested a beautiful park filled with picture perfect cherry blossom trees. The photos look like a dream!!

    Engagement Party

    Sereen from Zaytouna is more than just a photographer! She is so sweet and was so easy to work with. Despite taking photos in what felt like below zero temperature, she made the process of our photo shoot an effortless one. We highly recommend Zaytouna Photography to anyone who is looking for a reliable, professional, and fun team! Look no further!

    Wedding Day Photographers

    Zaytouna Photography was such a delight to have as my wedding photographers. My cousin had booked with Zaytouna for her wedding in 2016 and I knew that I wanted Sereen & her husband to my wedding photographers from that day! They were so calm amidst all the chaos of a big, dysfunctional family on my wedding day! I can’t thank Sereen enough for capturing the most beautiful moments of the best day of my life. I felt so, so comfortable with her & trusted her wholeheartedly with my pictures and with my schedule of the day. A very important thing to note: I had planned & written out a schedule for the day so that everyone could be on time - Zaytouna photographers really stayed on point with all the times that I marked. It was especially nice to have them there to facilitate the activities & to make sure that me & my husband (& both our families) were getting everything done on time! They were more than just photographers; they helped make my wedding day great in all aspects! Overall, I would highly recommend booking Zaytouna for your events, I definitely would do it all over again with them. Thank you, Sereen!

    Great photographer and very professional

    I had Zaytouna Photography shoot my engagement party and I couldn’t be happier with both the photos and the service. Not only is Sereen professional but also captures beautiful memories. She had a consultation with me where we discussed what I wanted and she showed me samples of her work. On my engagement it snowed which I thought was bad luck but Sereen suggested we take pictures outside and when we went outside in the snow we take beautiful shots. The pictures came out amazing and she kept to her word on getting the photos back in a timely manner. She delivered the cutest package with my photos right to my home. She even sent a few sneak peak pictures right after the party. She was easy to communicate with both before and after the event which is important when booking a photographer. Some are so easy to get a hold of when they want your business and then don’t reply when waiting for your pictures and prints. Not Zaytouna. Great experience all throughout.

    Engagement shoot

    Zaytouna Photography did my engagement photo shoot and I could not have been happier with the experience as well as the pictures. Sereen made us feel comfortable, made us laugh and smile, and the genuineness that she exuded came out in the photos. My now husband and I are not the best at photos and posing so she made the experience as smooth and comfortable as possible. Anytime anyone asks me which photographer they should get for any life event, Zaytouna Photography is always the only recommendation I give. I will always be grateful for them capturing moments that we can look back on for the rest of our lives.

    Amazing experience

    Zaytouna was nothing short of amazing. I enjoyed working with her so much and my husband and I genuinely felt comfortable and natural throughout our entire engagement session! Our photos turned out breathtaking and the location she helped us choose based off our vision made them all that much better! I always recommend her services to all my friends and family and already have contacted her about more future events!
