e was outstanding. Despite her busy schedule, she was always responsive and provided invaluable guidance throughout the planning process. What truly set her apart was her willingness to consult on areas beyond photography, offering insights that enhanced our overall wedding experience.
On the day of our wedding, her calm and polite demeanor was a godsend amidst the chaos. She expertly navigated the hectic atmosphere, ensuring all important moments and people were captured without adding any stress to the day.
The quality of her photos is simply breathtaking. She has a keen eye for composition and lighting, resulting in images that are both beautiful and emotionally resonant. What impressed us most was her versatility in photographic styles. From classic posed shots to candid moments, and from romantic portraits to lively reception scenes, she effortlessly switched between styles to tell the complete story of our day.
Her artistic vision shines through in every image, with creative angles and unique perspectives that we wouldn't have thought of ourselves. Yet, she also listened attentively to our preferences, striking a perfect balance between her professional expertise and our personal vision.
In short, Tiya was not just a vendor but a vital part of our wedding experience. Her professionalism, talent, and genuine care for her clients make her an absolute gem in the wedding industry. We wholeheartedly recommend her to any couple looking for a skilled, dedicated, and supportive wedding photographer. You won't just get beautiful photos; you'll gain a trusted advisor and artist who will preserve your memories in the most stunning way possible.
We got married last week in Southern California (we are from Seattle area), and hired Tiya because we loved her photos online and her pricing was amazing. We did not guess, however...
, just HOW AMAZING she was and how lucky we were to have her and her team (Michal, the videographer for our wedding). The two of them were SO kind and professional, doing the hard work to try and get as many shots as they could of our day while also not making us stressed or overwhelmed. We both felt like royalty during our photos, and were SO happy with how our preview photos have turned out! I cannot recommend her enough, for any kind of wedding! She was the perfect mix of casual, "action" shots, with sophisticated and elegant poses that made us feel (and look!) so impressive. My husbands family also speaks very little English, only Spanish, and her team was so patient and helpful, everyone loved them and I had guests coming up to me saying they loved Tiya and Michal, they were "so nice and so fun!". It was a pleasure to have these two as a part of our day :) THANK YOU TIYA!
We had an event last month which became very memorable as a result of amazing photos Tiya shot from all angles, all beautiful moments and all details. Every min we look at the capt...
ure of those moments, it brings in a big big smile to our family. I strongly recommend her if you would like to leave your event to professional hands.
Tiya blew us away with her talent and expertise! Not only is she incredibly personable, sweet and kind, she also went above and beyond in making sure our day went super well. I rec...
ently hired Tiya for my wedding reception, and she did way more than was asked of her. There were times during the reception that people got in the way of the photos and there was a general lack of organization at the party, but she took charge and made sure that everyone got their photos. We also had an unexpected issue with the live stream camera and she helped us resolve that too. I've hired her multiple times now and will continue to hire her and her crew for family events. I definitely recommend Tiya and her crew for all occasions! The photos and videos came out beautiful and I cannot wait to share them with everyone!

when taking photos! Being more camera shy myself I felt beautiful and empowered with Tiya behind the camera. She was encouraging and let you know exactly what she was trying to achieve. She was also very open to inspo that I wanted to incorporate into my photos and helped me to achieve that. Mostly I did not have a plan for the types of photos I wanted to take but she took the reins and guided my husband and I. My wedding photos came out promptly and were so beautiful! Not only did she provide the edited photos but the raw photos as well which I really appreciated. If you're thinking of Tiya and her team for your photos don't think twice! Will definitely be using her services again in the future.

rgy was infectious, and her enthusiasm matched ours. It felt like she wasn't just capturing moments; she was living them with us. Her expertise shone when she seamlessly directed me, our videographer, and all the guests to ensure every shot was perfect. I was genuinely at ease knowing she had everything under control. Whenever I felt uncertain, I found solace in Tiya's presence. And to top it off, she joyfully danced with us, capturing candid moments all the while. Her passion for her craft and her genuine love for celebrating life's moments are evident. Tiya wasn't just our photographer; she's now a cherished memory from our special day. Thank you, Tiya joonam!

autiful and everyone so far who has seen them has LOVED them. They are genuinely so so beautiful and you managed to create such a different vibe from the Nikkah photos you did. I am seriously so so obsessed. I’ve already picked the ones I want to post on IG and the portraits we want to print out. You blew us away at the Nikkah and we trusted you for the shaadi and you delivered once again, even better. Seriously so obsessed and so thankful to you. I’d recommend you to literally everyone!!!!
Stunning photos and great vision/creativity!
