Sam and his team were GREAT, and very kind and patient!! Not only did Sam figure out how to get in during the Jersey City Marathon on our wedding day, which was a surprise to us all, he ensured that all of the photos went well with any issue that arose. He was able to make it to the Hotel (right in the middle of the marathon!!) for getting ready photos, and ensured we had the perfect amount of time to take pictures in Liberty State Park before our beautiful venue at Maritime Parc. Sam continued to be so supportive, took amazing photos that we will treasure forever, and it turned out to be a perfect day! From getting ready, to dancing, to New York City Background photos from Maritime, he captured it all!!! I would highly recommend him to anyone who would like trustworthy photography! <3
We can't thank Sam and the team at Bright Light Studios enough for the incredible job they did at our wedding! From our engagement shoot to the big day, everything was perfect. Sam picked an amazing location for the engagement photos, and we felt so comfortable and relaxed during the session.
On the wedding day, Sam and his team were professional, friendly, and super helpful. They guided us through the day’s itinerary, made sure everything ran smoothly, and were always there when we needed them—without ever feeling intrusive. At both the church and the venue, they were thoughtful and efficient, capturing every special moment.
Sam also has a deep understanding of our culture and made sure to capture all the important moments during the church ceremony. His attention to detail and respect for tradition truly set him apart.
The final photos and video were stunning—we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out! If you’re looking for top-notch photography and videography for your wedding, we highly recommend Bright Light Studios. Sam and his team truly made our day unforgettable!
We are absolutely thrilled with our wedding video and photos! Peter and Gerardo were amazing—they made the entire experience fun and enjoyable for everyone. Their energy was infectious, and all our guests loved them! Sameh did our engagement photos, and they were nothing short of amazing. He made us feel comfortable and relaxed, capturing unforgettable moments. The photo turnaround was impressively quick, and we were delighted to be surprised with video teasers that kept the excitement going! Sameh also helped us with our day-of timeline, ensuring everything flowed smoothly. From start to finish, the team was incredibly accommodating and communicated brilliantly. They listened to our vision and captured every moment beautifully. The final product exceeded our expectations and perfectly encapsulated our special day. Thank you all for your hard work! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend BLS to anyone looking for a talented and professional photographer and videographer!
TLDR: Kind; Professional; Communicates; Knowledgeable; LGBTQIA+ Friendly!
I spoke with at least a dozen photographers before choosing. I absolutely chose right.
Sam was friendly and fantastic to work with throughout the entire process. He was patient and informative. Very professional and obviously bringing years of experience. He was incredibly helpful the day of the wedding. Clearly a veteran with knowledge about surrounding areas popular with photography. I have not stopped getting jaw dropping responses over our photos, and people asking who our photographer was. Out of this world quality. Totally worth the money. Memories fade. Photos are forever. I hope to use him for other events in the future.
You can’t go wrong with Bright Light Studios! BLS was one of the first vendors we booked after our engagement almost a year and a half ago. We loved what we had seen of their work and felt the prices were totally fair! The package we chose came with a one hour engagement photoshoot session and although we were both nervous, Sam made the experience totally relaxing and fun! We received SO many great photos with just one hour of shooting and he sent them to us faster than we could have ever expected. Between the engagement shoot and the wedding, Sam kept in communication with us and provided us with all the help we needed to plan a perfect wedding day. The day of our wedding, Sam and his assistant arrived early to set up and got right to work! We followed the timeline we had created together without any hiccups and he made sure to get every photo we requested on our shot list. If I said I wanted a photo in a certain spot or pose, he responded with a quick, “Let’s do it!”. The BLS team truly made the day feel effortlessly perfect! We received a preview of our beautiful wedding photos the very next day. We also received all of our photos much sooner than we thought! Overall, Sam and the BLS team are a delight to work with. Sam is nothing short of kind, professional and worth every penny!
We couldn't have asked for a better photography team for our wedding reception than Bright Light Studios. My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Sam and his phenomenal photography team for our recent wedding reception, and we cannot sing their praises loud enough! Despite unexpected rain and a slightly delayed timeline, Sam and his team truly proved to be the shining stars of our event, capturing every precious moment and keeping us on track with their professionalism and expertise. Sam and his team truly shined and turned what could have been a stressful situation into an incredibly memorable experience.
From the moment we first met Sam, his warm and friendly demeanor put us at ease. He took the time to understand our vision and preferences, making sure he was well-prepared to create the most magical memories for us. When the rain started pouring down on our special day, Sam's team didn't miss a beat. The team’s professionalism and dedication were evident - They were well-equipped to adapt to the weather conditions, finding creative ways to capture stunning shots indoors and outdoors without missing a moment of joy. Their ability to adapt to changing circumstances without compromising on quality was truly impressive.
