Best Speical Event Photographers in Los Angeles

We have worked with Sam twice for capturing the special moments of our two sons graduating from high school. He got everyone (esp the boys) comfortable during the photo shoot, came up with great compositions, and overall very professional and accommodating. Pictures are wonderful and it's a pleasure working with Sam.

A great professional who is making sure the customer gets exactly what they want. Very detailed oriented and always keeping the party moving to get the pictures that are needed.

Sameer captured some of the best moments of our lives - our sons first birthday! He was on time and suggested good changes to decorations that eventually panned out really good for taking pictures! He gave us some of the best pictures we can frame and was super easy to work with. I’d hire him again for any event and highly recommend him.

Very happy with the service. Sam is very professional and also very accommodating. I would use his service again.

We have recently watched my close friend's wedding live streaming captured my Sam n team. All the events n guests, especially, have been captured very well. Usually in live streaming we obverse that only bride n groom and main occasion would be focused but this team did a great job in capturing all the guests n rotating the camera and made the streaming more interactive and interesting.

This is our 2nd time working with Sam, and it been again a wonderful, collaborative experience. His work is superb and with always a personal touch. Thanks !!

Sam did the wedding photography and live streaming for our wedding ceremony. He did a wonderful job of capturing all the special moments of our wedding. The live streaming had great video and audio quality so all our guests could enjoy the event virtually.

Sam has been such a pleasure to work with. He took his time to explain everything to my husband and I in detail to ensure he met our expectations. He also was sure that everyone looked their best as he took our photos with his keen attention to detail. Sam and his team did an excellent job of capturing the essence of our cultures beautifully all while making our wedding look just as dreamy as it felt! We are filled with so much joy whenever we look at the memories Sam and his team captured of us. Their professionalism is unmatched and we're so happy we decided to go with Creations by Sam!

Sam was a pleasure to work with for our wedding reception. From the start, he gave great advice like a friend about the photoshoot and how to conduct the event itself. He truly enjoys his profession and it shows. He was creative with the Prewedding photo shoot and the videography also. the end product came out very well including the photos and video from the reception. He got all the key moments to make us always remember this memorable event for the rest or our lives. Lastly, his prices were very reasonable as I did shop around with other companies. Would not hesitate to use him again. Mr. and Mrs. Ali

We used Sameer Yagnik for our son's engagement party, and we are so thrilled with the results! It was an informal outdoor event, a meet and greet and we wanted some classic posed photos and some fun photos. We had met him before at various events, and what drew us to him was how he was always so friendly and mixed so well with the guests...he knows how to become part of the event, and so guests are at ease, posing, joking with him, calling him over. The results were awesome! Sameer came early so we could do family photos before guests arrived, and those are priceless--so many combinations were taken, in different settings and poses, of the couple, the siblings, the immediate family, the extended family. And once the party started, he made sure to take so many of the guests at closeup range as well as natural photos of people chatting, eating, drinking...he captured the gorgeous weather of the afternoon with shots that are crisp, clear, and very colorful. He even made sure to take photos of the whole event from upper vantage points, as well as closeups of many of the food items being served, the servers circulating drinks and appetizers, etc. Overall, he gave us exactly what we hoped for. Special events like this come only once, and get over in a flash, so photos are the only way to hold on to them..and Sameer captured a priceless set of memories for us. Highly recommended.

We hired Sam to take pictures and help live stream a special birthday celebration at our home. The digital pics that Sam took were outstanding - both in terms of the framing and the high resolution quality (each picture file being 25-30+MB). Our family members as well as guests enjoyed interacting with Sameer and posing for the snaps as directed. Sameer was very personable, jovial and blended in nicely -- some guests may have even thought he was a family member :-). The quality of the video live streaming was also terrific and we received several compliments from the remote attendees. Last, but not least, Sam's rates were very reasonable and the turn-around time on the photos was very quick - we received the curated pics within a day or two of the event. Overall, we were very satisfied with Sameer's services. We recommend him and his crew highly for photo/videography coverage at special occassions -- we wouldn't hesitate to engage him again in the future for similar needs!

We were looking for a photographer for my Son's engagement party, time was too short. We got Sam's reference from Sakoon restaurant. Sam responded right way and he was very professional in capturing the event. He took great efforts to capture minute details. Thank you Sam for these memorable pictures for us to cherish. We will recommend him to our family and friends. Prakas and Surekha Nair

We had a wonderful experience with Sameer for our pre-wedding photoshoot, as well as wedding photography and videography. We appreciated that Sameer found a competent substitute for the pre-wedding photoshoot when he was unable to make it due to illness. For the wedding itself, Sameer and his crew were very accommodative of our needs, arriving extremely early on a Saturday to photograph the venue before our ceremony got started, giving us appropriate guidance on posing, and using voice instructions since I couldn’t see his gestures without my glasses. We loved the way he seamlessly captured all the important moments of our ceremony, and that we could complete the additional photos and videos as a couple on the same day right after our wedding ceremony. Additionally, we were impressed by Sameer’s quick turnaround time of just over a month to get back to us with our final wedding pictures and videos, as well as their quality.

Sameer has been working on CRY Galas for a decade now and we keep coming back to him every time for our event photographs. Sameer is a thorough professional and a good friend of CRY who over the years has enhanced our beautiful selves through his lenses . We are very grateful to Sameer for giving his time and skills to the cause of the underprivileged children. His bubbly nature and clarity in executing his work is very evident in the way he approaches his work. Wishing Sameer and Team greater heights in all your endeavour

We highly recommend Sameer and his team for your special occasion. He and his team did a fantastic job for our daughter's engagement. He is very experienced. He was on time and very patient with all of us. He also listened to what we wanted and ensured that we got what we needed. He engaged with us and our guests in a delightful way to capture all those important and touching moments. Thank you Sameer for doing a really wonderful job for us.

