Absolutely incredible experience! We hired Dream Photo and Video for our engagement party, and they completely exceeded our expectations. From the moment they arrived, they were professional, warm, and made us feel so comfortable. They had a perfect blend of creativity and attention to detail, capturing both the big moments and the small, candid interactions that truly made the night special.
The photos are stunning! Every image is beautifully composed. We especially loved how they managed to capture the energy and joy of the event without being intrusive. They were always in the right place at the right time! They even stayed a little longer than planned to capture a few more key moments, which meant the world to us. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer and will definitely be recommending them to everyone. Thank you so much for perfectly preserving such a special night, and I cannot wait to see the photos and videos you guys will capture on our wedding day!
We had our DREAM WEDDING at peachorchard on 7/7/23 and DREAM TEAM killed it and made it happen!
Shiva and Sam are all you need to make ur day happen !!!
They go all out, I cannot express enough how carrying they are ! Shiva litterly plan every single detail of your day for you !
We had our sneak peak photos at the end of the night & ! and our teaser video was ready within a week !
DREAM TEAM
Shiva and Sam are angels!!! They were not only responsive, thoughtful, and KIND throughout the whole wedding process but they made our wedding day unforgettable. Shiva helped me put on my veil, reapply lipstick (even held on to it in her purse), and be photo ready the entire time. They are the best of the best in terms of personal and professional. They created a mini video teaser the very night of our wedding that ended at midnight and had sneak peek photos sent the next morning! They have become close and dear friends<3 There is no one that would go above and beyond more than this team. We cant wait to work with them in the future!
From the day we met Shiva and Sam at the open house of our Venue, my husband and I knew we wanted them to capture our Special Day! Shiva and Sam are AWESOME!! Shiva did an amazing job at paying attention to every detail such as helping with poses, creating a timeline for the day of to make sure everything ran smoothly, doing all the behind the scenes to make sure every picture came out great and making sure I always had lipstick on. Sam did a spectacular job at capturing STUNNING Shots and editing them!! The amount of time he dedicated to editing every picture and our wedding video is priceless!! They are so nice they even had us over at their house for breakfast for our photo and video reveal session! That’s something that means a lot to us and we will never forget that nice gesture they had with us! Thanks to their dedication we have Stunning pictures and a Beautiful video that we will cherish forever!!!!!
I cannot begin to express how grateful we are for the incredible experience we had with Shiva and Sam. From the moment we first met them until the final delivery of our breathtaking photos, they exceeded every expectation and left us with memories that will last a lifetime.
From the very beginning, it was clear that our photographers were not only skilled professionals but also genuinely passionate about their craft. Their dedication to capturing the essence of our love story was truly inspiring. They took the time to get to know us as a couple, our unique personalities, and our vision for the shoot. They listened attentively to our ideas and offered valuable suggestions that elevated the overall experience.
On the day of the shoot, their friendly and warm demeanor immediately put us at ease, allowing us to relax and be ourselves in front of the camera. Their ability to create a comfortable atmosphere made the entire process fun and enjoyable, resulting in genuine smiles and laughter that were beautifully reflected in the final images.
What impressed us the most was their exceptional eye for detail. They had a keen sense of composition, lighting, and timing, capturing the most precious moments with flawless precision. Whether it was an intimate embrace, a stolen glance, or a candid interaction, they effortlessly immortalized those magical instances, creating a stunning narrative that perfectly conveyed the depth of our love.
Moreover, the post-production work they carried out was simply outstanding. The level of care and attention they put into each photograph was evident, as they meticulously edited and enhanced the images while maintaining their natural beauty. The final collection of photographs surpassed our wildest dreams, encapsulating the joy and love we felt during our engagement period.
Beyond their immense talent, our photographers demonstrated unparalleled professionalism throughout the entire process. They were prompt in their communication, responsive to our inquiries, and delivered our photos sooner than expected. They were respectful of our preferences and went above and beyond to ensure that we were completely satisfied with the final results.
In conclusion, our experience with Shiva and Sam as our photographers was nothing short of incredible. Their passion, skill, and unwavering commitment to capturing our love story surpassed our highest expectations. We wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone in search of photographers who can turn fleeting moments into timeless treasures. Trust them with your precious memories, and you will undoubtedly be fully satisfied and amazed by their work.
THE DREAM TEAM
We had the best experience with the Dream team. They deserve more than five stars.
My wedding date was around the corner, and I was unsure about having a photographer and a videographer because I don’t like pictures/footage of me. I am not photogenic. I can’t pose, I don’t have good angles, and I feel awkward in front of a camera. I knew I had to move beyond my fears and the only possible way was to find the Dream team.
It was an automatic click after having a fifteen-minute phone conversation with Shiva. She immediately understood my wants and needs, and I received more valuable information from her than anyone else. It became clear that we had found a great match, both in terms of style and personality. I was in search of the best photographers and videographers in town, and I am proud to say that I had found them!
Shiva was always so responsive to the many questions and concerns I had. I could expect a response from her within minutes. Not to mention that she was the only vendor who checked on me daily. No doubt she was as invested as we were in making our wedding a dream wedding.
She created a timeline that was essential to the success of our special day. The timeline detailed the steps to follow throughout the event. It not only managed our time effectively, but it allowed the Dream team to capture all the important moments.
Shiva and Sam work in sync at all times. Sam did an amazing job of posing me in a way that made me feel and look beautiful, natural, and confident. He is extremely knowledgeable, carried great equipment, chose great site locations, and transformed an ordinary wedding into a work of art. Shiva was the best at boosting my confidence.
