Heba is an amazing photographer! She was very professional and on time for every part of the wedding day. I would definitely recommend her for anyone getting married!
Heba is an absolute gem! We couldn’t have chosen a better photographer to capture our day. She was such a pleasure to work with and made the experience super pleasant and enjoyable. She’s extremely organized and efficient, which is such a relief for a busy bride. Her photos are not only beyond beautiful but they also truly capture the emotions of the day and focus on the special moments. I would 100% recommend Heba. She’s a rock star!
Hire Heba now, before she books up!!! She is amazing and you will be so happy you did.
As we were planning our wedding from out of state, we found Heba through a recommendation from our venue and could not have been more thrilled. From the moment we spoke on the phone, you could tell she was professional, but easy going, down to business, but also very fun – everything you could possibly want in your wedding photographer. She was extremely communicative and easy to reach, and made the planning seamless (even through a COVID reschedule!!) We did an engagement shoot with her before our wedding and made us feel completely at ease. We left the session high-fiving, knowing we made the best decision we could for our wedding. At our wedding, she could not have been more helpful – she took charge and knocked out the posed family photos to get to the fun ones we really cared about and made our family and friends fall in love with her (we already had). She had multiple cameras and it felt like she was there for every single special moment, not just the big grand ones. When we got our photos, we were blown away. They were simply amazing and captured the most magical day we could ever imagine. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!!!
Heba is AMAZING! Heba has done pictures for our family for many years, she has created the most fantastic memories and experiences for us that are priceless. From family photos, to every graduation/senior picture and recently our sons wedding. Not only do you get the most beautiful work, but the overall love and passion she has for her work and for the actual experience shows in the final product. Her creativity is off the charts and her ability to work or should I say corral family and friends was a true blessing at the wedding! PS....she hilarious as well! Many of our guests commented on how wonderful she was in making them feel comfortable, not everyone likes a picture! She was fantastic, can't recommend her enough- easiest decision you will make!
Heba was just phenomenal to work with from start to finish. Early on, she put me and my mom at ease with her quick response time, helpful answers to all of our questions, sensible approach - and she really impressed us with her artistic vision. She made the whole process feel special – from her helpful booklet, to the package of goodies she sent us with champagne and cookies (she made it feel celebratory, despite the pandemic!), to the reassurance provided to me and my equally awkward and dorky partner during engagement photos and wedding photos that we COULD and WOULD have great pictures – just everything. She had a backup plan for everything, and when she had her baby right before our wedding she STILL showed up to surprise us (along with her incredible friend and talented photographer Jess that she had brought in to help) on our wedding day. The photos turned out incredible. We can’t even pick the ones to put in the album she will be making for us. You will not be disappointed - we will likely be asking her to help shoot memories for us in the future!
From the very initial interaction of messaging Heba to inquire about services, she provided a remarkable response time, which helps with the many potential vendors you are trying to coordinate with for a wedding. Starting with the first meeting to decide if it was a good match, her incredible talent was already apparent in her portfolio but her personality was even more unmatched. We immediately fell in love with Heba and wanted her as a guest at our wedding, nevertheless as a vendor. Of course we booked her and shortly thereafter received a nice package (don't want to give away the details for surprise element for future clients). Part of the wedding package involved taking our engagement photographs, which we had so much fun that we forgot the awkwardness of being photographed. Shortly thereafter, the COVID-19 pandemic hit and we had to change our need for her as a photographer but still used her as our photographer for our initial wedding date but in a very small intimate wedding. Even though there were <15 guests, Heba was swift and her positioning marked the incredible balance of photographing incredible moments without seemingly being there. She provided our photographs in a very reasonable time without compromising detail and talent. We have booked her again for our vow renewal and reception because she truly is professional, talented, and a genuinely good person.