One of the standout qualities of Bright Light Studios was their exceptional time management skills. Despite the rain causing us to fall behind on our schedule, they skillfully guided us through the photography sessions, ensuring we captured all the important moments while still keeping us on track. Sam and his crew managed to keep everything flowing smoothly, and their presence was like a breath of fresh air amidst the slight chaos that can come with event planning.
What truly sets this photography team apart is their unwavering dedication to their craft. Sam's keen eye for detail and his team's technical prowess were evident in every shot. Every photo they took told a story, and every image was infused with emotion and artistry. Their attention to detail and their ability to capture candid, genuine moments were truly remarkable. Each photo told a story, and looking through them was like reliving our wedding day all over again.
In addition to their exceptional talent, the team's positivity and genuine enthusiasm were infectious. They blended seamlessly into the celebration, making everyone feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. The laughter and candid moments they captured are priceless treasures that we'll cherish for a lifetime.
In the end, the Bright Light Studios team became an integral part of our wedding reception. They not only delivered stunning photographs that we will cherish forever but also provided us with a sense of comfort and reassurance throughout the entire process. We are immensely grateful to Sam and his outstanding photography team for turning what could have been a challenging day into an unforgettable experience. Their dedication, professionalism, and passion for their craft shine through in every aspect of their work.
If you're looking for a photography team that goes above and beyond, even in challenging circumstances, look no further than Bright Light Studios. They have our heartfelt recommendation and five-star rating without a doubt! They're not just photographers; they're memory-makers and miracle workers. We are forever grateful for their role in making our day so magical.
Where do I start?! Me and my husband had the privilege of having Sam as our engagement and wedding photographer. I cannot say enough nice things about him and his team. Sam went above and beyond to make our special day even more special. He was timely, patient, accommodating, exceptionally professional and just simply amazing at what he does. We got our engagement shoot photos back the same day and our wedding preview photos in just 2 days! Sam even put together a folder of hundreds of Instagram boomerangs from our wedding and sent that to us as well. I’m excited to be able to relive our perfect day through the perfectly captured photos and videos. Huge thank you to Sam and the BLS team for making our wedding picture perfect. We look forward to working with them in the future and highly recommend them for your photography needs as well.
Truly amazing and professional work from the beginning of the process to the end. Sam goes above and beyond to ensure our special wedding day was unique for my wife and I. The care Sam took not only reflects on him but also his entire team of professionals. They each have such a unique perspective of finding the perfect background and shots while being very patient and providing guidance to ensure the best quality photo was achieved. We were so very lucky and blessed to have been referred to Bright Light Studios and never looked back. From the engagement photos to our wedding photos, superb quality photos, professionalism, care and above all communication and guidance.
Bright light studios truly made our wedding photography experience absolutely flawless!!! Sam is the most wonderful person to work with and he extremely skilled in both photography as well as streamlining the photography process!!! You are in the best of hands with bright lights! My husband and I can't thank them enough!!!
We don’t know where to start with this review! Sameh and his team at BLS photographed our wedding and we couldn’t be any more grateful to have picked them as our team- it was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process. Sameh and the team were so professional, timely, friendly, warm and made us feel like we were actually enjoying our time. We truly felt the professionalism shine through as well as the friendly demeanor of the whole team. We highly highly recommend Sameh and BLS for any photography needs and can’t wait to work with them in the future again! Thank you BLS!!!!
What a great photographer and company! I have nothing but positive things about the entire experience/communication from Sam! He really takes pride in his work and the photos from my wedding were perfect. Sam is easy to talk to and he even made sure to communicate with my venue. The entire process of putting a wedding together is stressful however no stress with BLS and Sam made sure of that. Thank you.
What a great photographer! Sam and his team exceeded our expectations, such an amazing experience that anyone would hope for especially during such an important life event. He was cheerful, approachable, and professional all the time.
Whatever we say is not enough to thank him and his crew for staying the whole day with us and capturing every moment, we knew we were in such good hands from the very moment we interacted with Sam. HIGHLY RECOMMEND him to anyone looking for a unique photography team.
I want to start off by saying going with Bright Lights Studios was undoubtedly the best decision we made for photos for our wedding. Sameh was incredibly cooperative and professional throughout our whole wedding process and completely exceeded our wedding photo expectations. Planning a wedding in just 4 months was as stressful as it could’ve been but Sameh was so calming through the entire process. I 10/10 wouldn’t recommend a better team to shoot your wedding! Sameh, thank you so much for everything, you now gave us our special moment to look back on forever!