Further, the videographers Cesar and Rene are talented, professional, cinematic storytelling-gifted individuals. They cared, listened, and were flexible. They did a fabulous job capturing the authentic moments in our day and putting them together to create something magical that we can rewatch and share for years to come.
The dream team is so attentive. I am happy to say that we did it – we navigated the wedding sea smoothly with their helpful guidance. We were guided by true professionals through a process they master to perfection. I now realize that having photographs and videos that last a lifetime are beautiful memories that we will cherish our whole lives.
I wouldn’t take the risk of using anyone other than the best for your big day so that is the reason I recommend the Dream team 110%. They offer more to your pictures and footage than your typical photographers and videographers. The quality of the work is stunning, and the angles and lighting are perfect. They exceeded my wildest expectations.
The results speak for themselves. Take a glance at the picture below. I love the Dream team!

Shiva and Sam did a wonderful job for my wedding. We asked them for candid shots and they really delivered. We are so pleased with their work. They are perfection oriented and I couldn’t be happier with my photos. We really appreciate y’all!
My husband and I got married at an event venue in Pasadena, TX, and the venue was super interesting - like a western town! We knew that photography would be of the utmost importance, and finding a photographer that understood the venue, the angles, and the lighting was super important to us. Thankfully, Dream Photo & Video was a preferred vendor for this location, and once we saw their work, we knew they were the company to choose. My husband takes photography seriously (even more than me) and ranked hiring a photographer almost above all other vendors (besides the pastor, lol).
Shiva and Sam take a personal approach to their work, which we appreciate and value. From the first meeting with us to the last, and everything in between, their attention to detail was keen, and I could tell they truly cared for us, and the success of our wedding was critical to them. They went above and beyond in every form – there are so many examples, but I will choose two.
First, my husband suffered a severe injury, which postponed our wedding for a year, one month from the original date. It was a horrific time with so much time spent at the hospital. Shiva and Sam made us food and delivered it to our home. I almost cried writing this because none of our other vendors even came close to this level of caring (and not even some friends). It meant the world and showed us we made the right choice.
Second, I was having a hard time with my makeup. I don’t wear that much, so I chose someone who could do a “good” job. I asked Shiva and Sam for some guidance to ensure my makeup would look good in photos, and they offered for me to come over after my trial for their honest opinion and a photo. I am glad I did because the makeup was not up to par with “bridal makeup” and would have looked “cracked” in pictures. We determined I needed someone who could contour, and it helped me choose the right makeup artist.
As for the wedding day itself, Sam and Shiva are a true power couple! They flowed smoothly with each other and were committed to ensuring every shot was captured. When my husband and I viewed the photos with them, we were amazed at how many photos they got of peoples’ expressions, which was such a wonderful surprise, and how they captured so much emotion in single shots. (I cried multiple times, lol.)
By the way, I learned that most wedding photographers ship a USB to their clients or leave it at the venue for them to pick up. Having a personal meeting with them after the wedding was such a personal touch. They made us feel special even though we knew they had many other events happening.
I know this is a long review, but sharing our personal experience is important so other couples can consider this when looking at photographers. Photos are forever, and it was indeed a “dream” (pun intended, lol) to work with them. We would hire them again for any significant life events. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
When we started looking for our wedding photographer we knew we wanted someone who was professional, flexible, creative, and most importantly someone who’s work was of high quality. After all, the only memories you have once the wedding is over are your photos and video. We met with several photographers but nobody could beat Dream Photo & Video’s obvious quality. Prior to our wedding we met several times to review details and they provided a very helpful timeline. They kept close communication with us as our wedding day approached. Another thing that really stood out was how quickly they returned our photos and video. When they returned the finished product to us it was truly breathtaking! There’s not enough words to express the amazing, top-notch, and high quality work Shiva and Sam delivered to us. They met and surpassed all of our expectations. They captured every detail! Our family and friends could not stop praising Shiva and Sam capturing every moment. This was well worth the investment. Thank you DreamPhotoVideo for beautiful unforgettable memories!
We had a great experience with Dream Photo and Video. Our pictures came out more beautiful than I expected. Shiva and Sahab know their job. They are absolutely the most creative and professional photographers I have ever seen. Thank you Dream Photo and Video for making our day the most beautiful and memorable day of our life.
I came across Dream Photo & Video through an old friend from high school, Nicole, she posted her wedding photos, her pictures were amazing and beautiful. Of course I needed the Dream Team for my wedding too! Once I meet with Shiva and looked at more of their work I fell in love with the all the details and the way how all of their pictures just came alive and told a story. Garret and I knew that same day we wanted Shiva to be our photographer for our wedding! Shiva was a huge help to us when it came to making some big decisions, like helping us find an amazing florist. Shiva was always available to hear us out, and helped us fix any issue we had while planning our wedding. Right before our big day Shiva and Sam had a great schedule planned out which helped us plan our itinerary for the day and made everything go so smoothly. My hubby and I had also just found out we were expecting a little one right before our big day. Shiva and Sam made it so easy on our wedding day for me because it was exhausting taking pictures all day, and being tired and sometimes nauseous I didn’t even miss a beat. They made sure and captured all of our wedding. When we saw the photos and video for the first time we both cried at how amazing they made us look, since we are both awkward at taking pictures. We are so pleased and blessed to have Dream Photo & Video capture our wedding. We couldn’t be any more happier and lucky to have them make our wedding so beautiful and magical. We most definitely will recommend them to everyone we know!