Heba was an absolute joy to work with throughout our wedding planning (and postponement) process and we are thrilled with the photos we received! I would 1000% recommend her to any bride in the area. She was super responsive and helpful from the beginning and even came to Nashville to shoot our engagement photos. They came out amazing despite some rain and the cold weather and she made us both feel at ease in front of the camera! As for our wedding day, I can’t even imagine the day without Heba helping keep things running smoothly while capturing all the moments. Our family was so impressed by how she efficiently got through all the various family photos! She was always available to answer questions I had, made some changes week-of to accommodate some of our requests, and delivered truly incredible photos of our long-awaited special day. We are so thankful that we can relive the day through these beautiful photos! Thanks, Heba!!!
My husband and I could not be happier with our experience working with Heba! She is a true professional with incredible talent and knowledge of her profession. Through and through we continued to be so impressed by her flexibility, patience and kindness as well as directness throughout this whole process. Heba worked with us through many date and venue changes over the last few months and provided us with numerous options at each change in the road to best fit our needs moving forward. She was one of our easiest vendors to work with through our Covid changes. Following our wedding, both our families told us how much they enjoyed working with Heba for our pictures and they could see why she was the first vendor we selected when planning our wedding. She was efficient and kept the mood light while taking our family pictures. Throughout the pictures, Heba made us feel comfortable and confident. We consider ourselves lucky to have had Heba there to capture our special day. It is apparent to anyone who is lucky enough to work with her that she loves what she does and that can be seen in the work that she produces. I give Heba my highest recommendation!
Heba is one of the best! Not only do you get some really amazing photos that you will cherish always, but she will become your new best friend. She is so fun, easy to work with, and can make any tense groom smile with ease. She has an impeccable eye and an enormous talent. Not only is she an amazing creative, but she makes the process seamless with easy communication, timeline help, and just generally support! If you are looking for one of the best - book Heba - it will be the easiest and best thing you do!
Heba was truly the best photographer we could ever ask for!! Someone with a big family, it was amazing how she was able to keep everyone in line 😉 when we were taking family photos. The venue I picked was beautiful and Heba knew where the best spots were to take pictures.
Heba and her team were amazing! She made the whole day such a dream! I felt at such ease while taking pictures and she kept us all smiling the whole time with her awesome personality! If I could give 10 stars I would! Thank you Heba for making our wedding day extra special!
Heba was absolutely fantastic to work with for my wedding. We did an engagement photoshoot with her and just got our wedding pictures, and everything was stunning! Even as so many things with the wedding were changing literally the week before (guest list dropping from over 100 to 20, a last minute venue change, among a lot of other things), Heba stood with us and came through spectacularly. You couldn't ask for a better photographer for your wedding or any other big life event!!
We truly could not have asked for a better photographer for our wedding day. The best thing about Heba is that she is not only a very skilled photographer, but she will go above and beyond for you on your wedding day and the weeks leading up to it. She is very good with communication and even took the time to meet with me and my mom the week before the wedding to go over all of the little details. On wedding day, she was not only our photographer but also our personal assistant and friend. She will stay by your side ALL NIGHT to make sure she gets the shot and will also go to the bar for you when you need a drink. I am so thankful to have had her for our special day!
We would highly recommend Heba! Throughout our entire wedding planning process, she offered endless support and guidance. From her genuine personality to her great energy, Heba is so much fun to work with. Our wedding pictures (and engagement pictures!) could not have turned out better. From all the smiles, tears, and laughter, we couldn’t have asked for more. She captured it all! When we look back through the pictures, it’s like we’re reliving the day all over again. These are truly pictures we will cherish forever. If you’re thinking about booking Heba for any photography needs… do it! You won’t be disappointed. She is truly more than a photographer and will quickly become a wonderful friend. She cares deeply for those she works with and even goes above and beyond to send sweet treats to her clients! We’re so glad we had her throughout our journey and will definitely use her again in the future.
There are so many wonderful things I can say about Heba it’s hard to know where to start. I think her pictures speak for themselves, but despite knowing your photos are going to be gorgeous what most brides don’t realize is how much your photographer becomes apart of your entourage. Heba wasn’t just my photographer she — she kept the positive energy high, she made us laugh, she had all the things I forgot, and so much more. What is special about Heba is Her genuine, kind spirit shines through in everything she does and she starts to feel as apart of the family, not just some lady snapping pictures.
