Was thrilled with everything Rez and Jayson did on the day. Pictures looked amazing- just what we wanted. He took time to get to know what we were looking for on the day. They ...
worked hard from start to finish and both were very easy to work with. I highly recommend them.
Rez and his team were amazing! They were exactly what we wanted. He was easy to get hold of, replied to our texts quickly, and had answers to all our questions. We didn't meet h...
im until the day before the wedding because we live in Denver but all out families are in St Louis where the wedding was. He immediately made us feel comfortable. On the day, they arrived early, left late, and seemed to never stop taking pictures. They clearly love what they do. Our family commented on how impressive our photographers were. The pictures, when they arrived were lovely. They captured the whole day and so many beautiful pictures. Our wedding album was part of the package and it is amazing. There was one problem with the album and Rez corrected it by sending us a new one even though it wasn't his fault. He took care of everything to make sure we were totally happy. I am so happy we booked Rez for our wedding.
Rez photographed our wedding in June 2018. He was amazing to work with. He was so energetic through our day (about 10 hours), he arrived early, stayed late, and was just fantast...
ic. He kept everything moving so smoothly. All my guests commented on how impressed they were with him. Your photographer does more than just take pictures- they literally run the day! You want someone who is experienced and confident in working with large groups. He was everything and more. He took charge in a fun and relaxed way. And of course the pictures were incredible. He got the whole day in a beautiful way. I am so so happy we booked Rez for our wedding.
Booked Rez based on a recommendation and his reviews here and different sites. I am thrilled with everything he did for us. The pictures are exactly what I wanted. He took time ...
to listen to what I wanted from him and asked questions. On the day he never stopped working. Pictures arrived on a flash drive and they are perfect. I highly recommend him for your wedding- I would book him again without hesitation.
Amazing experience with Rez. Everything about getting in touch, the consultation, the weeks leading up to the wedding, the actual wedding day, and of course the photographs was p...
erfect. There is a reason why he has so many amazing reviews- he went above and beyond from start to finish. There were other photographers that I considered but in the end I knew he was going to be the best becuase of his whole approach to making me feel comfortable. His experience and knowledge was the biggest reason- I had total confidence in him which is something I did not get from the others. I am so thankful we booked Rez.
Wonderful experience working with Rez. I happier with everything he did on the weeks leading up to the wedding, and especially on the day of. He arrived early and left late, was en...
ergetic and seem d to be very where! He guided out very rowdy wedding party with patience, humor, and attitude which everyone loved. I can’t say enough about how thrilled I am with the pictures and the whole process
Having Rez photograph our wedding was the best decision I made. From first contact through the wedding itself he was responsive, friendly, and totally on top of it. He and his seco...
nd photographer Jayson captured the essence of our wedding – we are THRILLED with the photos. My friends and family can't say enough about how gorgeous the photos are. He is so good technically and knows what he's doing with cameras and lenses and camera settings. He was always adjusting to make sure the photo looked gorgeous and that the light was right. He knew how to photograph me at the most flattering angle and I really appreciated how he gave me some subtle suggestions on where to look or place my hand. It didn't make me look phony; it just made it so that he captured my face at the most flattering angle or my waist looked slim even though I was wearing a dress that billowed out in the skirt.
No one could believe how professional he was during the wedding. He had two cameras slung over his shoulders and captured every moment without being obtrusive. We had a small wedding and we didn't even know that Rez and Jayson were there. But they managed to get amazing intimate photos. I loved the portraits and the photo-journalism style photos of the guests enjoying happy hour or toasting during the toasts.
He also got the photos to us SO quickly! I've heard that it can take a really really long time to get wedding photos from some photographers but Rez is an efficient worker and he doesn't take longer than he needs to. Great prices - you're getting the best for a reasonable price.
I can't recommend Rez and his team enough! You will not regret hiring him!
I absolutely loved working with Reza and Jayson for our wedding day. They were so much fun, and were so helpful in coming up with fun poses. They were willing to do anything you wa...
nted, and more. My husband and I, and our bridal party had a blast with them. I definitely recommend.

zed and on point. Rez worked tirelessly leading up to the wedding and was available to answer all our questions. We loved our photographs and could not be happier with our selection. You can't go wrong with them.
We are very happy to have booked Rez. We interviewed 3 other photographers and Rez was the most professional of them all. We liked his approach to weddings and his price was in l...
ine with others. On the day he arrived early and stayed late working hard the whole time, our guests commented on his energy. The pictures are fantastic. About 1500 delivered on a flash drive. And they captured the whole day in all its glory. We are now working with him to create our album. We are very happy with our choice and plan to use him as our family photographer.
I booked Shari Photography for my wedding and I thought he did an amazing job. The whole process from finding him, meeting, with him, and working with him was so simple. He did a...
great job of making the picture part of the process headache free. He was available for any question to do with weddings and was just so pleasant to work with. He seemed to be Genuinely concerned about us and went above and beyond on the day. He arrived early and stayed late and worked tirelessly. The pictures are fabulous. They are exactly what I'd expected. A beautiful array of pictures from our day. I can't think of any reason why you would not book him for a wedding.
Rez Photographed our wedding in Feb 25th. It was a small wedding service and reception. We were mostly interested in the pictures of us and our family. He did an amazing job. I...
loved all the pictures he took of us at the park. HE made us feel very much at ease and posed us really well. The pictures of the wedding were just what we wanted- very documentary style and genuine. He was really easy to work with and just did an amazing job. I couldn't be happier.
Reza Behnam of Shari Photography is amazing. He is friendly and a joy to work with. His fashion-forward approach to photography is what makes him stand out among other photographer...
s. He excels at capturing shots that may be missed by other photographers. He also does a great job with your more traditional photos as well. His package prices are reasonable considering everything you get with them. He is very accommodating and listens to any ideas you may have. I would not have chosen anyone else as our engagement pictures and wedding day photographer. We will forever be clients and recommend Shari to anyone!

era. My husband has never been one that likes his picture taken, but he loved working with Rez! That really says a lot to me.
I highly recommend Shari Photography, and I cannot say enough good things about how wonderful they are!
Rez from Shari Photography made every effort to get to know my fiance and I and what we were looking for in our wedding photos.
He went above and beyond in every way - sending ...
a bottle of wine to thank us for our business, two photographers with no extra charge, took photos at our rehearsal, provided suggestions for great photograph spots, when our shuttle bus broke down he drove us to next photo spot and our venue, and he came early and stayed late on our wedding despite the fact that it went past our contracted time. He wanted to make sure no important moment was missed. Our interactions with Rez were very different from other photographers we met with. We felt he cared about our wedding day as much as we did and he was so high energy and enthusiastic. He was a pleasure to work with.
Finally, about the photos! Shari Photography's style can include those formal photos if you are looking for that, but they capture a lot of the candid moments, the real moments. Those were the types of photos we wanted for our wedding day. We didn't want typical and traditional. We were looking for something that was eye-catching, creative, genuine and different. Looking at the photos from our wedding, we got exactly that. And that is exactly what Shari Photography is - creative in their photographic talent, genuine in their interactions with their clients and they offer something different and wonderful. Highly recommend!
