  1. Neha Aamir Says:

    My husband Alman and I are so happy to share our experience of working with PTaufiq Photography as one of our easiest choices for a wedding vendor as we may be the pickiest people on the planet when it comes to music, art, direction, photography, etc. We are both from strong artistic families, and my husband is a musician/artist himself. It became a mission for us along with our families to find a vendor that matches our need for epicness, creative mastery, and mutual understanding. I remember my first conversation with Pervez where he confidently told me “Oh I’m doing this wedding.” And we thought “Oh this is our kind of person!” Right of the bat we clicked, but it wasn’t until we talked further that we really came to appreciate Pervez, Nicole, and Team. They just seemed to get it all while wrapped in love, passion, comfort, and warmth. Throughout the wedding weekend they worked tirelessly to make sure all of our vision came to life with smiles on their face the entire time. To be honest, many of our guests’ feedback was that they loved our photo and video team. They didn’t just come to work, they left a lasting impression even on our guests. And the work….well that just spoke for itself! The Team listened to our desires for editing while also putting their own creative twist on it. Oh, it was just magical. As a family we have looked at our pictures and videos as often as we can because we just can’t get enough of it. And I can whole heartedly say that my father watches our wedding video at least ONCE A DAY no exaggeration in the slightest. If the father of the bride aka the toughest critic is happy, the rest is cake. Pervez and Nicole have stayed in touch even after the wedding and we’ve all become great friends. It’s truly wonderful to work with individuals who give you results you paid for while making the experience unforgettable. They will always have a special place in our heart as they have given us the ultimate gift that will be viewed for generations to come. That’s a big responsibility, and we couldn’t have been more relieved to place it in the hands of the right Team. We couldn’t recommend them more. 100 stars.

    Pervez and his team are more like family rather than just a vendor. They take the time to get to know you and all your guests which makes for fantastic, real pictures full of love and life. They are extremely considerate and Pervez has such a great eye to capture the most perfect shots.

    They took the time to listen to our needs and captured everything we wanted plus more!

    It was fun getting to know them over our wedding weekend and they made us feel so comfortable.

    We have used them for several more shoots and can’t say enough good things about them as people and their amazing work!


  3. Disha Sood Says:

    We first met Nicole at Kunal’s brother’s wedding and decided to try them out for our winter pre-wedding shoot in New Hampshire about 10 months before our wedding. Since our wedding was to happen in India and we were getting recommendations from our wedding planner there, we didn’t actually consider PTaufiq photography right off the bat for the wedding itself, but the moment we met Nicole, Pervez and their kids in NH for the shoot, we knew that nobody else can be as crazy and passionate both about their work and family as Pervez and Nicole! We reached NH late in the night with the idea that the photoshoot would happen the next morning, but they were ready to start shooting that very night and already had ideas for it (it was almost like they read our minds for the smoke bombs and had them ready even before we told them about it). Pervez literally almost got run over by a car on an isolated bridge at 3am taking an epic pic of us!

    Not only did they travel all the way to India to capture every event of ours, they had regular conversations with us in the months before to get to know us better as a couple, about our wedding theme, outfits etc and to understand our vision such that they could make it personal in every way possible. They were also extremely accommodating throughout, for instance they agreed for an impromptu photoshoot in India a few days before the wedding and fulfilled our crazy last minute request for a pre-wedding video to be played during our reception. We literally completed the shoot for that on our mehendi day and Pervez put together our pre-wedding video overnight. We also really liked their openness to our feedback during the editing process, such that we could combine their creativity with our personal touch.

    PTaufiq team has this unique sense of space, time, body language and emotions, which enables them to capture the best angles at the most opportune moments. Pervez would also never fail to make you laugh through the shooting process and Nicole with her grace, elegance and modeling background helped us a lot with couple portraits (which we never thought we could look good in, we both tend to usually only like the more candid photos). Nicole also gave me the best advice on the morning of our wedding, while I waited for the baraat to come; I could then completely calm down and spend the time reflecting on our love and life together without stressing about anything else. That truly made me deeply enjoy every moment. They also sneakily recorded us after the reception for an interview and the words that were spoken then became one of the most beautiful memories for us as part of our wedding trailer. Thank you Nicole, Pervez, and the rest of the team for that and each and every amazing memory you have left us with, cannot thank you enough for that! We will forever cherish the teaser, trailer and films that the PTaufiq team made for us as it brought back memories from that day. We could not have asked for better finished products, such that its hard for us to resist watching it every day.