Dream Photo and Video was by far our best wedding investment. They were highly recommended by our wedding planner and I literally cried after seeing/watching their photo/video portfolio. The photojournalistic and editorial style of their photos is exactly the reason we chose them to document our wedding and the results were spectacular. The composition of every image is thought out. Lighting is used as a feature. Post processing is delicate yet adds significant impact. Looking through our final products now, my husband and I definitely believe that our investment was worth it. They have exceeded our expectations in every possible way and our experience with them is second to none. Shiva and Sam (owners/photographers) were so easy to work with. I had so many questions and they were just so patient, kind, knowledgeable and very generous with their time and energy. Looking through all of our wedding photos, we are blown away by how natural and beautiful they all are. So full of emotion and looking through them is like watching our wedding video back in silence! We cannot express how thrilled we are with all of our wedding and reception photos. Their level of passion and professionalism towards their clients and job is just incredible. Amir (photographer for our wedding) was just so amazing and such a blessing. I cannot thank him enough for everything! He even helped me put on my veil. He was so calm and compassionate even though I was stressing out because my makeup and hair appointment ran longer than expected and that made our schedule really tight. He told me not to worry and assured me that everything will be ok. He used every lighting opportunity he could find to capture a range of photos, and was constantly on the look out to use the scenery and grounds of the venue to the fullest. His passion and enthusiasm to capture every moment shone all throughout, and he absolutely blew us away with his talent. He even went above and beyond and stayed over after everyone left just so my husband and I can take more pictures. We couldn’t have wished for anything more and we would recommend Amir, Shiva and Sam 1,000 times over! Best day ever! Our advice for future couples when looking for their wedding photographer/videographer is to choose Dream Photo and Video! You will not regret it!!
Shirva and Sam are the best vendors to work with. I am grateful to God for making our paths to cross. I found Dream photographers online when i was searching for the best photographers to cover my son's wedding. I read their reviews which was really good compared to others that i saw. I called Shirva and made an appointment to go visit her with the then bride to be. We instantly fell in love with Shirva as she explained the package to us and tailored it in a way that it will suit our budget. While in her office she went and brought her lunch to share with us and just made us feel at home. We are so thankful that we decided to choose them above all else to cover this special event. They never disappointed us rather they went an extra mile to ensure everything was set well. Am still amazed at how Shirva created a great ambience in a church bridal suite that had little or no furniture. The photos she got from that suite was out of this world. We wondered how she made that transformation. The grand exit of the couple featured fireworks and Dream photography made it look like an out of this world piece. We really got a good value for money. If you are looking for a trustworthy crew, you have found it in Dream photography. They won't disappoint you.
Shiva and Sam were extraordinarily professional and absolutely were experienced in guiding the flow of the wedding and of the wedding prep. Shiva made sure that we had our vendors lined up and our schedule set up just right so that the wedding would be perfect. When we were uncertain about many things (as everyone is with their wedding), Shiva guided us to tell us exactly what to do and what we needed in order to keep going.
Sam's eye for artistic shots and framing the photographs was amazing to watch in action, and his ability to take simple backdrops and situations and turn them into insanely photographic pictures made for amazing candid and awesome albums. The great thing too is that they are *consistent*. Their instagram is very active, and they're constantly uploading new pictures and you can tell that their style is still maintained with no deterioration of quality over the years.
I highly recommend these photographers, they will not leave you disappointed in the slightest.
I found Dream Photo & Video on The Knot and from our very first phone call I knew I would be in good hands. I interviewed multiple photographers, but nobody stood out as much as Sam & Shiva because they showed me they truly cared about our wedding. We hired our videographer before finding Dream Photo & Video, but they assured us that they would work together seamlessly on the day of the wedding. They made sure our vision for our engagement, bridal, and wedding photos were everything we wanted. The two of them traveled all the way to my husband's farm in Temple, TX for our engagement photos and we had THE BEST time with them!! I expected our photos to turn out good, but they turned out magazine quality good! We were BLOWN AWAY with the photos they took. Their creativity and commitment to get the very best shot was amazing. It was the middle of June in the sweltering heat and they were excited about every photo through the entire session. This same passion translated to my bridal portraits in downtown Houston. The Church covered their statues in preparation for Lent earlier than I was told which was upsetting as they were to be in all of my portraits. Shiva and Sam assured me that my pictures would still come out beautiful and they were right! They took all the stress off of me and made sure I had a good time the rest of the session. We went to a local bar and then to a park with the downtown skyline behind me for the rest of my portraits. The shots were dramatic and nothing I ever could have imagined!! We went over on time, but they were so excited about the pictures that we continued with my portraits. They are DEDICATED to get the very best photos for you. We hired them for eleven hours on our wedding day. They were enthusiastic and professional throughout the entire day. I am sure they were exhausted, but you never would have known! They made sure we captured all of the photos on my photo list (which was very extensive) and came up with so many creative shots on their own. They worked within the Church's guidelines, but still captured all of the important moments during the ceremony. From the getting ready photos to our portraits at the end of the night they gave it their all and it SHOWS in our photos. They truly captured what it was like on our wedding day. Every tear, every laugh, every silly moment on the dance floor, and more is forever captured in our photos. They were a great husband and wife team and worked great with our videographers all day. We couldn't be happier. My biggest advice for Bride's is to splurge on photo and video as this is the only thing you get to keep after the wedding day. Every penny is well worth it when you hire Sam & Shiva. They make you feel at ease throughout the entire process and are a true joy to work with. They will forever be our photographers for all of our future events. I cannot thank them enough for everything they did to make our wedding happen. THANK YOU!!
What a pleasure to work with Sam and Shiva for both my daughters weddings that were six months apart! Their professional talent and creativity captured both my daughters individual personalities. Upon our first visit to their Studio all my worries and questions were answered and they took it from there. My daughter's Wedding Videos and Photo Albums are what dreams are made of. Sam and Shiva went above and beyond to make my daugher's dreams come true. Thank you both from the bottom of our hearts. Much love to you both. Mary J. (a very happy mother of the brides!)
