I started to rain and snow the entire day! If he didn't think about that we wouldn't of had the amazing view that we do in the video. He also would make sure that if we needed anything at all, he would run and go get it. Anything from a drink, or a jacket because it was cold, or needing one of the groomsman that wasn't there. He made sure it all worked out. My wife Jordan and I have never seen a vendor work so well with all other vendors. Out of all of the gifts we got from the wedding, truly and honestly the video Kay and Capturing Arts did for us was the best gift we could have ever had. It brought my wife and myself to tears. It captured every moment possible. Something we are forever grateful for. Capturing Arts is who my wife and I would suggest for anyone who is getting married. AND when you do go with them, make sure to ask for Kay as well!

do everything they could to get the best shots for my wedding despite the time crunch. His sisters were the sweetest! I can be pretty self-conscious at times but his sisters made sure every little detail was perfect; from my hair, to jewelry being out of place, to dress. During all the important moments at my wedding; the first-dance, cake-cutting, speeches, etc, I never once had to search for Kay and his team. They were on top of things and I didn't have to worry about waiting on them to do things so they could get shots. Kay always responded to my calls even when he was busy. I was patient with my wedding trailer highlights and full film because I know nice things take time. Though he may take a little longer than other vendors, Kay's work speaks for itself. The quality of my wedding videos are beyond professional. Everyone was impressed by the angles, the editing, the style, etc from my video. I can go on, but I'd like to end with some advice to future couples that are on the fence to hire Capturing Arts. Go with your gut like I did and trust these guys to make your memories for your special day-- you won't regret it.

He and his sisters took care of the little things like fixing my hair, fluffing out my dress, driving me to the reception venue, and buying me slurpees! Now that is going above and beyond for a bride!I was so stressed and wanted everything to be picture perfect for my big day and Kay made sure to make my vision come to life! He really listens to his clients and makes you feel involved every step of the way so that you are more than satisfied with the final product. From my pre-wedding shoot to the reception day, people could not stop talking about Kay's work! My husband and I looked like movie stars and received so many compliments on our photos and videos. He has a true gift in cinematography and his dedication really shows in his work. I can't recommend him enough and can't wait to work with him again in the future!

mely professional and did an excellent job of coordinating photographs and videos and highlighting the couple and all hundreds of guests. His passion really showed through his work, as his photographs and videos were some of the best I have ever seen in my entire life! And I can't even begin to describe how amazing his team was. I wore six inch heels the day of and it can get tough rushing around everywhere to get photos taken - one off his team members was so kind as to take off her own shoes and have me wear them as we walked from the different sites where we shot and would take them on and off. They really take care of you and make your day truly special. And the surprises didn't end there. A few weeks after the wedding, not only did the team deliver edited photos on time, but they added a special gift of two large canvas printouts of the best shots from the night. And they even host a gala to honor their brides. Talk about a team that thinks of everything! Book them now. You will be so glad you did.

He made the day so easy and chill for everyone, it just confirmed that my husband and I had made the right decision in hiring Capturing Arts. I was blown away before I even saw the highlight video! His team arrived early and stayed late, capturing literally every detail and making sure the important ones made it into the highlight reel. Kay even hand delivered our video and made special gifts for us too! When the video was done, we shared it on social media and people that didn’t even attend our wedding were sobbing! They were texting me saying it was such a beautiful film and the flow of it just made them cry their eyes out! We watched it again on our anniversary and it makes us teary eyed seeing so much love in one video. We can’t wait to show our babies in the years to come! If you are on the fence about a videographer- don’t be. Kay will make your day run smoothly, make sure you’re in a calm state of mind and give you a beautiful film that will last a lifetime!

The entire team was punctual, tireless and encouraging, even to those of us who have been camera shy! They make sure to get the best shots with their creativity and vision, and the final products truly show their passion for this business. Each photo and video clip seemed like it was curated perfectly, and we couldn't be happier with our final products.