Sam and his crew at Bright Light Studios were more than fantastic! Naturally, choosing a photographer for your wedding is likely the most important choice as you hope for someone who can give their full attention and passion towards capturing the most meaningful moments of your life. We put our faith in Sam and his team, and we truly have found our photographer for life. From the very beginning Sam was extremely welcoming and understanding, easy to work with and flexible to our needs, and his eye for photography is unmatched. We had a blast at our engagement photoshoot with him, where we were able to connect personally with him and discuss our needs prior to our wedding day. We are so incredibly grateful for all the time and dedication Sam put forth towards our wedding and we will continue to recommend Bright Light Studios to any of our friends and family that are in need of a spectacular photography and videography crew.
Every moment during the wedding, during the reception, getting ready was captured by Sam and his team. We never had to ask them to take a photo because they were always attentive to what was happening and that made the whole night go so smoothly, as we knew Sam was helping us capture memories we will always cherish. From the engagement shoot to the wedding Sam and his team have provided the highest quality photos that match our style and preferences and we have been so happy with all the pictures we received. We could not be happier with how professional and amazing Sam and his team were, and have recommended them to a number of our friends and everyone.
Seriously, look no further. We hired Sameh as our photographer for our 7/21/2022 wedding. Sameh is a wonderful man and truly a professional in his field. He instantly was able to put everyone at ease. I simply cannot recommend him enough! A wedding always seems to go by so quickly and Sameh pictures allow me to relive the day. His pictures capture the love, joy and spirit of the day. Sameh was amazing start to finish. As soon as he showed up earlier than expected (was so happy about) he got right to work to make sure he maximized our experience. He was completely transparent every step of the way and worked with us to make sure we had everything in place for the wedding to run smoothly. And it couldn’t have gone better. I really can’t Say enough about how professional Sameh is and the quality of work that he provides. Now what you need to do be yourself enjoy the best time of your life and Sameh will multiple this by a million for you. Can’t wait to hire him for our next event.
One of a kind photography, very unique styles, edits and poses. Your pictures will look of really high quality. Not only that, but you will work with such an amazing photographer who will go way beyond to make sure he captures the shot you want and need. He is also really funny which helps bring out the best photos! Such a pleasure working with you Sam, I can't wait for my next special occasion just to work together again!
Bright Light Studios did an amazing job with our engagement and wedding pictures, we couldn't be happier! From the initial planning, going through ideas, practice shots, and through to the actual day of the event, they were an absolute pleasure to collaborate with. Sam really listened to us as we discussed our vision and comfort levels and offered several options to make sure we got the best poses and candid shots. On the day of the event, he was prompt, kind and cordial, and took excellent initiative to get to know family members and friends who we wanted to make sure were captured specifically at our wedding. The quality of Sam’s work, attention to detail and timeliness is bar none and he really helped us all feel extremely comfortable during the course of our work together. Sam is a consummate professional and is a genuine class act - you will not be disappointed!
We're so happy that we chose Sam to be our wedding photographer! He was 100% professional 100% of the time. Sam demonstrated a high level of exellence with his positive attitude, his punctualty and his customer service.
He was such fun to work with. He kept it light and he kept us smiling. We had a great time with him at the engagement shoot and we were well-prepared for the wedding because of it. His creativity and vision resulted in amazing photos! We definitely recommend Sam and Bright Light Studios!
Sameh did an AMAZING job throughout our entire time with him. He's extremely professional, accommodating, sweet, and worth every penny. He handles the stress of the chaos that comes with weddings and wedding planning extremely well and made us feel comfortable to come to him with any sudden changes knowing he's willing to accommodate. The complementary engagement photos came out SO beautiful - he truly makes any normal location look like a fairytale with his talent! He sent our wedding preview photos less than 48 hours after the wedding as well as tons of boomerangs that fully encompassed all the wedding details so beautifully. He was without a doubt the best vendor we hired for our wedding! He actually photographed my brother's wedding a few years back and we loved his work so much we had to book him for mine as well. He still managed to exceed our expectations! I would highly recommend BrighLightStudios to anyone getting married, you won't regret it!
THE ABSOLUTE BEST PHOTOGRAPHY TEAM YOU WILL EVER ENCOUNTER! Seriously, I cannot thank Sameh & his team enough for capturing our wedding perfectly. They are cooperative, responsive , take pressure off of being nervous & just a ton of fun to work with! I've dealt with other photographers/ studios for friends and family weddings but Bright Light Studios is by far the most incredible. They offer A great variety of packages for all events, fitting all budgets, and their editing is amazing. You get your photos/video on the timeline AS PROMISED. Wedding / event planning is hard enough so take some stress away by booking this studio for all your photography / videography needs. You will not be disappointed at all.
We can't thank Sam enough for capturing each special moment of our backyard wedding. While it was nothing fancy, the photos show how truly beautiful everything was. Even in the rain, we got some amazing shots. We highly recommend Sam!