    Photography and videography is not just a job to them, they live and breathe it in every moment of their lives. They are these extremely creative souls, who can find unconventional ways to capture and freeze any moment. This is evident not just from their professional portfolio but also from their own family photos and videos, all of which exude love. In fact, they initially started shooting to capture their own family moments and then expanded it to make it their professional job. Anything that has its origin in family and love can only lead to multiplying more love and magic, which is exactly what they create wherever they go. You just cannot go wrong with them for your big day. We were so impressed by their work and enjoyed shooting with them so much, that we want to keep shooting with them. We are hoping to do a photoshoot with them again at our one year anniversary and cannot wait to be captured by them again. When they were leaving the hotel after our wedding, we didn’t feel a vendor was leaving, but were in fact sad to say bye to the part of our family/friend circle that they had become by then. Our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without Pervez, Nicole and their team capturing it and without their friendship.

    Pervez & Team shot our wedding shower, mehendi, welcome dinner, wedding and reception. We spent the most time with Pervez during the week of our wedding and we are having so much withdrawal from it! Pervez is so calming, positive, fun to be around, and so passionate about getting the most epic shots (& Dad jokes). Our videos and pictures came out so great and he was quick to get us footage to share with our families and friends. We would not have changed a thing and Pervez and his team became a part of the wedding. Vinh and Matty did an amazing job coming up with creative ideas to shoot! We will definitely have Pervez at all of our events going forward! Thank you so much for making our week so epic.


  5. Nishant Rao Says:

    Pervez is beyond amazing. He has a brilliant eye for creating those ‘moments’ you’d like to recollect while looking at the pictures. He is much more than just a great photographer in that sense. He shot our COVID wedding end to end and we couldn’t have been more pleased with what we saw. His energy is unmatched and by the end of our wedding, we were exhausted while he was still clicking us and making us do all those couple-y poses. You won’t go wrong with Pervez!


  6. Archana Amin Says:

    Positive, Professionalism, & Photo-tastic! =)

    I am overwhelmed with all sorts of exciting emotions by the content this dude makes! I really recommend this photographer and his team to all people that look for a dedicated and unique photographer. It was absolutely worth the time , I can recommend PTaufiq Photography as the best studio out there. Their approach is personalized and accommodates all types of photo needs. The team is friendly and the final results speak for themselves. Highly recommended. They do gorgeous photography and videography. Magical work and finish to the albums (as options!). A must invest in your big moments and you will never regret it. Everything is in its perfection stage from the poses they ask you to do (wedding in my case), to photo lighting, and much more. AND their approach is not just about taking the best photos—it’s also about how the team makes you feel. This is an experience from the first initial connection to the final deliverables; it all must be consistent and flawless. Interacting with the couple during the planning stages was the key in his process. He is truly the best ever. Pervez is not only the greatest photographer you’ll meet, but he is by far the greatest wedding vendor and one of the best humans you’ll meet. We can’t explain the magic he created within our day. He cares about the photos, but cares about the people even more. We are a Boston based couple who got married during the covid-19 pandemic. Pervez and his team came to Lincoln, MA to do a wedding shoot with us at a sculpture park. He listens, he is kind, and beyond helpful. Every photo he has taken brings a smile to my face over and over again. We have certainly found our photographer for life and I can’t wait to hire him again and again! When I say that he is the absolute best, I mean it. I cannot begin to tell brides how amazing Pervez is. I was immediately struck by his talent, his eye for detail, and his ability to really capture the personality of a couple. Pervez and his team have a way of making the world around you appear more beautiful and you look your absolute most stunning-without the use of crazy filters or excessive photoshop. When you look back in fifty years, you are going to want to see yourself and the love you have for each other and Pervez manages to see that within minutes of meeting you. I cannot recommend him enough: his work, his work ethic, and his contributions to our day. Wedding photos last forever and I am grateful we trusted PTaufiq Photography with the important task of ours. With love, Archana & Ronak

Wedding Photographers & Filmmakers by area:


Wedding Photographers & Filmmakers

Weddings are one of the most important occasions in couples' lives, and are marked by meaningful ceremonies and festivities. And years later, the wedding albums and videos help keep your memories alive. That's why wedding photography plays a major role in creatively capturing all the moments which you can relive later.