We found Sam and Shiva’s portfolio on the Knot app and fell in love with the photos as soon as we saw them, especially the photos of the bride with purple hair, since my hair is always some bright color or another. We did a destination wedding in Houston (we live in DC) and knew that we wanted to spend as much of our wedding budget on photography as possible. This was a second wedding for me and the lesson learned from planning was that photography can make or break the memories of that day. Shiva and I spoke at great length and she really took the time to get to know us as a family. We incorporated an adoption ceremony for our seven year old son into our service and celebration as well and she really understood how important it was to make sure this wasn’t JUST a wedding, but a celebration of our newly formed family. On the wedding day, the photography team was equal parts attentive and unobtrusive. Sometimes it felt like they were doting on all of us and sometimes we didn’t even know they were there. In looking back over the photos, we were surprised by many of them. The day was such a blur, but they captured it, our guests, the scenery, and all of our family’s expressions so beautifully. And the documentary style video was the perfect encapsulation of the wedding for our guests who couldn’t be there. This ended up being especially important for us, as my mom got sick suddenly and couldn’t travel to Texas for the wedding, so when she watched it later with us it was the perfect way for her to feel like she was there. Look... we are not wealthy people, we went cheap on everything else. Modest venue, the least expensive menu, discount dress and suits, accessories from a discount store, basic flowers (just bouquets and corsages)... but we knew that the photographs would be the one thing that would last throughout the ages and we would treasure them forever. And we will. We are nerdy scientific people and I am very interested in how the brain works and how memories are created and stored and altered over time. The brain is remarkable. And photographs, good or bad, can shape memories over time in ways you can’t really fathom. Was it worth nearly half out wedding budget? Hells yes, it was! Would we hire them again or recommend them? Absolutely! In fact, we may do a ten year vow renewal just so we can get more amazing photos. When it comes to photography, more is more... and everything else gets forgotten as long as it’s photographed well. Sam and Shiva do it right and I wouldn’t recommend anyone else.
Shiva and Sam are just absolutely amazing!! From the moment I scrolled through their Instagram, I was immediately drawn by how amazingly they captured so much emotion in their pictures. I cried looking at some of their pictures and knew I had to book them. Then when I met Shiva, it was a done deal! She was the best vendor I worked with..period. She was so responsive to texts, worked with me so well on timelines and captured everything I asked for..and MORE! they made the wedding day so fun and relaxed, and Shiva even fed me her own snacks when I was feeling faint! They're awesome people and do awesome work! I have been smiling and crying looking through all the precious moments they captured. Having these memories are priceless and you won't regret hiring them to capture your special day!
Dream Photo was by far our best wedding investment. My husband and I researched many photographers and none exceeded they impression of Shiva and Sam’s professionalism, style, and personal touch. While still deciding on whether to work with them, they invited us on a styled shoot to give us a taste of how they work. After seeing them in action, the choice to work with Dream Photo came so naturally. This duo ensures all the details are perfect and captures unique shots at gorgeous angles.
Preparing for our wedding day was a wonderful journey. They worked with us in detail to prepare our vision of how we wanted our wedding captured. Shiva even gave me several tips along the way in other areas for our wedding. They did my bridal shoot and though I was running beyond late, they stayed past the shoot time to make sure they were able to get some great photos for me. On our wedding day they were so reassuring! By then, we had built a relationship with them both and were comfortable expressing ourselves with them throughout the day.
When we finally met with them to review our photos after the wedding, we were beyond impressed. By this point, we had full faith and confidence in them, however, they still exceeded our expectations. We have received so many compliments on our wedding photos and one of my bridal photos was featured on a popular bridal social media post!!
I understand the task of selecting a wedding photographer can be daunting, but please make your investment with Dream Photo. You will not regret it. We had many wedding vendors promise us a spectacular service only to fall short of what they stated. However, working with Sam and Shiva was the best choice we made. They were consistent, personable, and delivered photos that flawlessly captured the happiest day of our lives. Thanks for everything Sam and Shiva!
Let me just start off with how amazing Shiva and Sam are to work with. Their personalities alone will absolutely win you over. The moment you see their talent in pictures or in our case videos you won’t want to look any farther. Their work is just flawless. They capture those moments that are the most heart felt. You get what you pay for and they will not let you down when you invest in them I promise you that. These are YOUR wedding professional photographers and videographers. You only get this day once and you want to make sure your hiring the perfect team to capture it. They come more than prepared with a very detailed time line...you’ll hardly even notice them on the big day they’re on the move making sure they capture every angle. We decided on the video last minute and we didn’t budget for it but they worked with us and let me tell you had we not invested it would have been the biggest regret. I was able to relive the greatest night of my life today and I will forever have that video when I need a flashback to remember! Shiva and Sam y’all are amazing and you have a talent like no other! Thank y’all for being the greatest vendor to work with. You truly went above and beyond!