We met and spoke to a few photographers, Before choosing a photographer and videographer for our wedding on 2/18/22. From the moment I spoke to Sam by phone, he was genuine, explained everything in detail, was knowledgeable, and professional. We of course booked him for our big day! Sam and his team shot our engagement photos and he made us feel so comfortable and he was funny. He knew how to capture photos only the way a true professional could.
On the day of our wedding, Sam arrived with his team on time and ready for buisness. He knew the shots I really wanted and made sure to capture them. He and his team were prepared and wasted no time which was important to us because we did not want to miss cocktail hour. Sam continued to be witty and made my bridal party, our parents, and the groomsmen feel comfortable! Both photographers and videographers worked hand in hand and it worked out amazingly.
Thank you Sam for capturing our special day so beautifully! Your passion and vision is remarkable and your professionalism does not go unnoticed! We will recommend you to friends and family. Thank you for being an amazing soul. Bright Lights Studios is first class.
Sameh and his team including Kim, Peter and Stephanie worked with us on our wedding day and boy let me tell you, they did not disappoint. What an amazing team to be able to work with on such a special day. Prior to our wedding day, Sameh worked with us for an engagement shoot and although the weather was very chilly and we were outdoors, the pictures still came out phenomenal. Sameh was very organized and provided a wedding day schedule to follow and keep us on track for the day. He was very easy to communicate with and made sure important key portraits were factored in. He was very accommodating and patient with both my husband and I and our families and in times when things got a bit hectic, he and his team were very calm and worked with us to keep the day running smoothly. Sameh’s creative vision in getting different shots were out of this world and even though it rained, he was creative and took advantage of it and still managed to take stunning portraits outside while it drizzled. He used different lighting, angles, and effects to get different shots and each one was truly beautiful. Sameh is a master at his craft and we were so pleased to have been able to work with him on our wedding day. He provided preview sneak peek shots days after the wedding which were SPECTACULAR! The rest of the photos were edited and completed days after. I highly recommend Sameh and the rest of the Bright Light Studios team for any of your event needs, you will not be disappointed! Thank you Sameh for everything you have done, we are delighted with all the shots you have captured and can’t wait to see the rest of the photos and videos!
Sameh at Bright Light Studios captured our wedding in ways we couldn’t have imagined. I can’t recommend him enough! He has an amazing eye for great shots and attention to detail, and his stylized edits are phenomenal.
We couldn’t be more happy with photos we got from the day.
On top of the great photography, Sameh is well organized and extremely professional. He was such a big help the day of! The engagement shoot we did before the wedding was extremely helpful to get my wife and I ready for our photos on the big day so that things went smoothly. It took a lot of stress off our plate.
He is also very well networked with venues and other wedding vendors, which made coordinating timelines for our wedding day so much easier. Whether it is for a wedding, engagement, or family photos, I will absolutely be recommending him to friends and family in the future!
I worked with Sam (engagement shoot) and Gerardo (wedding) and these guys will be our permanent photographers for life! They have such an amazing vision and execution, my pictures so far are gorgeous. Not to mention how quick! Only 1 day after my wedding they already sent about 50 pics for a sneak peek 😍 I have nothing but good things to say, they gave direction which was great because i have no idea how to pose! So easy to work with!
Had an awesome experience with Bright Light Studios. We booked with Sameh and he was responsive and explained all the packages thoroughly and gave his best recommendations. He booked us a complimentary engagement shoot and took photos in a beautiful location and turned the photos over within a week and I loved them ALL. For the wedding we worked with his head photographer - Gerardo and a lighting assistant - Nick. They were both so professional and top notch. They were creating posing and fixing my hair / dress/ veil for me. They were just stunning to work with. 10/10 recommend.
Sameh and his crew did a PHENOMENAL job for our engagement photos and wedding; not only doing what they were hired to do (taking photos and videos) but BEYOND that. They went as far as to even coordinate the schedule of events during our actual big day; making sure things flowed smoothly and keeping us in the loop as to what comes next. We were pleasantly surprised as to how smoothly everything went. Sam and his team were our “calm” in the midst of the craziness that comes with the territory of having a wedding. A lot was going on but he made it so so so simple for us. We will DEFINITELY be hiring Sam and his team for future events. Let me make this clear…. CHOOSE BRIGHT LIGHT STUDIOS! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED 🤗🤗
To all of you future brides looking for a photographer and videographer for your special day, look no further than Bright Light Studios. Their vision is impeccable. The patience and passion that Sam and his team display is admirable. They were nothing short of exceptional. My husband and I can not stop looking at our pictures. To say that we are in love with them is an understatement. We’re so incredibly pleased with our engagement, preview and wedding day pictures. The whole crew made us feel so comfortable which made the pictures look so natural. Sam’s love and expertise for photography really shined throughout the whole process. He captured all of those magical moments of our special day. We will cherish our beautiful pictures for the rest of our lives. Bright Light Studios, I would definitely recommend you to anyone looking for photography and videography. Thank you so much
Sam was the photographer for my wedding, and I honestly think he was the easiest and most pleasant vendor I had the pleasure of booking! We had our engagement shoot first with him, and even though me and my then fiancée had never done a shoot before Sam made us feel SO comfortable and had us laughing so much. It was exactly the same for our wedding shoot, even in my incredibly heavy dress in 80 degree weather Sam and his team made things so easy and organized and still fun! He was so responsive any time I had to reach out to him, super on top of things, and of course we absolutely LOVE all the pictures he took. A true professional in his field in every way, I can’t wait to book him again for any future events and we highly recommend him to anyone and everyone!!
