Highly recommend!
Usama was amazing, he was with us the whole day and perfectly captured each moment. He was professional, so friendly and really helped put us at ease which resulted in gorgeous, natural photos. Couldn’t recommend Usama enough if you’re looking for a wedding photographer!

Excellent work
Usama captured 3 of my sons events, haldi, sangeet and mehndi. He knew the traditions and was able to capture everything perfectly as well as interacting with the guests to get the best shots possible! Everyone spoke very highly of his work ethic and his professionalism. All round nice guy!

Fantastic
We booked Usama back in 2021 for our reception in Bradford. He understood everything we asked of him and went beyond our expectations, his turn around was so quick! We got his photos back before our Italian wedding photos from weeks ago! Highly recommend.

Captured perfect memories
We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to share our special day. Usama’s experience shone through, knowing when and where our best options for photos would be. He blended in so well that when our guests viewed the photos all have said that they hadn’t noticed him even being there. We were also surprised how quickly our pictures came back; we got married on the Saturday and got them back the following Friday. Each photo holds a special memory and can’t thank him enough and his unique id

Above and beyond!
We couldn’t have asked for more from Usama. Before the wedding, he was proactive and always available for any questions! On the wedding day, he was an absolute pro! He even helped Dan with his pocket square and waistcoat! The photos he took are beautiful and he was just about everywhere on the day! I’ve had multiple guests even tell me how great he was on the day! We would recommend him to everyone getting married or just having an event!!

Brilliant, couldn't have asked for a better photographer!
Cannot thank Usama enough for his wonderful captures of our special day and pre wedding shoot! Planning a wedding is undoubtedly a very stressful experience, but Usama went above and beyond to make it amazing for us. From the get go, he was very patient and did not rush or push us to commit to anything, was extremely responsive and flexible. At our pre shoot, he made a very gloomy and rainy day truly wonderful. All the guests were amazed at the quality of the photographs and also how he just blended I to the crowd which produced some wonderful, happy candid shots. We did not have to spent hours away from friends and family doing staged shoots, and yet he captured our day like it was out of a fairytale! Honestly, couldn't thank him enough for all he did to make our special day so memorable! Thank you so much!

FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

I think my most memorable wedding was one that actually involved capturing the bride and grooms baby! The baby was playing with their toys on the ground with the bride, it made for a cute photo as it was! However what happened next was the highlight for us all. Babies first steps!! They stood up and took their first steps towards the bride and I managed to get every step they took!

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Candid, natural, relaxed, feel good, warm

What about your business are you most proud of?

Developing of cultural understandings and traditions across all weddings.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Have an itinerary, but be flexible with the timings! Your ceremony is the only part of the day that will be perfectly timed, the rest of the day may not run exactly to the minute. Instead, have an order of how you'd like the day to flow with loose timings. It makes the day a lot more relaxed and you can enjoy each moment in its own right!

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

A couple used the brides, grandfathers military sword to the cut their wedding cake! The brides grandfather used the exact same sword to cut his own cake at his marriage, so it made for a great surprise reveal to the guests!

Describe your typical process with a couple.

I usually respond within 24hrs to let you know if I am free on your date and my packages I offer! Following on, if you're happy with a package and wish to book, I'll schedule a call/meet to discuss your plans and day. I want to get a sense of what you're like as a couple to try and tell your story on your wedding day. Once we've had a chat, I'll send over a digital agreement with your details and chosen package, combined with a £200 retainer fee. Once that is all signed, sealed and delivered. Your date is officially reserved!! I'll then usually reach out to you around a month before to discuss final plans and see if you have any special requests. All being well, I request final payment 30 days before the wedding day. I come to your wedding, and I capture your love story. 1-7 days later I'll send you some sneak peeks in an online gallery. Highlights of your day if you will! 2-4 weeks later, you'll have your complete online gallery!

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

Whilst there are many timeless moments at a wedding, the first kiss during the ceremony is an important one for me. It signifies the couples union and coming together, it's the moment when all the guests are in the same place at the same time, all enjoying the moment! I always suggest, make the first kiss last at least 3 seconds!

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

Underneath a set of rugby posts on the touch line.

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Enjoy the day like you would any other! You're surrounded by friends and family, the rain is part of your day too and adds to the story.

Describe how you got into photography.

I started photography as a teen, as most teens do, I loved taking photos of anything and everything on my dads camera. As I grew older, so did the thrill for taking photos. I was gifted my first ever DSLR before going off to uni and merged my passions for photography, cars and music! I spent my time at gigs snapping bands and car shows, I even attended football matches of close friends, attempting to get the perfect slide tackle or header at every game! Which ultimately lead me to being the local football clubs photographer for matches.