Sam's Creation has been great to work with for my brother's wedding this past summer. He was great with communication while taking many smiling photos of our guests and the couple! Sam's very patient and careful with his work, always making sure the couple took the best poses for photos and had enough time to take them, in order for the day to be recorded and remembered. Overall, the photos turned out great and I'd would definitely recommend working with him for future events!

We reached out to Sam to cover our baby shower event. Sam did a great job in covering it for us and capturing some great moments. He was very accommodating with our last minute schedule changes. His work product is of high quality and the edited pictures he shared were really good!

My husband and I had baby shower venue and outdoor photos done with Sam and both sessions were amazing! Sam made the sessions really easy and fun, and he did a great job capturing natural looks. He is very professional and his photo turnaround time was quick. I highly recommend Sam for all your portrait needs!

Sam was generous with his time and took wonderful photos!

We highly recommend Creations by Sam for photo & video coverage for your special events. Sam provided us with great service and creativity in covering wedding anniversary. Before the event he gave us many ideas from his experience, and during the event he was the first one to reach the venue and stayed more than agreed duration. His edited pics and videos are of great professional quality.

Sameer Yagnik does incredible work, and we are so fortunate he was the one to capture our wedding memories years ago. Our photos came out beautiful, and he was so professional. For our 25th wedding anniversary, he again captured such beautiful moments, with amazing attention to detail. Our priceless memories were captured wonderfully by Sameer, and we highly recommend him. Neil and Amee Sawhney

Your dedication, commitment and professionalism to capture the unforgettable memories.

Sameer was our photographer & videographer at our daughter's half-saree function in December 2022. We recommend his services wholeheartedly. Sameer was very involved and helpful right from the get-go. He is very familiar with the local event areas and he offered good advice and great options when he learned of our venue arrangements. Special shout out to the family photo session we did before the event! During the event, he built a lovely rapport with my parents and other guests and set everyone at ease. Even after the event, he worked with us patiently on the photos/ final videos and was very flexible with our requests. At every point of the service, he went over and beyond. The result is a set of beautiful photos that captured the warmth and celebration of our event- memories that we'll treasure forever. Thank you so much, Sameer!

Sameer helped us capture our baby shower event. We did a quick one hour shoot at a park and then performed the rest of the rituals at home. Sameer was very patient and jovial. The pictures turned out really well and the moments captured will be cherished forever :)

Sam has been our family photographer for the last 30 years and is the most talented, passionate, hard working photographer we have seen! His experience shows in the top-notch, full coverage work that he does. From covering the very first TiECon in the Bay Area in 1993, to President Bill Clinton’s event in 2001, to all our wedding events in the 90’s and creating the first magazine style photo book back then, and recent family milestone events - he is a staple in the Bay Area. He is extremely experienced, talented, has passion, energy and captured every single moment of each occasion - which is key and exactly what we look for in a photographer. With Sam, you can be rest assured that he covers each and every detail and moment. He is able to read the room and “studies” the event and program well before event day to make sure he is set to cover every single aspect. Thank you, Sam! You are THE BEST! ** We are happy to be his reference at any time!

Sam was very communicative and professional. I can't recommend him and his team enough.

Sam and his team were absolutely amazing! They went above and beyond to make sure we got the perfect shots, no matter what. Sam especially made sure we got incredible pictures and video content in the very limited amount of time we had. The pictures are absolutely stunning and amazing quality, both the posed shots and the candid ones he got of us all throughout the night. Can’t recommend Sam and his team more! Thank you for everything!!

Sam, You are such a talented photographer, and we were thrilled with the results of your work! From the beginning, your friendliness and calm manner gave us all the confidence we needed. The best part is that you gave us suggestions and poses for the pretty pictures and videos. The videography and music synced in superbly well! We are super happy and thankful for all that you have done. In addition to that, the excellent services you offered were very reasonable, and we will not hesitate to recommend you to others. Thank you so much Sam for making our wedding a memorable one and all the memories to cherish forever.

Dealing with a tight budget, I did not plan on using a videographer. I decided literally a week before my wedding and reached out to Sameer, who called me almost immediately after. He worked with my budget and schedule and was very accommodating. The resulting video and highlight are more than I could have ever asked for. The quality of the videos is superb and I am so happy with how they came out. Thank you Creations by Sam!

Sam is wonderful! Attentive, charismatic, and open to feedback. Glad we found him!

We reached out to Sam to help take photographs for a grad party bash for 4 grads from the family. Not only is he friendly and makes everyone at ease when taking photos, he went out of his way to help setup a screen with own equipment where we were projecting the kids photographs through the years. Small things matter, and I would highly recommend his services. I am also part of Child Rights and You (CRY) Bay Area organizing committee and Sam has helped take photographs for pledge galas every year where donations are collected for underprivileged children in India. All-in-all a great guy to work with and very professional in every way!

Sameer’s team was our photographer for our daughters grad party, communication before and after the party was super easy with Sameer, Jose the photographer for the day was just amazing , he was patient and great with pics, we loved the all the pics..thanks

Very good service and very timely delivery of photos.

Sam did our little one’s first birthday photography. He was so patient with all of us especially our little one and took some amazing family photos which we will deeply cherish. He was very cheerful and actively engaged with all of us to get good photos with all our family and friends. Photos turned out amazing even without final edits too. His pricing is also very reasonable for Bay Area. I highly recommend Sam to anyone looking for a highly committed, cheerful and reasonable photographer. We will be reaching out to Sam for any upcoming events in our family.