Bright Light Studios are not your average wedding photographers, they are the BEST in the business. Not only do they capture exceptional images that embody the greatest memories of your special night but they create an experience like no other vendor can. Sam takes time to get to know the couple in a way that is genuine and authentic. Always putting the couple first he ensures the day goes smoothly and efficiently and handles anything that may hinder your experience. We thought we were hiring a wedding photographer but instead, we gained a friend. Bright Light Studios will go above and beyond to make sure your special day is captured in the most magical way possible. I cannot thank them enough for capturing our special day but also for the laughs and jokes that made our day that more memorable. I cannot wait to book them for our next special occasion!
Sam didn't only do our engagement and wedding pictures but other family and friends’ events and weddings as well. We were amazed by how professional and prompt he was with details, timing and being creative with his shots. He guides you throughout the shots, poses and recommends certain shots to bring out the scenery. I highly recommend using him for your events, he will not disappoint! Thank you, looking forward to working on future events.
Sameh and his team are absolutely incredible. My husband and I used Bright Light Studios for our engagement photo shoot and wedding this summer. Not only did the pictures come out amazing but Sameh was so professional, creative and kind. We were an hour late to our engagement shoot and Sameh waited at the location patiently and made sure to stick around longer to ensure we had a complete photo shoot. We loved the photo shoot location and he definitely knew the lay of the land and how to get all of the right pictures.
When it came time for our wedding, Sameh helped us plan out all of the details. We talked on the phone, texted, and emailed everything to make sure we had a solid schedule. I felt like he was our photographer AND event planner at the same time lol Him and his team have a lot of experience and made sure to cover everything that was important to us. We look forward to booking with them for all of our photography needs and future events. I can’t recommend them enough, overall 10/10 experience.
Sameh has been amazing from the moment we started working with him on our engagement photo shoot; we knew we made the right choice when we met him. Not only did he work efficiently to capture as many scenic and new photos, but he was also very patient and offered clear instructions. Not to mention his amazing sense of humor, he knows how to keep you engaged and full of smiles during the shoot. He is also willing to work with you on customizing a package that suits you best. He works very well with small/large groups and he’s experienced with a variety of cultural events. Overall, the entire team was very easy to work and coordinate with! Make sure to book him for ALL your events :)!!
My husband and I were very pleased working with Sameh and his team for our nikkah and engagement shoot. Sameh was very easy to work with and we appreciate how responsive, friendly and understanding he was. Our pictures turned out amazing and I highly recommend him and his team to anyone looking to have professional pictures/videos taken!
Words can’t explain how happy we were to have Sameh and his team to photograph/videograph our wedding. The energy him and his team brought made allowed us to actually enjoy our wedding with no doubt that our special moment was being captured with care. Their professionalism, charisma, and positive attitude made it a seamless experience. From being prepared with a wedding schedule prior to the wedding, coming early to scout the area for the perfect shot, following us on the dance floor to capture the happiness, the Bright Light Studio team did not miss a shot. We also had our engagement shoot in freezing cold weather and Sameh did not hesitate to deliver. From all the services that you pick for a wedding, the photographer is who you’ll want to make sure you get right; and if you don’t go with Bright Light Studios, you’re making a mistake! I’d recommend Sameh and his team a million times over!
The team at Bright Light Studios is a joy to work with and provided us with quality work and professional photos from our wedding day. Sameh took the lead and worked hand in hand with the Venue to coordinate some incredible shots and videos. We are extremely pleased with the work the team produced, and they made sure that our vision for the wedding became a reality. Our guests loved them, the venue praised their professionalism, and we could not be happier with the photos and videos.
Thank you to Sameh and the Bright Light Team! Keep up the great work.