Every moment, every special detail.... there was nothing that was missed or overlooked. Kay was everywhere he needed to be at the right time. It is clear that he has a deep passion for what he does. He takes great pride in making the customer happy and not just that, but truly putting them at ease. I never once worried about the quality of my pictures or if there was going to be issues with the photos/videos. His company is top- notch, and he is highly professional, prompt, thoughtful, and most importantly, kind. Every time I have worked with him he has gone above and beyond for us, even now several months after the wedding. We have since moved out of state, but in the future when we need photography services again, whether it be a maternity shoot or newborn pics, if there is any way possible whatsoever that we can travel back to Michigan, there is no one else I want to work with. Let me be absolutely clear: YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY YOU HIRED HIM. If you want a fairytale dream wedding, you need fairytale dream photos... and that is what Capturing Arts delivers.

He will take care of you like a family. He will constantly make sure you drink water and make sure you eat. (this is all when he is on his feet for 8 straight hours! ). 4. He makes everything so personal. He treated us like a family. On our engagement photoshoot day, it started raining unexpectedly, he found a prettier place for our pictures. He took us to his house to change outfits in between the shoots. We met his family there, who btw are really beautiful people. He also fed us before our next shoot. He is the sweetest person ever! 5. He and his team is very accommodating and work tirelessly to deliver what the client wants. They would go above and beyond to understand what you like and deliver what you desire. He is on point always. 6. Desi weddings are stressful and even more stressful is to cover every part of the wedding, as there are so many things happening simultaneously. Kay and his team understands all of that and are very experienced to handle the wedding well. 7. Errors or oversight are always unintentional and Kay and his team try hard to avoid them. They are very professional to take care of any last minute changes or unexpected alterations. They are cognizant that its your big day and they will make sure that it is nothing less than a dream. They always make up for any error that happens by chance. 8. Our family loved him and his sisters. They would not stop praising his team throughout the wedding. They praised his style, talent, professionalism and loved his honestly and sincerity. He is very hardworking. Last but not the least. He has delivered all my expectations on time and I am very pleased with his fast response. He is always sweet and kind. He showers us with so much love. You are awesome Kay! I highly recommend him and his team. Trust him!!

g your own wedding pictures, threatening you - that if you call again he will not even bother editing it and worst yet, will only give you the final footage once a positive review has been left for him. For the first week till the money is paid, Kea, would call every day to remind you to pay the remaining amount and be really sweet/excited about the wedding, but as soon as the entire payment was made that nature changed. We specifically, in a face-to-face meetings, asked for pictures with nature and garden backgrounds for our traditional Indian outfit couple shoot. He instead forces us to go to downtown Detroit to take pictures in a graffiti filled parking lot with people constantly walking through the frame and when we said this is not what we want, he blatantly said ‘No, you never told me anything’. He will take pictures that look good in his collection, not what you have asked for. Kae kept insisting on more takes because even he realized the footage looked terrible. Due to his retakes, we arrive 2 hours late for our own event to fuming guests who had been just sitting and waiting. Post wedding – He informs us that he will get back, but after 2-3 months of no contact we message him, only to be yelled at that “You will get it when you get it, stop bothering me”. Fearing that he would destroy the pictures we quietly waited, 3 months, 4 months, nothing. After the 12-16 weeks as mentioned in the contract, were over we contacted him again to please let us know the process so we can be a part of the process, only to be told that if we contact him again he would not bother doing any of it. EIGHT months have gone by, now due to another bride having written a bad review, he is falsely accusing us of it and has withheld our footage he contractually has signed and agreed to! He won’t stop there, our family member crossed paths with him at another wedding, he had the nerve to ask why we won’t post a positive review, when our family member said we were not happy, he proceeds to yell at her. Other brides have also contacted us about this mis-treatment however they are holding their tongue, out of fear that he will destroy their memories too! Not worth the money or time. Would give Zero stars if i could.