We, at WeddingSutra, help you select the best wedding photographers and videographers according to your preferred style and budget. Classified under the category of WeddingSutra Favorites, our list of handpicked photographers and videographers will make sure all your special moments are captured and creatively converted into beautiful memories.

TYPES OF WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

Candid Photography

With no poses or staged shots, candid photography is all about capturing pictures that reflect spontaneity and a 'hidden camera' vibe. Clicked without asking the bride, groom or guests to strike poses or making them conscious, this type of photography captures emotions like laughter, tears, happiness, and surprise in their rawest forms. Candid clicks are relatively new and slightly more expensive, but they have become one of the most popular types of wedding photography in India now.

Traditional Photography

As the name suggests, traditional photography is the oldest and most conventional way of capturing wedding pictures. Requiring the bride and groom to pose for pictures along with their families and guests, traditional photography is more cost-effective than its candid counterpart and tends to be preferred by elders in the family.

Cinematic Videography

The video form of candid photography, cinematic wedding films capture the candid and unposed moments of your wedding as they happen. Focussing primarily on the little details of the wedding that usually go unnoticed, cinematic videos aim to create a 'movie' out of your wedding with scenes shot by high-end devices like professional cameras and drones. A visual treat for viewers, these 15-20 minute cinematic videos come packaged with brilliant sound effects, background music and skillful editing.

Traditional Videography

A video run-down of your wedding, traditional wedding videos are a three to four hour recording of everything that happened at your wedding. With a bland and relatively slow narrative, traditional videography is cheaper as it does not require high-end equipment or very creative editing skills.

Pre-wedding Photography & Videography

Shot against picturesque backdrops, and capturing the love and excitement of a to-be-wed couple, pre-wedding photography and videography are a rage with millennial couples. Depending on the length of the video, shoot locations and quality desired, many photographers provide custom pre-wedding packages to couples with varying prices.

TIPS TO HIRE THE BEST WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS

Clueless about how to zoom in on the right wedding photographer for your needs and budget? Here are a few tips on how you can find a professional lensman you can click with.

  • Finalize your budget first. Having clarity on the amount you want to spend on wedding albums, pre-wedding shoots and videos will help you narrow down the options. However, be ready to negotiate to get the best deal available.
  • Research well. Study the different themes and styles of wedding photos you want and make a wish list of your preferences.
  • Once you know your needs and the budget is fixed, look for photographers who fulfil your requirements
  • Shortlist and contact four or five photographers and request quotations from them.
  • Book your selected photographer(s) well in advance to avoid losing out on your favourite options. You can book separate photographers for different shoots. However, if you have good chemistry with one, we recommend you stick to them.
  • Write to us if you have any questions, and get help from our erudite experts.

THINGS TO DISCUSS WITH YOUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS BEFORE SEALING THE DEAL

  • Brief them well about your requirements. Show them references of the 'must-have' pictures for you and what they can avoid.
  • Inform them of various aspects of your wedding celebrations: How many functions are being held, their timings and venues, duration, key people to capture, and so on.
  • Be clear about the final amount you'll be paying, including all the taxes and overhead charges like transportation.
  • Discuss all the deliverables in advance to avoid any ambiguity or misunderstanding on the day of the shoot or post-production.
  • Ask your photography team about the props they will be providing or need, and mention if you need anything specifically in relation to a certain theme.
  • Do not forget to mention your pre-wedding shoot and check if they would like to provide you with a cost-effective deal including both your pre-wedding and wedding coverage.