Let me just start off by saying I am beyond grateful to have found this photographer. The past year has been rough for everyone with covid around, Sam was absolutely AMAZING to say the least!! I had to postpone my wedding not once but twice during the pandemic. He went above and beyond to assure we got exactly what we wanted both times and kept us so calm during the entire process. Fast forward to our wedding day which was 05/29/21 sam showed up two hours early for our wedding out of the goodness of his heart for us and stayed the entire night from 12pm-12am which was not on our contract! We only paid for ten hour coverage. Working with him was so easy he makes you instantly feel comfortable and he’s hilarious and will have you laughing the entire day. I’m so glad I chose this photographer his work is gorgeous and I’d do it again a million times !!!!!
5 Stars isn't enough to represent the amazing work that Sam and the whole Bright Light Studios team did for our wedding. Since the moment we got in touch with Sam, he made the whole process seamless from start to finish. Our original wedding was postponed because of covid, and everything after that fell apart. Sam was the first vendor to reach out to my wife and I to make sure that everything was okay, and gave us all the information we needed to plan ahead.
When we met Sam for our engagement shoot, he was extremely natural and comical. He made us feel like there wasn't even a camera in front of us. He captured our love and humor through his photography. There wasn't one picture that we disliked after he showed us the following day.
The following weekend was our wedding day. Sam knew how much we had gone through to get to that day, and he was able to utilize our emotions to capture the perfect pictures. Sam had called us a few days prior to walk through the day of the wedding, and gave us some advice as far as what he has seen in the past with timings. All of the wedding party members felt the same comfort working with Sam as we did.
On a day that is extremely stressful for both bride and groom, Sam never hesitated to send a random funny text to us throughout the day just to brighten up the mood. I appreciate Sam and the whole Bright Light Studios team for making our wedding the most memorable and amazing night of our lives. We look forward to working with him again in the future for when we start our little family :)
If anyone is looking for a top of the line photographer/videographer, look no more! Give Sam a call and let him work his magic for you!
I just wanted to leave a five star review for Sam and his team. My husband and I recently used bright light studio for our wedding in May. Sam was professional and easy to deal with during this whole process. He very responsive since our first contact.
Sam is a very talented photographer. The pictures I have seen this far have been nothing less than spectacular and breathtaking.
I was expecting our pictures to be ready in 2-3 months. To my surprise, they were ready less than 3 weeks after our wedding!
I would highly recommend using same with bright light studio for your wedding or future event.
Sam & his crew were awesome!! Very easy to get along with, made us feel very comfortable when taking pictures for our wedding and our engagement photos. He made sure he got the shots he needed regardless of the weather! We would definitely recommend him and use him again for any other events in the future!! Great work and value!!
Sameh and his team were a pleasure to work with! Somehow Sameh finds a way to capture every important moment on Camera. He is indeed talented and my husband and I were very happy with the results of his work. If you're looking for a team with an eye for detail, patience, good people's skills, creativity, and professionalism- you will find it all with the Bright Light Studios Team! This is definitely one of the investments we made for our wedding day that we do not regret. It was very well worth it! Thanks so much Bright Light studios! Keep up the amazing work :)
I must say, Bright Light Studio has made our wedding experience the absolute best! Sameh and his team worked so hard during our wedding and the turn out was beautiful, such creative and different style pictures. Sameh and his team was so patient and understanding. We will be using this vendor for all of our special events. Thank you Sameh and the team!
Bright Light Studios did an amazing job! My wife and I had Sameh's team for our engagement photos as well as our big day. The quality of the photos were incredible, exquisite, natural and well toned. I chose them specifically because of how they captured effective evening indoor and outdoor photos with awesome lighting and color. In a covid filled world, Sameh was able to safely, professionally, and beautifully photograph our dream photos. Highly recommend and looking forward to working with all of you again for a future celebration.
Where do I start, working with Sameh and the bright light studios team was the perfect choice for my wedding. Through every step of wedding planning (through a pandemic) Sameh was there to check in with us and make sure he went above and beyond to meet our needs. Bright light studios made sure they caught every moment of our wedding, exceeding all of our expectations and more. The quality of work is 10 out of 10, along with the details of their photo/videos and creativity. Sameh became more than just a photographer through the planning process, I’m glad to call him our friend.
Bright light Studios is truly the perfect choice if you are looking for the best.
Sameh, thanks again for everything!
First of all, if you don’t book BrightLightsStudio for your wedding photos or any event in your life then you missed out on the best photography/videography you’ll everrr have!! Sameh and his team are SO kind and soooo professional
My husband and I booked BrightLightsStudio for our wedding and Sameh made everything run so smoothly and we felt so comfortable working all together ! We also took engagement pictures and the photo shoot was much fun! We were planning our wedding through a pandemic and Sameh never ever failed to exceed all our expectations. We cannot wait to work with BrightLightsStudio again !!!!!
If you want incredible photos for your event don’t look any further cause BrightLightsStudio is the team to book !