A few years ago, I heard about Dream Photo and Video on FB via a friend's post. After looking through their work, I was absolutely blown away. When I met Sam and Shiva in person I knew that they would take great care of us on our big day, so we didn't feel the need to meet with any other photographers, and immediately booked them. Shiva made our wedding day, and the whole planning process, easier for us by being incredibly dedicated, organized, and timely. I honestly feel that she did more on the day of our wedding to ensure everything went picture perfect than the wedding planner did. They made our wedding experience as special as possible by doing anything and everything to get the perfect shots without being intrusive. Your wedding day goes by so incredibly fast, but thanks to the care of Dream Photo and Video, and their expertise and attention to detail, my husband and I are able to relive our wedding day over and over again. When I look back at our wedding photos and video, I feel so blessed to have had Dream Photo there to capture that wonderful day. Truly the only problem is that every single picture is so amazing that 2 years later I still can't narrow them down to pick out which ones will make it into our official wedding album. It was more than worth the investment. You can never re-do your wedding day, so capturing it perfectly is not something worth gambling on. I am so happy that I went with the most professional team in the Houston area. Our wedding photos were even featured for 6 months on 3 full pages in Houston's Weddings Magazine. I means seriously, how cool is that?! I have recommended them to many, many couples, and each one has been as satisfied as we were. I will continue to use them to capture all of our family's special moments forever!
Sam and Shiva were amazing and we couldn’t have asked for any better photos. We were referred to them by our reception place, the Houston Club. We met with Shiva once and didn’t have to meet with anyone else because we were sold. We didn’t have a wedding coordinator and they helped us with the timing of everything and made us an exact schedule. They are also just awesome people to be around and we were supper happy to have them at our wedding. On top of all this, the photos are absolutely amazing. Thank you guys.
My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Dream Photo and Video. Shiva and Sam were a pleasure to work with. They genuinely cared about capturing every aspect of our engagement and wedding. Everything from the bride and groom getting ready for the wedding until the last person left. They are considerate, courteous, and professional. The pictures were amazing. We would highly and without any reservation recommend Dream Photo and Video!
To say that we booked DREAM before we even booked the venue, says it ALL!
We met with Shiva and Sam and instantly knew they would be the ones who we would entrust with our magical day and it was worth. every. penny!
They deeply care for their clients. Shiva kept in contact with us throughout the entire "wedding planning' journey to see what we needed help in etc. Two weeks prior to the BIG day, we met up! Shiva and Sam made an itinerary to give us a visual of what the day would look like; every single photo session was in detail! This made us at ease to know what the day was going to consist of.
Day of the wedding: They arrived with great energy and ready to go! They were filled with excitement and as a Bride, it got me fired up! They captured ALL the most amazing moments from details of the chapel to the reception, the wedding party and the great dancing celebration! Not to mention, magical shots of the bride and groom in the greatest moments!
The love for photography and videography shines through their work. Their passion for the craft could be seen in each photo that was taken and our video was beyond amazing! Their work is the best we have ever seen, and to top it off they are truly amazing people!
Thank you for capturing the biggest day of our lives! We are forever thankful for you, DREAM!
We can not say enough how phenomenal Shiva and Sam were on our wedding day. They were actually early for my wedding day instead of on time and made sure that every picture was taken from every angle (Although we only had one photographer in our contract). Shiva helped us stay within our budget so with the set budget we had they could only offer one photographer. Getting to know Shiva along the way of planning I found out she used to do wedding coordinating as well. We decided to invest on her as our day of coordinator and it was definitely a great investment as everything on our wedding day was very organized and stress free for both me and my husband. I have heard horror stories of people that hated their wedding pictures; therefore, we made sure to definitely invest on our photographer as photos and video are the only thing that will be with us forever. My video was beyond words that words could even describe and it was so great to relive the day. If I had to choose again a company to use for my day I would choose them. They treated me like family and made sure that my day was about me. Thank you so much again Shiva and Sam for taking on our big day and taking such good care of us and being so professional.
Sam and Shiva did our wedding photography and we are so glad we made the investment!!! It was so much fun going through our photos multiple times after and they are great to work with! Shiva is very responsive on phone/text/email and has an unwavering positive, cheerful attitude that would help any bride relax!!
Cannot say enough good things about these two. Shiva and Sam were very friendly. We took our engagement photos on a field of bluebonnets and I was AMAZED at the results. Each picture was breath taking. Come the wedding time they were very nice in guiding us on where to take the best pictures were. We didn't understand at the time but when it came time to see the result we were taken aback by the beauty they had captured in our wedding. Many details that we had overlooked had been captured in their photos. The price was a little high but well worth the investment. We ever have another large event will definitely use them again. Would recommend them.
My experience with Shiva and Sam was absolutely perfect!
Not only did they give me excellent service and friendliness! They let me use there own personal chair that they use for clients for my sweet heart table for my wedding bus cause she didn’t want me to worry about it! Love them so much if you want someone who treats you like family I 100% recommend Dream photo and vidoe.
If you're looking for quality and attention to detail look no further. Dream photo and Video are the BEST. The most important thing during the best day of your life is capturing all the moments and they do just that. The best thing is that we get to relive our wedding date whenever we want.
We initially looked into Dream Photo and Video when our venue lit up with excitement at the mere mention of their name, but also found ourselves just as excited upon our first meeting. Shiva and Sam are very knowledgeable, passionate about what they do, and sweet!
This team knows what they're doing, and made it so easy to put our trust in them on our wedding day. The photos turned out more beautiful than I could've imagined! A wonderful investment for our wedding that I'm so happy I made.
Absolutely a wonderful experience from the beginning till the end. From the first meeting on we knew that we had selected the right company to do our wedding. Sam and Shiva along with their supporting staff were A++. They both are very supportive and answered all of our questions from the start. They will walk you through all the steps and go beyond the call of duty in order to make your day a memorable one. They are the best hand down.
If you’re looking for photographers and videographer that can do it all... and include your fur family in your special day, the search stops here with Dream! I can’t say enough about this lovely husband and wife duo! About a year ago, we were referred to Dream photography and videography but another recent happy bride. (Personal referrals are always the most reliable!) Without a doubt, Sam and Shiva are friendly, knowledgeable, genuine, and talented!! We couldn’t keep our feet on the ground on our engagement shoot, and our wedding photos really are a dream. Thanks so much for these lovely images and video to remind us of our best day ever!