Sam patiently explained each step and what it would cost. He outlined right from the start what I can expect from him. He also suggested outdoor photos for the couple and family. Knowing multiple languages is a huge benefit working with Sam. His crew was on time at the event, stayed throughout the main function. Promptly uploaded thumbnails within 5 days and the final pictures on time. Sam also was kind enough to suggest other vendors for decoration, flowers etc. I highly recommend him.

Sameer is an excellent photographer. He took all people present alongside with while he executed his profession during my son’s marriage event. His approach is 100% Costomer focus. I recommend everyone to prefer Sameer for any event / function.

Going above and beyond at the event, Sameer also rolled up his sleeves and helped us even set up our things without asking. Photos have come out so well and have captured all the best moments. I would say it has been a delight to work with such a talented and caring professional as Sameer. We wish Sameer well for all his future endeavors. .

Sam and his team did a great job for us at a recent corporate event. A responsive partner, he was more than willing to jump on a call before and after the event to ensure that our photo and video assets were just right.

Sam was wonderful! I’m not a fan of having my photo taken and he made the process easy and fun. My photos turned out as I envisioned: very natural. He was able to meet me as my local park.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Sameer as our wedding photographer! From start to finish, he was the perfect combination of professional, efficient, and warm. He gave clear instructions that made posing feel natural and stress-free, even for those of us who aren’t used to being in front of a camera. Sameer was incredibly timely and organized throughout the entire day, keeping things running smoothly without ever making us feel rushed. He captured all the important moments beautifully, while also catching candid shots that we’ll treasure forever.

We are very grateful to Sameer for giving his time and skills to the cause of the underprivileged children. His bubbly nature and clarity in executing his work is very evident in the way he approaches his work. Wishing Sameer and Team greater heights in all your endeavour

We used Sameer Yagnik for our son's engagement party, and we are so thrilled with the results! It was an informal outdoor event, a meet and greet and we wanted some classic posed photos and some fun photos. We had met him before at various events, and what drew us to him was how he was always so friendly and mixed so well with the guests...he knows how to become part of the event, and so guests are at ease, posing, joking with him, calling him over. The results were awesome! Sameer came early so we could do family photos before guests arrived, and those are priceless--so many combinations were taken, in different settings and poses, of the couple, the siblings, the immediate family, the extended family. And once the party started, he made sure to take so many of the guests at closeup range as well as natural photos of people chatting, eating, drinking...he captured the gorgeous weather of the afternoon with shots that are crisp, clear, and very colorful. He even made sure to take photos of the whole event from upper vantage points, as well as closeups of many of the food items being served, the servers circulating drinks and appetizers, etc. Overall, he gave us exactly what we hoped for. Special events like this come only once, and get over in a flash, so photos are the only way to hold on to them..and Sameer captured a priceless set of memories for us. Highly recommended.

We have recently watched my close friend's wedding live streaming captured my Sam n team. All the events n guests, especially, have been captured very well. Usually in live streaming we obverse that only bride n groom and main occasion would be focused but this team did a great job in capturing all the guests n rotating the camera and made the streaming more interactive and interesting.

We were extremely pleased with the service and quality that Sameer provided to us during our wedding and reception events. He was extremely patient throughout the whole process and made sure all of our requests were met. We were amazed by the quality of the final video and received compliments on it from lots of family and friends. I would definitely use Sameer again for future events and would recommend him to anyone as he is very punctual, responsive, and produces very high quality work.

Sameer captured some of the best moments of our lives - our sons first birthday! He was on time and suggested good changes to decorations that eventually panned out really good for taking pictures! He gave us some of the best pictures we can frame and was super easy to work with. I’d hire him again for any event and highly recommend him.

I took Sam’s services for wedding and like a genuine professional he told me everything which I needed to know and during the wedding he knew which angle and pose was best for the pictures,made our day memorable !!

Sam did the wedding photography and live streaming for our wedding ceremony. He did a wonderful job of capturing all the special moments of our wedding. The live streaming had great video and audio quality so all our guests could enjoy the event virtually.

Sam has captured our family milestones for over 15 years. His quality of work, attention to detail and overall professionalism has exceeded our expectations each and every time. Sam understands the nuances between taking charge and not interfering with the program very well and seamlessly captures the moments that we have then cherished overs the years.

Sameer helped us capture our baby shower event. We did a quick one hour shoot at a park and then performed the rest of the rituals at home. Sameer was very patient and jovial. The pictures turned out really well and the moments captured will be cherished forever :)

Sameer Yagnik does incredible work, and we are so fortunate he was the one to capture our wedding memories years ago. Our photos came out beautiful, and he was so professional.

Sam responded right way and he was very professional in capturing the event. He took great efforts to capture minute details. Thank you Sam for these memorable pictures for us to cherish. We will recommend him to our family and friends. Prakas and Surekha Nair

We had a wonderful experience with Sameer for our pre-wedding photoshoot, as well as wedding photography and videography. We appreciated that Sameer found a competent substitute for the pre-wedding photoshoot when he was unable to make it due to illness. For the wedding itself, Sameer and his crew were very accommodative of our needs, arriving extremely early on a Saturday to photograph the venue before our ceremony got started, giving us appropriate guidance on posing, and using voice instructions since I couldn’t see his gestures without my glasses. We loved the way he seamlessly captured all the important moments of our ceremony, and that we could complete the additional photos and videos as a couple on the same day right after our wedding ceremony. Additionally, we were impressed by Sameer’s quick turnaround time of just over a month to get back to us with our final wedding pictures and videos, as well as their quality.