Sameh we cannot thank you enough for all you’ve done for us and we are thankful to have gained a friend along the way!
Wow! What can I say, Sam did our engagement and wedding pictures and both times I have been BLOWN AWAY! Sams energy and creativity are amazing which makes his work breathe taking. I highly recommend using him you will not be disappointed!!
If you are thinking of hiring Sameh and his team as your wedding photographer/videographer, don’t give it another thought. We got married during the COVID-19 pandemic and were struggling to find a way to keep our guests safe while still having the wedding we wanted. Sameh was the most understanding and flexible vendor we could have asked for. He checked in with us throughout the planning process, gave us an amazing engagement photoshoot, was always available by text/email/phone, and did not hesitate when we had to move our wedding indoors five hours before the wedding. Him and his team are the funnest people to work with and were punctual and made sure we got all the photos we wanted. During the wedding, Sameh was there to take any pictures that we needed without us even thinking or looking for him. He had our pictures ready within a few weeks which is so amazing and to top it off, the pictures were magical and better than I would have ever imagined. I recommend him hands down!
Having lost money booking one venue and having to book another wedding on short notice due to COVID, Sameh and his team were there he whole time. Since February, Sameh was always available to answer a text or call and accommodate us to his full extent. We had a lovely wedding on October 22, 2020, and my wife Noor and I couldn't have been more pleased with our wedding photos. Now since we had booked our second venue on such short notice, our engagement shoot was very difficult to plan, and yet Sameh delivered us some of the best photos we could take, having shot us in his backyard just to get to know us better before the big day! It's important to mention that you shouldn't cheap out on your wedding photos, because they'll be the one reminder you have of your perfect night. BLS isn't necessarily expensive, but they're one of the best studios you could ever work with. Also want to say that Sameh is a very funny character. He easily made the typical awkward photoshoot very enjoyable within minutes, due to his outgoing comedic personality. I promise you, if you're reading this review, you don't have to look for another photo vendor anymore. You won't regret this? 11/10 experience.
We are so happy with our decision to go with bright light studios for our wedding photography/videography. Sameh made us feel extremely comfortable during our engagement shoot and our wedding day. He helped ease our stress and made sure we got all of the shots we wanted. He's very organized and sticks to his schedule. We're so happy with how our photos turned out and can't wait to see our wedding video. Thank you so much Sameh!
Working with Sameh and his team was definitely one of the highlights of my wedding day! They made the process so simple, smooth and less nerve wracking. Sameh made sure to calm me down whenever I seemed to get overwhelmed and nervous for the long day ahead. From the very first time my husband and I worked with Sameh, which was the engagement shoot, we felt super comfortable and Sameh made us feel more like friends than clients. I’ve followed the Bright Light Studios page for as long as I can remember and always knew I’d want to book with Sameh when my wedding came around. His team was incredibly professional and hardworking. They go above and beyond in every way possible. I have to give a specific shoutout to Gerardo who literally helped me all day with my super long train. He’s the reason my dress turned out so perfect in all the photos. I found it incredible that Sameh was able to capture literally everything through photos alone! We found an emotional picture of my sister and she was stunned wondering how and when he was able to get that because she didn’t see a camera angled towards her at that moment. That’s another thing worth mentioning. Although the camera crew is around the whole night obviously, they aren’t in the way which allows the bride/groom and guests to experience the night as if they aren’t there at all. I’m literally going on a tangent explaining just how incredible our experience was. The point of this entire review is to say: BOOK BRIGHT LIGHT STUDIOS FOR YOUR NEXT EVENT!! You will not be disappointed!
As we were planning our wedding, we wanted to ensure we did our research and took our time in finding a photographer. In our first meeting with Sam to learn more about his style and approach, we were hooked and actually booked him on the spot. A big part of this was based on Sam’s vision, style and approach which he clearly explained while answering our questions truthfully and honestly. Not having much experience on our side on how this all worked, he walked us through the process, options available and talked about his desire to really get to know us to better serve us.
After selecting our option, Sam let us know an engagement photo shoot was included - which was a great add-on. Our shoot was a few months prior to our wedding and Sam and his team did a fantastic job which was a precursor to our wedding. We met a couple of more times and finalized all items a week or two prior to our wedding. For our wedding day, Sam and his team went above and beyond. He proved to be very organized and his team covered all the details and they took tons of pictures throughout our entire day and night. We had a fairly large bridal party (13 people) and got some funny and unforgettable shots prior to our wedding. There was no stone left uncovered and he truly captured so many or our priceless moments. The entire day was a long one but Sam kept to the schedule got it all done without adding any stress or worry to our day. We are very fortunate and thankful that Sam and his team were able to significantly contribute to our wedding celebration. It was great and enjoyable working with the team but more importantly the quality of the work and service were exceptional.
