Haleema Manzur Photography

own head! She creates a photography timeline before the wedding date and that helped us all be on track during the wedding day and especially the getting ready part! Even if we were falling behind on schedule, she would reassure us that everything was okay and that we would get all the photos done that we needed and wanted. Highly highly highly recommend her!

eema informed us one week before our wedding that she would not be attending and would be sending a “replacement photographer.” She later told us she had known for weeks that she wouldn’t be able to photograph our November 1st wedding due to health issues, yet waited until seven days beforehand to notify us. Even more concerning: her “confirmation” with the replacement photographer was done entirely through Instagram DMs. She refused for days to give us the replacement’s direct contact information, insisting all communication go through her. It took repeated requests just to get an email address. Our wedding was two hours from Atlanta, and we had no idea if this replacement was actually coming because she didn’t respond to our message until the day before the wedding — four days after we reached out. Up until that point, nothing was confirmed. When my wedding planner responded to Haleema’s initial email, she told her how upset I was about the situation. Haleema’s reply was unbelievably dismissive. She said she “had no idea I would be upset because she had not communicated with me in a long time” and “assumed I was not personally attached to her.” To say that this level of disregard for a client’s wedding is unprofessional is an understatement. Given the lack of communication, the last-minute notice, and the inability to confirm a real replacement, we hired another photographer. Haleema did not attend, did not photograph, and did not provide any services for our wedding. We requested only our final payment back — not even a full refund. She refused. Instead, she offered to still send the replacement photographer so we could have “two photographers,” despite her own contract containing a strict SOLE PHOTOGRAPHER clause requiring that she be the exclusive photographer at the event. If she insists on that clause, why would she suddenly encourage us to break it? The entire experience felt chaotic, careless, and deeply unprofessional. Communication was sporadic or nonexistent, crucial information was withheld, and her responses showed little understanding of the stress she caused. For a once-in-a-lifetime event, couples deserve reliability, professionalism, and empathy. Unfortunately, none of that was present in our experience.

d; she put up with all of our loud and crazy friends and family and never missed a beat. She worked around our rain delay and we still managed to get in everything we wanted. I could not be more grateful. Highly, highly recommend!!

r portraits a super fun time, and guided us through the day with ease. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone in need of a photographer. This. girl. is. the. one.