oth. I literally searched for days because I wanted my wedding to look like a movie, like a cinematic look. The day I came across Capturing Art’s, my search stopped. After watching their videos, my heart literally stopped. I was OVER the moon and hopeful they were available. I went to their office and spoke to Kay. I had all these ideas in my head about doing an awesome music video for our engagement versus a traditional photo shoot. He was so ecstatic and made my dream come true! He literally arranged a Harley for my husband to drive. That is something I will never forget. Our wedding was 3 days of full on chaos. I was so nervous about how I looked, how I was posing, standing and even sitting. Kay’s whole team looked out for me, from fixing my hair to helping me relax. When we received our full films, I was blown away. Most videographers don’t take their time to edit the full films or condense them. I truly was grateful he took the time to do this. The pictures were also BEAUTIFUL. We had SO many, it was nearly impossible to pick my favorites for the photo album. The photo album Kay had made me was the highest quality I’ve ever seen. I know it’s something that will last, so I can show my children one day. Last but not least, we received our highlight video. I have no words, I was speechless. It was the most touching video I’ve ever seen. Every time I watch it, it brings tears to my eyes. It allows me to relive some of the best moments of my life. Kay was so sweet during the whole process, and literally gave me everything I wanted. He also made us a beautiful canvas, which was perfect artwork for our new home! Overall, Kay’s positive outlook and excitement makes it so fun to work with him. I am such a picky person and he made me feel nothing short of a Bollywood princess.

I am not sure where to begin as this has been the worst vendor I have dealt with throughout my wedding journey. In the beginning, Kay was extremely nice towards me during our meetings. However, he definitely bashed other vendors and I remember ...
him saying that, "all those other guys do is hire someone else out who isn't even professional because they overbook themselves". He promised he wouldn't do that to me. He ended up sending both of his sisters (who were super sweet and have been throughout this whole ordeal) and someone else who I believe is his uncle for my Mendhi day. He didn't let us know about this until our final meeting which was a few weeks before my wedding. Anyhow, Kay signed a contract with me that states "online gallery with images (password protected) within one month". My wedding events were August 11, 2017 & August 13, 2017 and I didn't receive my wedding pictures until a whopping 3 months later on November 29, 2017. He did send me my mendhi pictures on time which are terrible and look unedited when compared to my wedding pictures. This leads me to believe he rushed through them just to give me SOMETHING on time. I am embarrassed to show anyone my mendhi pictures. His contract also states, "video & photo processing time can take up to 12-16 weeks depending on the client's effort being involved in the tailoring process...". I did not receive my full films and highlight trailer until April 17, 2018. Kay had excuses every time I would contact him regarding my films. He is also not confident in his own work because "apparently his work cannot flourish without praise". I will not praise you if I am not happy with what was delivered to me. I have been nothing but patient with him. This leads me to the phone conversation we had on April 10, 2018. He believes that "someone has changed or altered" my mind. Um...what? He then proceeded to yell and shout at me until his uncle, Arkan, had to yell at HIM in the background and tell him to calm down and "give the lady what she wants". I'm glad someone here has sense. Kay also said, "I am going to cry alone in my corner now because you didn't praise me". Anyhow, after Arkan took the phone from Kay, Arkan & I spoke and Arkan was able to deliver the full films and highlight trailer with my modifications on a USB by April 17, 2018. Amazing how all of that happened within a week, huh? This is just the surface of all the incidents that happened. Also, I have noticed that the Capturing Arts team has left a client's personal information (phone number & home address) down below. Don't even try that with me, Capturing Arts.

They are a family run business and incredibly passionate about what they do. We felt very comfortable having them at our wedding and you could tell that they were going above and beyond to capture our entire day with creativity.

We received our video a short time after the wedding and we could not have been happier. It was truly perfect. They captured our relationship so well. From serious moments, to the fun moments, even our goofy personalities. It represented who we are as a couple. Everyone who has seen the video has gone on and on about how it is the best wedding video they have ever seen and I couldn't agree more. Not only did I already believe spending the money on videography for our wedding would be worth it- but again, everyone we talk to can't help but saying whatever money we spent to get the video we did was worth it! They captured every moment of our wedding day and made it look absolutely beautiful. The drone was even a hit at the wedding. After receiving our video they have continued to stay in touch.