Sam and his team is simply amazing!! Thanks for making our memories so alive!!

Sam has been such a pleasure to work with. He took his time to explain everything to my husband and I in detail to ensure he met our expectations. He also was sure that everyone looked their best as he took our photos with his keen attention to detail. Sam and his team did an excellent job of capturing the essence of our cultures beautifully all while making our wedding look just as dreamy as it felt! We are filled with so much joy whenever we look at the memories Sam and his team captured of us. Their professionalism is unmatched and we're so happy we decided to go with Creations by Sam!

Sam was a pleasure to work with for our wedding reception. From the start, he gave great advice like a friend about the photoshoot and how to conduct the event itself. He truly enjoys his profession and it shows. He was creative with the Prewedding photo shoot and the videography also. the end product came out very well including the photos and video from the reception. He got all the key moments to make us always remember this memorable event for the rest or our lives. Lastly, his prices were very reasonable as I did shop around with other companies. Would not hesitate to use him again. Mr. and Mrs. Ali

We have worked with Sam twice for capturing the special moments of our two sons graduating from high school. He got everyone (esp the boys) comfortable during the photo shoot, came up with great compositions, and overall very professional and accommodating. Pictures are wonderful and it's a pleasure working with Sam.

Sameer is an excellent photographer. He took all people present alongside with while he executed his profession during my son’s marriage event. His approach is 100% Costomer focus. I recommend everyone to prefer Sameer for any event / function.

Sameer was our photographer & videographer at our daughter's half-saree function in December 2022. We recommend his services wholeheartedly. Sameer was very involved and helpful right from the get-go. He is very familiar with the local event areas and he offered good advice and great options when he learned of our venue arrangements. Special shout out to the family photo session we did before the event! During the event, he built a lovely rapport with my parents and other guests and set everyone at ease. Even after the event, he worked with us patiently on the photos/ final videos and was very flexible with our requests. At every point of the service, he went over and beyond. The result is a set of beautiful photos that captured the warmth and celebration of our event- memories that we'll treasure forever. Thank you so much, Sameer!

We were extremely happy and amazed to experience the skill and professionalism that Sameer and team exhibited right from the start of booking a photography session for our daughters 4th birthday party to the session itself, and throughout the event, as well as post follow ups and prompt work and responsiveness. A thorough professional and an extremely talented photographer, Sameer made our daughter and us so relaxed and got those beautiful shots of my daughter who is a hyperactive 4 year old. Going above and beyond at the event, Sameer also rolled up his sleeves and helped us even set up our things without asking. Photos have come out so well and have captured all the best moments. I would say it has been a delight to work with such a talented and caring professional as Sameer. We wish Sameer well for all his future endeavors. .

We hired Sam to take pictures and help live stream a special birthday celebration at our home. The digital pics that Sam took were outstanding - both in terms of the framing and the high resolution quality (each picture file being 25-30+MB). Our family members as well as guests enjoyed interacting with Sameer and posing for the snaps as directed. Sameer was very personable, jovial and blended in nicely -- some guests may have even thought he was a family member :-). The quality of the video live streaming was also terrific and we received several compliments from the remote attendees. Last, but not least, Sam's rates were very reasonable and the turn-around time on the photos was very quick - we received the curated pics within a day or two of the event. Overall, we were very satisfied with Sameer's services. We recommend him and his crew highly for photo/videography coverage at special occassions -- we wouldn't hesitate to engage him again in the future for similar needs!

Hired Sam for corporate event with 100+ people. His team did an Amazing job with pictures and videos. Great communication and I highly recommend Sam for your next photography needs!!

My husband and I had baby shower venue and outdoor photos done with Sam and both sessions were amazing! Sam made the sessions really easy and fun, and he did a great job capturing natural looks. He is very professional and his photo turnaround time was quick. I highly recommend Sam for all your portrait needs!

Sam's Creation has been great to work with for my brother's wedding this past summer. He was great with communication while taking many smiling photos of our guests and the couple! Sam's very patient and careful with his work, always making sure the couple took the best poses for photos and had enough time to take them, in order for the day to be recorded and remembered. Overall, the photos turned out great and I'd would definitely recommend working with him for future events!

Dealing with a tight budget, I did not plan on using a videographer. I decided literally a week before my wedding and reached out to Sameer, who called me almost immediately after. He worked with my budget and schedule and was very accommodating. The resulting video and highlight are more than I could have ever asked for. The quality of the videos is superb and I am so happy with how they came out. Thank you Creations by Sam!

We reached out to Sam to help take photographs for a grad party bash for 4 grads from the family. Not only is he friendly and makes everyone at ease when taking photos, he went out of his way to help setup a screen with own equipment where we were projecting the kids photographs through the years. Small things matter, and I would highly recommend his services. I am also part of Child Rights and You (CRY) Bay Area organizing committee and Sam has helped take photographs for pledge galas every year where donations are collected for underprivileged children in India. All-in-all a great guy to work with and very professional in every way!

The pictures are absolutely stunning and amazing quality, both the posed shots and the candid ones he got of us all throughout the night. Can’t recommend Sam and his team more! Thank you for everything!!

Sameer, the photographer whom we hired for our 50th anniversary is the best I ever had. He and his team is well known in the community, and familiar with the culture and customs. We found him very cooperative and flexible. Choice of backgrounds and surroundings was amazing. Thus the photographs and videos turn out to be of excellent quality and actually better than I expected. Thanks Sameer!!