Love,
C & D (and Boomer)
My wedding was July 30, 2016. Sam and Shiva are 2 of the nicest people you may ever come in contact with. They provided me with exceptional service from start to finish. My engagement photos, wedding photos, and photo booth photos are Amazing! The absolute best in the business! My wedding video... OMG!!!! It’s soooooo Beautiful! They are very punctual, courteous and extremely professional. If you are searching for a photographer, look no further. I get so many compliments on my photos and video. The quality of their work is Awesome!
Thank you Sam and Shiva for creating Beautiful memories for Martinez and I.😍😍😍😍
We booked Dream two years before we got married, I talked to Shiva nearly every other week about the wedding or she would just check in to see how we are doing. Shiva truly cares about her clients, I've seen the way she interacts with other couples, she is extremely genuine. My husband and I are not "picture people" but they always made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Our engagement, wedding, and after session photos are all so beautiful. Our video was AMAZING!! I tear up every time I look at it. The attention to detail that they give to every moment is unbelievable, when we saw our wedding photos I swear it seemed like there were cameras everywhere. I highly recommend Shiva and Sam to capture you're big day, they take the time to get to know you and your spouse, they go above and beyond to accomadte your needs and wants.
Sam and Shiva are the best!!! They photographed our destination wedding in Mexico on 10/13/17. We looked at MANY photographers but instantly fell in love with Dream Photos style and incredibly vivid images! I shopped around after finding them, but was always drawn back to them and their amazing work! It was one of the easiest choices to make throughout the whole process! They went above and WAY beyond to capture our day (even did a mini shoot the day before) and were so easy to work with. My entire family fell in love with these guys and were so impressed at their dedication and professionalism. With all the stress and craziness going on the day of, they made it look so easy and effortless. It was one less thing for me to worry about because it was VERY obvious that they knew exactly what they were doing! We have only received a few images back so far, but from the looks of those 4 photos, we know we will be in love with the rest! Sam and Shiva will always have a special place in our hearts and I'm so thankful that we got to share this amazing experience with them! I don't think there are enough words to express our gratitude and happiness! Sam, Shiva, we love you both and will forever consider you a part of the family! Be ready for an invite to the next family vacation!!!
I was very happy with the quality of the photography- they did a great job.
We knew that photography was a important part of the wedding - the only thing that lasts from your day. So the pictures have to be good.
We saw that Dream was an award winning team and we saw why.
Advice: when the photographer wants you to take advantage of the evening light - put your drinks down and follow them!!!! You will be glad you did!!
Sam & Shiva were a joy to work with. As a couple who had never taken professional photos together before, they made us feel completely at ease and every photo came out perfectly. They have an amazing creative talent as well as extremely welcoming personalities. I would highly recommend this company to anyone who wants a worry free wedding or event!
Dream Photo and Video is the absolute best photograph team I have ever had the pleasure of working with. We originally chose Dream because they went out of their way to send us tips on interviewing wedding photographers, meeting up with us late at night (and in person, not a sales person), and showed us ALL their work (I am talking full files from previous weddings and events). I (the Bride) have been in weddings in the past but have to say I am not one for posed pictures. Sam and Shiva were the best! They helped my husband and I try different poses and feel comfortable throughout. With all the wedding day stress, I felt so confident in the pictures they were taking and helping us to set up. We are so in love with the photos we have been able to see so far! It was worth more than our investment. I cannot say enough how much we LOVE Sam, Shiva and Dream Photo! We will be using Dream for all our photography needs in the future…. We already have a family photo shoot booked!!
Shiva and Sam were wonderful to work with. My husband and I don't take many pictures and they were patient with us and made sure we were comfortable in the engagement session, bridal session, and of course on the big day. They captured every moment and you didn't even
notice they were there.
We were fortunate enough to have Shiva and Sam photograph our engagement dinner and our wedding and both experiences were wonderful with these two! We were blown away by the quality of the photos and the attention to detail was amazing! They captured moments we had forgotten about and things we didn't even realize had taken place surrounding our guests. They really have an eye for everything, looking back at the photos it is like they were literally a million places at once making sure they got the best shot and the most memorable ones. When we shared the photos with our families they could not believe everything was captured so beautifully. They both went above and beyond, Shiva even helped me do my daughters hair when I was struggling to get it done on time and still managed to get amazing photos of the process! Jesse and I cannot thank them both enough for the amazing photos we have of our special day that will last a lifetime!!
Sam & Shiva were great people to work with. They did our engagement photos as well as our wedding day photos & video. We can't say enough great things about them. They were a preferred vendor from our venue (Agave Estates, Katy TX.) we looked all over for a reasonably prices yet professional photographer. Once we started talking with Shiva we knew they would be our photographers! The quality of work they do is incredible! They don't stop, our guests commented how they were amazed they just kept moving and snapping tons of great pictures. We have received so many compliments on how great our photos turned out. Not only did the photos look great but the poses they suggested were so natural and photographed so well! I had a list of photos I liked and wanted and they managed to get them all!! I will be using Dream Photo & Video for all our family photos going forward! Thank you again Sam & Shiva!
We were referred to Dream Photo & Video by Silver Sycamore. We met with Shiva and were sold on first impression. The professional and friendly personality and amazing quality of work performed for past clients made choosing Dream Photo & Video one of the easiest decisions of our wedding planning. On our big day, Shiva and Sam exceeded our expectations. We trusted them to capture one of the best days of our lives and they did not disappoint. Our photos are everything we dreamed they would be and more. Every moment was captured beautifully, allowing us to relive our special day as we view each picture. We cannot wait to work with Dream Photo & Video again to capture more of our life memories!