I was sold from the phone call because he took the time from the beginning to ensure me that our wedding would be perfect (from a photographer POV, haha). CA understands how important your event is and treat you as if you ARE family. Kay is passionate about his profession and you can tell it by talking to him for 5 min. From the planning to the actual shooting/filming of the engagement and wedding photos, Kay and his team (I worked with Karlyn) are the people you need there. Our wedding went off without a hitch. Kay was there from start to finish. I NEVER HAD TO SEARCH FOR SOMEONE TO TAKE MY PICTURE ON THE WEDDING DAY. This is huge because CA does not contract your wedding day out to another photographer, like some other companies. All in all, the finish product speaks for itself.

We highly recommend using Capturing Arts for your wedding, you will not be disappointed. We are so thankful that we have beautiful pictures that we are able to share with our friends and families. Thank you Capturing Arts!!

We used Capturing Arts for photography. Kay was AMAZING. When we first met him, he was so full of energy and great ideas, we really liked him right off the bat. We looked at all his previous albums and really loved the look he had. It was drama...
tic and unique and modern - exactly what we wanted. He did our engagement photos and we had a lot of fun at Belle Isle and Detroit River Days. We got our pictures back in like 2 weeks because Kay works tirelessly on them and they were incredible. We knew right then that we had made the perfect choice. On our wedding day, they were prompt, even early and took charge. Kay took all the shots I wanted and more, finding great new looks that I loved. We had our wedding pictures back in about 3-4 weeks, pretty quickly for wedding and had so many beautiful pictures to go through. Everyone loved all of them, especially us! They did an amazing job and we loved working with Capturing Arts. My only wish was that we had a big enough budget to get video with them because they do awesome videos! We were so happy with our choice of Capturing Arts, and we know you will be too!

They were friendly and patient, worked well with both sides of the family as well as my other vendors. We had initial meeting with Kay to discuss what we wanted, and then we had several meetings after to add finishing touches. Meetings were short and productive, Kay really listens to what you want and adds his own touch. Having the videos available online is a plus since a lot of family could not make it. Kay and his team are very passionate about their job, they love doing this and it shows when they are working and in their final product. He doesn't rush the final video, and it shows with the final cut. We definitely recommend CapturingArts.

Where do I even start?! From our beautiful, elegant and artistic Save the Date video, to the most electrifying Wedding day highlight video I've ever seen to the Wedding movie that truly captured our love! Capturing Arts did such an AMAZING job ...
on every aspect of our journey to the altar and our send off to the honey moon. They didn't miss a thing! They captured the smallest details which I truly appreciated because the memory of this journey will live on beyond just a picture. We can relive our day again and again. My husband originally didn't think that we needed a videographer but after he began to see the amazing work from Kay and team, he noted that it was the best investment. I cried on our honeymoon because I could not remember elements of our day. Once we saw the highlight video and final film, I remembered everything! We thank Capturing Arts for giving us such a priceless gift in the form of a everlasting memory of our love and celebrating it with the people closest to us! If you are on the fence about using the best videographer, let me tell you that you will not be disappointed with them. Kay went ABOVE AND BEYOND the usual to make us happy! We will forever remember working with them! Thank you Capturing Arts!!!!!!!

True cinematography work and high attention to detail! We have watched it over and over and thanks to Capturing Arts we will never forget a minute of one of the most important days of our lives since they included every beautiful moment ! We couldn't believe how fast and hard they work to deliver our whole package in such a timely manner, amazing to have such a short wait time since we all know nobody can wait to see they're wedding pics/video.