Sam has been our family photographer for the last 30 years and is the most talented, passionate, hard working photographer we have seen! His experience shows in the top-notch, full coverage work that he does. From covering the very first TiECon in the Bay Area in 1993, to President Bill Clinton’s event in 2001, to all our wedding events in the 90’s and creating the first magazine style photo book back then, and recent family milestone events - he is a staple in the Bay Area. He is extremely experienced, talented, has passion, energy and captured every single moment of each occasion - which is key and exactly what we look for in a photographer. With Sam, you can be rest assured that he covers each and every detail and moment. He is able to read the room and “studies” the event and program well before event day to make sure he is set to cover every single aspect. Thank you, Sam! You are THE BEST! ** We are happy to be his reference at any time!

In short, Sam and his team went above and beyond to meet our expectations. We highly recommend them for your special day. Thanks Sameer and team.

Sam patiently explained each step and what it would cost. He outlined right from the start what I can expect from him. He also suggested outdoor photos for the couple and family. Knowing multiple languages is a huge benefit working with Sam. His crew was on time at the event, stayed throughout the main function. Promptly uploaded thumbnails within 5 days and the final pictures on time. Sam also was kind enough to suggest other vendors for decoration, flowers etc. I highly recommend him.

I worked with Sam and his team to capture a high profile interview and his team delivered excellent results. The videographer brought way more gear than I expected and gave us options that we weren't expecting. I would recommend working with him.

Each picture is a beautiful reminder of a special day, and we will cherish them forever. We can't thank Sameer enough for the beautiful memories he created for us. Highly recommend!

It was wonderful experience with Sam We now know and have hired Creations by Sam and the team for 3 years. When we first hired them for our daughter's Wedding, Our entire experience from initial consultation, pricing, posing instructions and final edited beautiful images was simply the best! Our son recently graduated, and we once again hired him and our family was once again very happy with their work. Need I say more!? We recommend Creations by Sam for all occasions!

Sameer was on-time, and gave tons of great instruction to capture very solid portraits. He also did a great job with utilizing lighting to capture the photos and the final edits came out lovely!

Sameer is the best Bay Area Wedding Photographer you can find. He was referred to us by one of our family friends. We utilized his services for both the reception and the traditional wedding. We included videography and had a separate photo shoot as well. Sameer is highly professional, friendly and flexible with your needs. The quality of the photos and videos is exceptionally good. Further, he was able to capture photos with all our friends and relatives and kept the time on check throughout the event. He organized the flow of photo shoot very well and we are very happy with the outcome. He does have a combination of Traditional and Contemporary Photography. Our reception was more Western and the wedding was traditional. The choice of music for the video was excellent and my extended family was super impressed. Highly recommend Sam for all your photo and video needs.

Sameer is an excellent photographer. He took all people present alongside with while he executed his profession during my son’s marriage event. His approach is 100% Costomer focus. I recommend everyone to prefer Sameer for any event / function.

We're absolutely thrilled with the exceptional service provided by Sameer and team (Creations by Sam) at our reception! Right from the get-go, he impressed us with his punctuality, arriving on time and ready to go. His guidance during the planning phase was invaluable, ensuring that every detail was meticulously accounted for. During the reception, he was a whirlwind of activity, capturing every moment with enthusiasm and skill. His energy was infectious, and he seamlessly blended into the festivities, making everyone feel at ease. The resulting photos are simply breathtaking. He managed to freeze countless precious moments, allowing us to relive the magic of our special day time and time again. His talent for capturing the essence of the moment is truly remarkable. Moreover, his adaptability and communication was outstanding. He effortlessly accommodated our schedule and was quick to respond to any queries or concerns we had. In short, Sam and his team went above and beyond to ensure that our day was captured perfectly.

Hired Sam for corporate event with 100+ people. His team did an Amazing job with pictures and videos. Great communication and I highly recommend Sam for your next photography needs!!

We were extremely happy and amazed to experience the skill and professionalism that Sameer and team exhibited right from the start of booking a photography session for our daughters 4th birthday party to the session itself, and throughout the event, as well as post follow ups and prompt work and responsiveness. A thorough professional and an extremely talented photographer, Sameer made our daughter and us so relaxed and got those beautiful shots of my daughter who is a hyperactive 4 year old. Going above and beyond at the event, Sameer also rolled up his sleeves and helped us even set up our things without asking. Photos have come out so well and have captured all the best moments. I would say it has been a delight to work with such a talented and caring professional as Sameer. We wish Sameer well for all his future endeavors. .

Sam is wonderful! Attentive, charismatic, and open to feedback. Glad we found him!

We reached out to Sam to help take photographs for a grad party bash for 4 grads from the family. Not only is he friendly and makes everyone at ease when taking photos, he went out of his way to help setup a screen with own equipment where we were projecting the kids photographs through the years. Small things matter, and I would highly recommend his services. I am also part of Child Rights and You (CRY) Bay Area organizing committee and Sam has helped take photographs for pledge galas every year where donations are collected for underprivileged children in India. All-in-all a great guy to work with and very professional in every way!

Sameer’s team was our photographer for our daughters grad party, communication before and after the party was super easy with Sameer, Jose the photographer for the day was just amazing , he was patient and great with pics, we loved the all the pics..thanks

Very good service and very timely delivery of photos.

Sameer is very punctual, kind and wonderful photographer to work with.