No words can express how great and professional Dream Photo & Video was during our engagement picture session. From beginning to end they surpass our expectations! If you are looking for a honest and quality based photography company, look no further than Dream Photo & Video!
I hired Dream photo and video after seeing a friends wedding video that they had done. I met with Shiva at their studio and was instantly sold!! Shiva is so sweet and so thorough. Their videos speak for themselves because they are all incredible! We haven't gotten ours back yet, but I have no doubt that it will be perfect 👌🏻 I had 2 videographers on our big day and they were all over the place (in a good way) I'm sure they captured so many great memories of our big day and I can not wait to see them on video!! 😬😬😬
Dream Photo & Video did an amazing job with my photos and video for our wedding. We only had one photographer and one videographer and they captured the WHOLE wedding beautifully! Everyone complimented the video, and we are in love with the pictures. Sam is such a talented photographer and we are all in love with the high quality photos! Shiva is amazing to work with as well. If I had to do our wedding all over again, I would choose Dream Photo and Video again!
We sought a photographer to entrust with the most extraordinary day of our lives and we got the most incredible experience imaginable. There might be a number of talented photographers but what makes Sam and Shiva unique is their spot on connection with creating exactly what you want. They are nothing short of fantastic and we were so lucky to find them. Their style is impeccable. It was fun and elegant while complementing our home wedding flair. Everything from the moment we met felt comfortable. We shared a few concepts that were important to us and they did the rest with all their expertise. We have an impressive recollection of our amazing wedding with gorgeous poses, intricate wedding details and fun family and guest snap shots that characterize our amazing wedding. Sam and Shiva are perfect photographers and remarkable individuals who have given us a lifetime of marvelous memories. Our experience was the absolute best and our wedding was just the beginning because now we found our forever professional photographers!

My wife and I cannot thank Dream Photo and Video for their kindness, enthusiasm, and attention to details on our wedding photos. Their professionalism,level of skill and expertise, and efficiency, was simply outstanding. The photos definitely exceeded our expectations. We are completely blown away. You totally captured every moment. and each photo is like an artwork. All of our families and friends were very impressed at how dedicated you all were. Your friendly, professional service in the lead up to and on the day was second to none. To put it simply we were speechless when we first saw our photos. We are incredibly happy with every single shot and can’t believe that you were able to move around so much and yet not even be seen.
We have no hesitation in recommending your services to anyone who is looking for an amazing service and beautifully captured images.
Good luck with all of your future endeavors
My husband and I wanted to thank Dream Photo and Video so so much for their amazing ability to capture the essence of our wedding day in such an enchanting way. The photos are spectacular and we absolutely love them. You guys were able to include a variety of everything that made up our day. With the wedding now over, a photo is the only way to preserve the special moments. Your photos will absolutely succeed in doing that for us. We would undoubtedly recommend your services to anyone who is looking for a talented, professional photographer who is an absolute joy to work with and has the ability to put you at ease. You'd be impressed by their professionalism and vast knowledge of photography.
Thank you again for everything.
I can go on and on and on about the "Dream Team". I am so very happy with these amazing people and their amazing work! I got our wedding photos and video back and all I can say is WOW. You can not find better quality I swear! I cried over and over again....alongside Shiva and Sam when they showed me the video. It brought me back to that day very quickly and I have pictures of a LIFETIME. Thank you so much Shiva and Sam!
All I can say is WOW, AWESOME, OMG!!!!! Dream Photo and Video did such amazing work for my daughter’s wedding. The Video helped us to relive and yes cry happy tears again on how beautiful it all turned out!! The pictures are so beautiful and they captured every moment perfectly and made it possible for us to enjoy their wonderful day all over again. THANK YOU Shiva and Sam and your amazing team for making all of Jill’s DREAMS come true!!!!
I was really contemplating on whether or not I needed a videographer for my wedding, and when I came across Dream Photo and Video's website I knew I needed them to be at my wedding to capture the memories. Our first meeting, Shiva took her time showing me different options and went over everything, no hidden fees. Shiva is so sweet and was patient and enthusiastic through out the whole process. After receiving my video I was without a doubt completely satisfied! And I'm not afraid to speak the truth on any review! My only concern was the price, but she did work with me and I'm glad I choose them. I will definitely be recommending Dream to friends and family!
All I can say is WOW! After, receiving my photos and highlight video back from my wedding day I can easily say that my now husband and I made the best choice by choosing Dream Photo & Video. They captured every important and memorable moment that We will now cherish forever. I will definitely recommend them to others for any photography needs. You will not be disappointed! Thank You Shiva & Sam and the "Dreamteam" lol....
Dream Photo & Video deserves the "wow" factor! My husband and I originally did not have it in our wedding budget to hire a videographer. We had talked to several married couples, some that chose to have a video, some that chose not to have a video and the ones that did not have one all said they wished they did. We decided we needed to find a way to make it happen! We found Shiva and Sam on The Knot and after viewing a few samples of their work, I knew I had to meet with them. They were gracious enough to meet with us on New Year's Eve, and minutes after meeting with them, John and I knew they were the ones we wanted! We chose to do the cinematography and that was the best choice we could have chosen. Every time I had a question or concern, Shiva responded so quickly providing me with the answers we needed. We received our video and I would not change one single thing about it. They captured every special moment and the special edits are incredible. John and I could not be more pleased. We have received countless messages saying how wonderful our video was from family and friends. Thank you Shiva and Sam for going above and beyond and exceeding every expectation we could ever have for our video. The best decision we made was choosing Shiva and Sam to capture our day!