Capturing Arts is just amazing. There is not enough words that can describe it all. Kay and his team have a passion for this work which made it 10x more better when it came for me to choose a photo/video. To me, in the beginning I was just look...
ing around for just videography and came across Kay through another referral from my DJ. After briefly speaking to him and meeting in person I just fell in love with his work, photo AND video. I couldn't resist but to get the package from him. Of course I did my research, and I can tell you I DEFINITELY did my research and none others compared to Capturing Arts, that's for sure. Nothing in comparison as in the work Kay does and also the friendly/family vibe you get from him. Customer service was very important to me, I needed to feel like I was taken care of because they wanted to and not just for the money. And after shopping around, checking my options, I just did not get the same treatment from any other photo/video vendors as I did from Capturing Arts. That is what sold me, was the GENUINE kindness I got from them. Kay was there to capture all of my memories from Day 1 of the wedding events. Kay and his team, Karlyn & Karen, were very punctual on each event, very friendly and easy to get a long with. Karlyn was also there with Kay during my engagement photoshoot and was just amazing. She had even offered to help me with other things such as ideas for my centerpieces and such, a genuine offer to help out! How many people would do that for no reason? That's right, none. With Capturing Arts they go above and beyond to make things easier for the bride in any way they can. You don't have to feel like you have to make small talk to make it little less awkward because it was not a single moment where it was awkward with them. And as for Karen, I just met her day of one of my wedding related events just like Karlyn and Kay, she is just as easy to get along with. At one point during my bridal makeup, I didn't know what to think of my makeup too much or too little, but Karen was there to ease that stress with just couple simple words. You can be yourself with them, no filter, just your plain self. Now lets get back to Kay, well I can honestly say he has been like a brother to me, why I say that is because brothers always want to do things for the best interest for their sister. During the whole time even after the wedding, he made my video and photo just breathtaking. If I said I wanted something in a certain way and if he felt it would not be the best decision he will tell me. He doesn't just do whatever he's told to but he actually does what is the best. Of course he listens to the bride as well, he worked with me to make me happy but because of his honest opinions and ideas my album, and video came out better than I have imagined. I even told Kay my future events I want him to be there, I don't trust anyone else to capture my special moments besides the best to do that and that's more reason to spend time and see Kay, Karen and Karlyn again. If I had not moved out of state after my wedding and life hasn't got so busy, these people are definitely to consider as your own people/friends/family. Now I understand the other feedback left by other people, and every word of it has been true. The best decision of my wedding process! I can go on but this review is already long so I'll stop.. Thank you Kay, Karlyn and Kay for everything, and rest of the CAPTURING ARTS team!!

to know us that day, he showed us samples of photos he thought we would like. He nailed our style and we knew he would deliver a superior product. At our engagement session he really listened to what we liked pose wise and took amazing pictures. Before the wedding, he was very organized and went over with us exactly the types of photos and poses we would like to do during our big day. We had our reception in Detroit, and we told him we wanted lots of pictures in and around the City. We mentioned Eastern Market as a necessary spot, and he took amazing pictures there. He surprised us by taking us to the Fisher Building and we were blown away with the pictures he took. Some of our best photos were in the Fisher Building! Kay also surprised us with a canvas of our engagement photos at the wedding, it was a very nice surprise. After the wedding, he had our photos completed within a short time. When we wanted to add some flair to some of our photos, Kay invited us to his studio and sat with us until we created what we wanted. He also helped set up our photo album. At first, we did not want an album. However, Kay insisted that it was a necessity and boy was he right. He already had most of our favorites picked out and the process was seamless and done online. When we received the album we were blown away with the quality and how amazing our pictures looked. He also threw in a canvas of our favorite photos from the Fisher Building. We both highly recommend Kay and his team for your big day. He was with us all day at no extra charge and he captured all of our big moments. He adds artistic flair at just the right time, and he is willing to listen and take advice from the bride and groom on what they want. Kay and his team were very easy to work with and they helped take the stress out of what was a very hectic day.

You can see it in their interactions and their product. We were delighted to see our preview video posted shortly after the wedding and all aspects of the contract were upheld. Before the final version of the wedding video, Kay went over our request and made sure we had all the elements of each event documented to our liking.

video was edited a little bit better. I truly understand that he didn't want to leave anything out, but I am less likely to watch the entire video now because there are 2 full DVDs with the same people dancing - it would have been nice to have an abbreviated version of some of the best moments on the dance floor. I also wish the ceremony had a scene selection (e.g. vows, readings, kiss). And finally, he did a nice job of showing all of the people who were at our wedding, but wish there was some sound with it (e.g. ask people to give us advice or say something into the camera).