Needless to say, Heba was such a blast to work with and captured every essence of joy felt during the most perfect day. She is not just a seasoned professional, but a true artist with a big heart.
Choosing a photographer was possibly the most stressful decision of wedding planning, because I knew pictures were one of my favorite things, and we'd be looking at them for years to come. Then I met Heba and all my stress went away. Her portfolio had exactly the artistry I was looking for but far and away, her biggest strength is her personality and ability to create beautiful photos on the fly. No one wants rain on their outdoor wedding day, but when you look at my photos, you'd never know the weather was so bad. She took advantage of every stream of light to create the most gorgeous photos and captured the day perfectly. Plus, I am one of those people that just isn't comfortable having my picture taken and she had us all cracked up and having so much fun, I forgot to be nervous. She's the perfect combination of fun and talent - my wedding would NOT have been as much fun without her there!
Heba was absolutely amazing from the first email we sent expressing our interest in her services. She helped us choose the best package for us, and was so kind and helpful throughout. The engagement shoot was so much fun, and Heba was super professional - we were so happy with our pics. Our wedding photos turned out fabulous, you can tell that she really cares about her clients from the beautiful work she produces. She worked wonderfully under pressure when we were running slightly behind! We recommend Heba for anyone's wedding!
From the initial communication, we knew we were in great hands. Heba was super responsive, very organized and experienced in our venue and communication with their planner. I’m sure the same would be said for even new venues to Heba. On the day of the event, she was the first one there, she managed both families like a dream and even fixed what would have been a hiccup when my veil came undone as I walked my first steps down the aisle- she had backup hair pins and gracefully ran up and fixed my veil without anyone in the chapel even knowing! The package was so wonderful we hired her for our newborn shots. She captured all the special moments in creative ways, that will provide lasting memories for many years and generations to come. Highly recommend Heba!
We would recommend Heba wholeheartedly for any photography needs! Her work is gorgeous and she has given us priceless memories. When sharing our photographs from the wedding with our friends and family, everyone agreed she truly captured the emotions and details of the day. It's like reliving the best moments!
On the day of the wedding, Heba brought a great energy. She was flexible and solution-focused when I forgot to have rings, etc. ready for pre-ceremony shoots (I blame #bridebrain, but Heba didn't make me feel worried for even a second!). She managed our large families well for photography in the warm May weather. Heba also did our engagement shoot and she put both me and my husband right at ease. He even commented afterwards - unprompted! - "That was fun."
On a personal note, Heba was very caring and supportive of our family in the year leading up to our wedding.
P.S. There may also be adorable cookies involved. Heba's surprise packages are always a treat! She really goes above and beyond for her clients.
We loved working with Heba Salama! She is a fantastic photographer and made us feel so comfortable that we view her more as a friend than vendor. Our wedding photos are beautiful - she truly captured the joy, happiness, and the laughter of us with our family & friends. Additionally, she was a great resource during the planning process. We wouldn't have had such a fabulous time and beautiful memories without her. Highly recommend!!
Heba was great! She is so personable and talented! It seemed like we added a long lost friend to our wedding party and not a stranger with a camera! I would highly recommend her to any bride! She is responsive and professional! The pictures we have seen in the sneak peak are beautiful!
Heba was the first vendor I booked because she was so honest, warm, and clearly had amazing photographic abilities. She did not disappoint on my wedding day, and made sure to make me and my bridesmaids feel at ease! Love that her packages automatically include all the digital copies as well.
Photos were one of the most important things to us in planning our wedding, and Heba did not disappoint! She helped us relax during our engagement shoot, was extremely reliable and responsive, and managed our bridal party well! On top of that, the images she captured from our wedding day are both breath-taking and authentic. I would recommend Heba to any friend!
Heba did the photos for a good friend's wedding and they were so good I wanted to have her be my wedding photographer. She did a wonderful job and is so much fun!