Sam did our little one’s first birthday photography. He was so patient with all of us especially our little one and took some amazing family photos which we will deeply cherish. He was very cheerful and actively engaged with all of us to get good photos with all our family and friends. Photos turned out amazing even without final edits too. His pricing is also very reasonable for Bay Area. I highly recommend Sam to anyone looking for a highly committed, cheerful and reasonable photographer. We will be reaching out to Sam for any upcoming events in our family.

Sam patiently explained each step and what it would cost. He outlined right from the start what I can expect from him. He also suggested outdoor photos for the couple and family. Knowing multiple languages is a huge benefit working with Sam. His crew was on time at the event, stayed throughout the main function. Promptly uploaded thumbnails within 5 days and the final pictures on time. Sam also was kind enough to suggest other vendors for decoration, flowers etc. I highly recommend him.

I recommend this company for all of your photography and cinematography needs. They did excellent work for my brother’s event. Thanks to eventscapture

I wish could give more than 5 stars to him and his team. Excellent attitude and highly skilled team. This was the best, I had so far. Would highly recommend him and his team. It was fun, and the information received changed the wedding day. It's not just about the pictures, he actually wants you to enjoy your day and have it go as smoothly as possible. When the bride is happy, everyone is happy. When everyone is happy, you get great pictures! Thank you Harry, you Rock “Money ??”

Used events capture for the wedding — I’ve got to say the Album turned out fantastic. I think the video was not very cinematic in terms of stabilization, but really the album was amazing. I had a different photographer for the post-wedding reception but used Events Capture yet again for the other album - I can’t tell you how many compliments I’ve gotten. Thanks Events Capture!

We had hired eventscapture for our event. They did fantastic job! We were happy with their work and their professionalism. Final products looks great I would always recommend this team.

These guys did an amazing job for our preshoot and reception!! They were patient and allowed us to be natural during the Photoshoot! Can’t wait to share all the photos and video with family. Thank You EventsCapture!

I've always seen Harry's work on social media and had the opportunity to book him for my wedding photoshoot. I had a court wedding but booked Harry for a photoshoot at a castle. It was cold, by the ocean, there was snow on the ground, and Harry did not rush us at all. he has a keen eye for detail and goes above and beyond. we got our photos SO quickly, and my husband and I (and everyone who's seen the pics) are totally in awe. I wouldn't recommend anyone else. don't think twice about Harry!

Harry did a fantastic job at our event. He was very professional and punctual, had great communication skills, and was a pleasure to work with. His easy interaction with my family made the entire process smooth, fun and stress-free. His photos were awesome and captured the moments artfully. They reflected the joy and excitement that we felt. We highly recommend Harry and his team at Events Capture for anyone looking for great photography and videography.

Harry and his team were truly a pleasure to work with. I came in a bit stressed about being a little late and he made sure to make me comfortable and make my day so special. His jokes and overall vibe were so fun and friendly. We will definitely let all our friends and family to reach out to this amazing team for future events!!

Choosing Events Capture was the best decision I made while planning my wedding. There aren’t enough words that can truly capture what Harry and his team did for us. We had the pleasure of working with EC during our wedding weekend two weeks ago. They are true professionals who have amazing vision and communication. Harry is truly the best! He had incredible energy, so much patience, and had a smile on his face across all four events. The #1 compliment we received from all our guests after telling us they enjoyed the wedding was “Your photographer was amazing. We loved him!”. My husband and I have already decided we will be hiring EC for all our siblings weddings in the future. He truly made our entire experience so wonderful and fun. Can’t wait to work with EC again! I would give 10 stars if I could. Trust me, working with EC will be the best decision you will make. We are incredibly grateful we got to meet Harry and his team.

I was in search of a photographer finally i came across eventscapture team. Im so happy and satisfied with their outstanding work. I recommend this company to everyone Who is looking for good service and creative work.

Events captured delivered not only beautiful photos but astonishing service. Harry and his team were able to accommodate all of our needs and interest. From our primarily conversations, he understood exactly what I wanted and was able to deliver that impeccably throughout our events !

Working with Events Capture was an amazing experience. Planning a Hindu wedding and Reception during the Covid-19 pandemic was extremely difficult. The team at Events Capture were very responsive and accommodating. They were quick to respond to any question or concern we had. The pictures and video came out beautiful and the guests loved the energy that both the photographer and videographer brought to each event. Their patience and ability to make us smile & laugh made it a wonderful experience.

We had hired eventscapture for my engagement event they had captured all the beautiful photos and videos. Final products came amazing! I have already recommended two of my cousins to them. Love their service.

Very Professional and Creative Photographer with always smile on his face and make other smiles too! thank you for Capturing lifetime Memory!

I would only suggest this photographer to anyone. The kind of service we're talking about is of the finest quality, and the team will make you feel as though your occasion is a never-ending film. I refer to the kindness, patience, and humor. We all know that events may be chaotic, but I have never encountered a crew that handled chaos with such composure. Without Events Capture, I would be unable to complete any of my events, because of how beautiful their photography is, I frequently boast about how fortunate I am to have found such a talented photographer to friends and relatives.

Harry is a gem. Not only does he take great photos but he’s super personable. What I really appreciated was that he was able to get the uncles and aunties to cooperate while making them laugh- that’s not an easy task! Thank you Harry and can’t wait to work with you again one day.

Amazing work, very professional, did a great job for my Indian ceremony and American reception

We had hired him for our family event and we were really happy with the end result. Harry and his team were friendly, efficient, timely and the whole experience working with them was truly enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Harry and the Events Capture Team was beyond amazing to work with. The first time I spoke to Harry about the photography inquiry I knew that he would be our photographer. He explained everything in detail and the team had great communication start to finish. I let Harry know that I wanted to make sure we captured the love of our family and they did just that. Our pictures came out amazing and I would highly recommend him for any events. You will not be disappointed.Harry and his team are very talented and I’m so glad I chose them as our photography/videography vendor.