Sam is hands down the best photographer there is. He has an amazing artistic vision and is so easy to work with. He knows how to make you look your best despite any insecurities you may have. If you’re a little camera shy, he guides you through the whole thing and really brings out your personality. We definitely found a photographer for life with Sam and Bright Light Studios and we plan on using him for a bunch of upcoming family events.
To be honest, this was the best investment that my husband and I made towards our wedding! Truly, the most professional, yet down to earth family atmosphere service ever! Sameh is God sent to every couple when it comes to capturing their essence, their story, and their love for one another, without putting pressure on them to be “models” just posing for a shot! His work and his personally speak for themselves and show impeccably in his masterpieces! And yes, he can pretty much do anything.. I mean he actually had a dragon and a wolf in our GOT themed engagement shoot.. what more can you ask for! Sameh will work with you to find the package and the budget that best fits your needs, and you will always end up with much more quality service than what you paid for or even imagined! I have friends who’ve been married for years and have still to get pictures of their most special day from their photographers; with sameh, he literally gives you some footage and pictures within a day! Thank you to the entire BLS team for preserving our most special day in the best way possible ♥️
I don't know where to start but by simply saying Sameh is one of the most professional and sincere people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting! He not only made me and my husband feel comfortable on our wedding day, he went above and beyond for us to make sure our pictures turned out amazing. He did my brothers wedding 4 years ago and I knew that we had to have him for my wedding. He really is an amazing photographer and his crew is beyond kind and professional. His pictures are creative and really captures the moment. I am grateful enough to have Sameh and his crew taking, capturing, and spending our special day with us!!
My wife and I spent months and hours looking into and contacting wedding photographers. We ended up choosing Sameh and Bright Light Studios mainly because of the good reviews that people we personally knew had for him. He really is awesome to work with. He will try his best to work with your budget and he will try his best to make a very stressful time (let’s be real weddings are awesome and all but planning one is super stressful) fun. He’ll make you laugh as you pose for photos. I’m genuinely glad we went with Bright Light Studios . You can tell Sameh really enjoys doing this because of his dedication, work ethic, and phenomenal skills he brings to the table!
Where do I begin!? Sam, I’m very grateful to have had you as my photographer on my wedding day. You went above and beyond for me (even when I drove you crazy, Lol). Thank you for being the most understanding, kind, and patient person throughout this process. It meant a lot to us. Your character is one of a kind. Aside from the pleasant experience, the pictures you provided us with were some of the most beautiful pictures I’ve ever seen. Thanks again!
Working with Sameh and the Brightlight Studios team was a dream. They were so flexible, understanding, and fun! We both had so much fun at our engagement shoot and the team did everything they could to make us feel comfortable. Weddings are stressful and Brightlight Studios did all they could to help alleviate that stress and work through it with us. They are talented and truly wanted to see us happy and content! Prior to the wedding, we worked on a schedule with the team and that really set the tone of the wedding schedule and the team did their absolute best to carry it out. I loved the option of being able to send the photographers sample photos that I really loved so that they can get a better understanding of our vision. Also, loved all the unique shots that the team would take! I feel lucky that I got to have such amazing photographers and videographers at my wedding and they are worth every penny. The photos are absolutely beautiful and I love looking through them.
Bright Light Studios is an amazing team! Sam and Shazia took care of everything I wanted and expected and more. They made me feel comfortable from our very first meeting. They were on top of everything and got every little detail. If anyone at the wedding asked for something, they did it without hesitation. Not only have I used them for my engagement photos and wedding but also for family photos. They go above and beyond and I would recommend them for any event!
I cannot even express how amazing Bright Light Studios is. I’ve followed their work for years before I got engaged and always said “I will book him one day” and I sure made it happen. It’s not only about the beautiful work they produce, it’s their work ethic !! Sameh is so passionate about his work. He takes the time to explain what he will do during a shoot just so you fully understand the concept and technicality behind it all. I liked knowing the motive behind every shot because it helped me pose better and understand, instead of me just smiling aimlessly not knowing what my photographer is trying to achieve. Also, on my wedding day Sameh and Shazia were attentive in every way. Shazia is super kind and helpful she always made sure I was calm and collective. They worked perfectly with timing, and Sameh knew when to grab my husband and I for the most PERFECT SHOTS ! He truly captured every moment, and I loved that my guests were getting much attention from Sameh as he captured all their perfect moments too! Nonetheless they are so wonderful to be around, they’re both outgoing and funny I never stopped laughing around them. I’m trying to find any excuse of an occasion just to work with them again lol. They are truly wonderful, genuine people and they are worth every single dime !!!
- A million thanks Brightlight studios !
Sincerely,
Tamam &Mohamed