Simply put, Heba is delightful and wonderful and she produces beautiful photography! In our professional life, both my husband & I work frequently with photographers, which gives us particularly discerning taste in this area. We can confidently say Heba’s work ranks with the best and we are thrilled with her photography of our wedding. We are blessed with the problem of having so many favorite wedding photos that we have to go but more picture frames!
Heba is so talented and fun! She helped everyone relax and enjoy our wedding day— the photos are absolutely beautiful and truly captured the special moments. I have recommended Heba to my friends and will continue to do so!
I first met Heba at a Bridal Showcase, with crowds of engaged couples all around us, Heba made me feel as if I was the only one there. We had an instant connection that only strengthened as we talked and planned for my wedding day. Nothing could have prepared her for my wedding day...We were married on the coldest day of the year just after a major snowstorm hit North Carolina. Our ceremony was moved inside last minute and the venue was covered in snow and ice. What could have been a catastrophe turned into the most beautiful and magical day ever, in good part due to Heba! She took charge as only a true professional can and took stunning photos that we will cherish forever. Heba loves to share her creative genius and does it effortlessly and without fanfare. She blends in with your guests and captures every moment. Heba was one of the best and easiest decisions I made, it felt as if one of my best friends was my wedding photographer. Thank you Heba!
Heba's portfolio of work is outstanding. She has delivered exceptional quality on several projects for me both personally and professionally. As a bride, she captured the essence of my wedding day and thus those photographs were able to be used in several print and web media outlets. She went out of her way to make sure that we had every image that we requested. She was a true professional and her endearing personality made us feel comfortable. Heba has also provided event and food/beverage photography for The Carolina Inn. Her eye for detail and her dedication to the process and product are unparalleled. I know that if you choose Heba as your photographer that you will have someone that is truly engaged and committed to deliver your perfect event photography. Furthermore, I also know that you have made a friend for life. She will care about you and listen to what you need. She comes with my highest recommendation.
Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and Heba played a huge roll in that! She was punctual, organized, thorough, professional and fun! Pictures are worth a 1000 words and ours turned out AMAZING!! We’re expecting our first child in February and can’t wait to have Heba shoot photos of our very special addition! XoXo
Heba is all-around AMAZING! She has a keen vision for detail and emotion-driven shots, which allows every bride to truly cherish their special day. Heba made sure everything I envisioned was perfected, from the table arrangements to family photos, driving from our venue to the hair salon and more. Heba and her assistant made sure the entire wedding party was photo-ready and even carried around my lipstick to make sure I was flawless the entire night! Since our wedding day, Heba designed a GORGEOUS photo album and even had my bridals published in a magazine. Overall, I am so thankful for Heba and her team- our day would not have been the same without them!
Heba was fantastic. She was easy to work with and took beautiful photos for us. I’m not usually comfortable in front of cameras, but Heba made it easy and kept us comfortable the whole time.
Prior to the day, Heba was great. We live in Louisiana, so we were coordinating everything from afar. From our first phone consultation, I was confident that we were in good hands. She was wonderful to work with and we have great images of our wedding, and I am so happy that she was our photographer.
My daughter was married/plus reception at the Carolina Inn in Chapel Hill in May 2018 and Heba Salama was our photographer. We met her at the Carolina Inn Bridal Expo and we knew right away she was the perfect fit for the wedding. Heba's personality allowed us to relax and enjoy the day with perfect confidence that she would capture all the magical moments , which we will cherish forever. I love all her photos of my daughter, her new husband, our family and friends...I highly recommend her for this important event, she loves her work, and it shows in her photographs.
Heba is absolutely amazing! Her photos speak for themselves - they are beautiful. The best part of working with Heba is her personality and her experience. She is the whole package. She is a calming presence, a friend, an unseen stealthy photographer, a take charge planner, and really anything that you need her to be. She knows what you need before you do. I would work with her a million times! Our photos are amazing- our experience with her was wonderful- highly recommend her to everyone!