Harry and his team were a pleasure to work with. It was all seamless from the time we met with Harry to discuss services all the way until we were delivered our final products. Harry himself made sure that he was there for each of our events and the girls in the office made developing our album and video a breeze. If you follow their guidelines word for word, you will not go wrong. I've already recommended Harry and his team to one other couple, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Events Capture again!

It was an absolute pleasure working with eventscapture for our events. Team was excellent and very professional during all the events. We will definitely recommend to all our fridnds and family for upcoming event.

Hands down the best photography company we have ever worked with ! Harry and his team not only created such amazing memories but the energy they brought to out event was incredible. Events capture is the best!!

Events Capture is .... Absolutely AMAZING! I first met Harry in 2013 when looking for a photographer for my sweet sixteen and automatically fell in love with ECs work, from their albums to their video -- AMAZING. I did not only book them for my winter wonderland sweet sixteen but also for multiple of other events such as my 18th birthday and my moms 50th birthday! Harry and his team (ALL OF HIS TEAM) have amazing personalities and know how to capture a moment! I noticed below that previous clients were not happy with production but in my honest opinion Harry has it stated and mentions multiple of times that there is a specific production timeline and if clients such as myself are on time then they would be more then satisfied! My videos were AMAZING, so was the multiple of albums that I have received and the work is just so amazing. This team really does know how to capture an event. These amazing memories will stay with me for the rest of my life and I thank Harry for working with my family and I to capture these moments

Harry was available on short notice. He took some absolutely amazing photos for us. He was able to get them to us so quickly! Worked overtime to get them to us. We really appreciated his hard work and communication. He was friendly and able to capture all our special moments.

We got married a couple of weeks ago on August 20th, 2022. Choosing Events Capture was one of the best decisions we could have made for our wedding weekend. Just last night we spent about a couple of hours with our families looking through all of our wedding photos on the big screen for our Sangeet, Ceremony and Reception. The experience of looking through photos that encapsulates such an incredible weekend was priceless. Harry and his team captured the most memorable moments and the love our family had in such a beautiful way. It brought us so much happiness. Moreover, Harry and Sunny were just amazing professionals to work with. They were so warm, patient, energetic, fun and just really good people. They made us, our families, and our friends feel comfortable throughout. We got a lot of compliments about our photographer and videographer after the wedding weekend. We highly recommend Events Capture to anyone and everyone and will definitely be sure to use them again for all our future events. It was truly such a wonderful experience working with them.

Great photographer and great person overall! Did a fabulous job with my sisters wedding! I would definitely recommend to anyone!

Eventscapture did my cousins wedding and they did an amazing job. I definitely recommend this company.

I would highly recommended this place and their team. We were looking for someone to shoot our family events and from the first meeting we knew what we wanted. The energy they put in was top notch. If you want a job well done. Get these guys for your events

Eventscapture did amazing job at my sister’s wedding. Love the work and final products. Very friendly staff and very well knowledgeable in their game. Definitely love it!

Harry is my go to for any event. He has been doing all of our events from our wedding, maternity shoot, and even our baby girls first birthday! I recommend him to anyone and everyone that asks me for a photographer! The EC team always knows how to capture the best moments making them even more memorable every time you look back at the pictures!

Recently we hired By Sam to get some family pics for us. Our experience was absolutely amazing. Sameer not just patiently listened to all our needs… he and his daughter was absolutely amazing in capturing all our moments. This was essentially important as we had a 1 year old and a 4 year old. Our family pics came out beyond stunning. Will highly recommend Sameer. Thank you for making us look so great

We were looking for a photographer for my Son's engagement party, time was too short. We got Sam's reference from Sakoon restaurant. Sam responded right way and he was very professional in capturing the event. He took great efforts to capture minute details. Thank you Sam for these memorable pictures for us to cherish. We will recommend him to our family and friends. Prakas and Surekha Nair

We had a wonderful experience with Sameer for our pre-wedding photoshoot, as well as wedding photography and videography. We appreciated that Sameer found a competent substitute for the pre-wedding photoshoot when he was unable to make it due to illness. For the wedding itself, Sameer and his crew were very accommodative of our needs, arriving extremely early on a Saturday to photograph the venue before our ceremony got started, giving us appropriate guidance on posing, and using voice instructions since I couldn’t see his gestures without my glasses. We loved the way he seamlessly captured all the important moments of our ceremony, and that we could complete the additional photos and videos as a couple on the same day right after our wedding ceremony. Additionally, we were impressed by Sameer’s quick turnaround time of just over a month to get back to us with our final wedding pictures and videos, as well as their quality.

We hired Sam to take pictures and help live stream a special birthday celebration at our home. The digital pics that Sam took were outstanding - both in terms of the framing and the high resolution quality (each picture file being 25-30+MB). Our family members as well as guests enjoyed interacting with Sameer and posing for the snaps as directed. Sameer was very personable, jovial and blended in nicely -- some guests may have even thought he was a family member :-). The quality of the video live streaming was also terrific and we received several compliments from the remote attendees. Last, but not least, Sam's rates were very reasonable and the turn-around time on the photos was very quick - we received the curated pics within a day or two of the event. Overall, we were very satisfied with Sameer's services. We recommend him and his crew highly for photo/videography coverage at special occassions -- we wouldn't hesitate to engage him again in the future for similar needs!