These lovely people go ABOVE AND BEYOND to make your day everything you want it to be! I seriously could not imagine going with anyone else when it comes to photos and videos. Sam and Shiva and their team do WHATEVER you want them to do and do it with amazing talent. I love them dearly and am so glad I chose them as our photographers!
We had the pleasure of hiring Dream Photo and Video for our engagement session, bridals and day of wedding photography and videography! I cannot say enough about Shiva and Sam. From the first meeting with them we know we would be in excellent hands! It was always very important to me to choose the right people to capture our special day and I was so worried we wouldn’t be able to find a business that would take our photos as seriously as we would. We knew instantly when we met Shiva and Sam that they were the right fit, they were dedicated to making sure our wedding was captured in the way we wanted it to be. They were very open to ideas that we had and gave excellent shot suggestions for both our engagement and bridal sessions. Our engagement session was fun and the pictures came out beautifully. We have received so many compliments on them and it was so difficult to choose which ones to use for our save the dates (we ended up using 4!). My bridal pictures were absolutely magical, I felt so beautiful. I didn’t have any idea about poses before the session but Shiva and Sam positioned me beautifully. I made the mistake of not eating the day of my bridals (I am diabetic) and ended up getting light headed, Shiva and Sam were so very patient and caring with me and helped me feel better. The extended our session a bit to make sure I go in all the photos I wanted. I was so beaming with happiness and excitement when I got the photos and I looked amazing. The hardest part was to not run out and show everyone my bridal photos before the wedding. I was so reassured that day about our decision, that they took the time and knew how important theses photos were. Their clients and not just another couple to them, they know and care about your journey into marriage and know the magnitude of it all. Our wedding day was truly a dream and captured just as that, I cannot rave enough about how every detail was highlighted of our wedding. All of our love and loved ones were captured in such an authentic and graceful way. We have photos of moments that we didn’t even know anyone was looking. We had one photographer and one videographer for our wedding but you would have thought we hired a multiple person team for each! We have close ups and wide shots of almost identical moments. It was so important to me to have a photographer who did excellent work with portraits and action shots. Sam has an amazing talent for being excellent at both. Our have such a vast mix of beautiful, elegant and fun pictures. We also hired Dream Photo and Video for our videography needs, and it was so amazing! It was so heartwarming to see our entire day in our highlight video. They captured our most precious moments and gave a perfect glimpse into our beautiful day. I still cannot stop watching it, they have an amazing gift to make you feel the emotions of that day and relive it all over again. I will cherish it for the rest of my life. It was so important to us to hire a quality group to capture the most special day of our lives. Your wedding day goes by so very fast and being able to document it in not only pictures but video is by far the best investment we made. Sam and Shiva really make you feel like you are their ONLY clients and work so hard to create photos that you will love for a lifetime. Our wedding journey has come to a close but we are so very excited for married life and we already plan on using Dream Photo and Video for our future family milestones!
Thank you Shiva and Sam for capturing one of the most important days of our lives! The photos were beautiful and the video was absolutely perfect! Dream Photo & Video was a dream to work with. They are very passionate about what they do and you can see that in every picture they captured. They provided the best service in both photography and video. We are so glad that we chose Dream Photo & Video!!! I highly recommend them, as they are the best wedding photographers and videographers in Houston!!
Mr. and Mrs. Iwais😊
My husband and I are so happy to say we were referred to Shiva and Sam by a close friend! It didn't take long for us to get an appointment with them to discuss what we were looking for in photography and videography. I knew the day I first met them that they were going to do to the job well done. I immediately trusted in them that they would capture the precious moments of our big day. They kept great communication with us leading up to our engagement photos and our wedding day. On our big day Sam and one of the team members were very respectful of our wants and made sure they got everything we requested. I got a sneak peek of some photos they did within a few days after our wedding and I couldn't be happier at the work they provided us. We can't wait for more and will continue to have much love for Dream Photo and Video!!
As an out-of-state bride, working with Dream photo & video was super easy. They were accessible, accommodating, and helpful. They were organized and had a legitimate interest in taking the best photos they could. I remember they even brought some things to help with the photography that I hadn't requested in our contract just to make sure the photos and video turned out great. And they did! They will ask you for your input, what kinds of pictures you want, what songs you want on your video, etc., to make the photos and video as personal as possible. They were also very respectful of my/our space (not "on your face" type of photographers who kind of take away from the moment). All in all, a very respectful, professional, and creative group at a very reasonable price. My family liked them so much that my brother hired them a week later for his own wedding! I would definitely recommend them.
We had Dream Photo and Video (Shiva and Sam) do our wedding photos and we are beyond impressed!
We had our wedding in Boston where none of us live and they found a magical place and did our photos at the perfect time for evening light. They worked quickly, and gave clear instructions of interesting poses and angles which turned out really well. When I saw a few of the finished photos, I actually didn't recognize myself at first, I thought I was looking at Pintrest wedding shots or something. The photos literally looked better than real life!
For the rest of the wedding, all the right moments were captured and many accommodations were made to give perfect lighting, (they moved lights around helped with backgrounds)
We are over the moon with the results from our wedding photos and we felt totally comfortable because they worked so hard to make every detail right.
We are truly grateful to have these memories that we will enjoy and share for the rest of our lives. Thank you Thank you Thank you!
Dream Photos & Video captured one of the most important days of our lives in the most breath taken way. The attention to every detail and professionalism is what we were looking for when it came to our photos and videography. We were looking for a company that would take our vision and add even more value to it. Our pictures were amazing, and our video makes tears come to our eyes every time we watch it. The staff are true perfection in every way! Thank you so much for your dedication to making our day beautiful!