We highly recommend Sameer and his team for your special occasion. He and his team did a fantastic job for our daughter's engagement. He is very experienced. He was on time and very patient with all of us. He also listened to what we wanted and ensured that we got what we needed. He engaged with us and our guests in a delightful way to capture all those important and touching moments. Thank you Sameer for doing a really wonderful job for us.

Sam's Creation has been great to work with for my brother's wedding this past summer. He was great with communication while taking many smiling photos of our guests and the couple! Sam's very patient and careful with his work, always making sure the couple took the best poses for photos and had enough time to take them, in order for the day to be recorded and remembered. Overall, the photos turned out great and I'd would definitely recommend working with him for future events!

We reached out to Sam to cover our baby shower event. Sam did a great job in covering it for us and capturing some great moments. He was very accommodating with our last minute schedule changes. His work product is of high quality and the edited pictures he shared were really good!

My husband and I had baby shower venue and outdoor photos done with Sam and both sessions were amazing! Sam made the sessions really easy and fun, and he did a great job capturing natural looks. He is very professional and his photo turnaround time was quick. I highly recommend Sam for all your portrait needs!

We hired Sam for a photoshoot of our daughter's high school graduation. From our first interaction to the final product, Sam was prompt, professional, and courteous! We couldn't be happier with the way the pictures turned out! During the photoshoot Sam took his time was always patient and made many recommendations for the poses and photo layout. Additionally, Sam is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. Kind, considerate, and accommodating of any your special requests.

We used Sameer Yagnik for our son's engagement party, and we are so thrilled with the results! It was an informal outdoor event, a meet and greet and we wanted some classic posed photos and some fun photos. We had met him before at various events, and what drew us to him was how he was always so friendly and mixed so well with the guests...he knows how to become part of the event, and so guests are at ease, posing, joking with him, calling him over. The results were awesome!

Sameer did an amazing job as our wedding photographer back in late September. He was knowledgable about lighting, poses, and even making sure everyone looked there best in the photos, reminding you to put down your napkins or fix your scrunched up shirt. He was not only an amazing photographer but he was very personable. He made you feel great with every shot he took, plus he was very diligent in his work. He reminded us the more shots we take, the more we have to choose from in the end.

I have used Sam for two weddings in my family. I really like the work he does. We were very pleased with his photography he did last year at our daughter's wedding. His work was professionally done and his pictures had great clarity . He pretty much covered the entire wedding reception very well. Recently, he made a beautiful album for us. The album showed that he covered the main aspects of the wedding as I asked him to do! He is well experienced in his work and has 30 years of experience behind him. I recommend him highly. He also has a very friendly and affable personality! Thank you Sam for your great photography.

Sam has been such a pleasure to work with. He took his time to explain everything to my husband and I in detail to ensure he met our expectations. He also was sure that everyone looked their best as he took our photos with his keen attention to detail. Sam and his team did an excellent job of capturing the essence of our cultures beautifully all while making our wedding look just as dreamy as it felt! We are filled with so much joy whenever we look at the memories Sam and his team captured of us. Their professionalism is unmatched and we're so happy we decided to go with Creations by Sam!

Sam did the wedding photography and live streaming for our wedding ceremony. He did a wonderful job of capturing all the special moments of our wedding. The live streaming had great video and audio quality so all our guests could enjoy the event virtually.

This is our 2nd time working with Sam, and it been again a wonderful, collaborative experience. His work is superb and with always a personal touch. Thanks !!

Very happy with the service. Sam is very professional and also very accommodating. I would use his service again.

Sameer captured some of the best moments of our lives - our sons first birthday! He was on time and suggested good changes to decorations that eventually panned out really good for taking pictures! He gave us some of the best pictures we can frame and was super easy to work with. I’d hire him again for any event and highly recommend him.

We have recently watched my close friend's wedding live streaming captured my Sam n team. All the events n guests, especially, have been captured very well. Usually in live streaming we obverse that only bride n groom and main occasion would be focused but this team did a great job in capturing all the guests n rotating the camera and made the streaming more interactive and interesting.

We have worked with Sam twice for capturing the special moments of our two sons graduating from high school. He got everyone (esp the boys) comfortable during the photo shoot, came up with great compositions, and overall very professional and accommodating. Pictures are wonderful and it's a pleasure working with Sam.

A great professional who is making sure the customer gets exactly what they want. Very detailed oriented and always keeping the party moving to get the pictures that are needed.

Sam has captured our family milestones for over 15 years. His quality of work, attention to detail and overall professionalism has exceeded our expectations each and every time. Sam understands the nuances between taking charge and not interfering with the program very well and seamlessly captures the moments that we have then cherished overs the years.

We have known Sameer since past 25 years.  He has made our three occasions memorable by capturing “Kodak moments” on his camera.  Our son’s wedding in 2002, daughter’s wedding in 2005 and our Golden Anniversary five months ago.  We like him for his quick witty actions  to capture the right moments.  His professional mannerisms  adds extra stars to his personality.  We will call him again and again for future occasions.

Hey Sam! This is Swapna - Thank you for taking such brilliant care of the entire photography job at our wedding - made my day! Your enthusiasm, professionalism and attention to detail is rare and much appreciated. Thank you again for capturing such an important day of our lives so well. I am happy to refer you to friends and family in the future. Cheers!

Thank you Sameer for covering our event and taking wonderful pictures for us to cherish. Sameer was professional, energetic and enthusiastic throughout the process. When we had special requests, he was accommodating and communicative with what to expect in terms of pricing etc. We would definitely recommend him to cover any special occasions.

As an event planner, one of the main thing that I focus on is how professional a vendor is and whether he/she has the capability to work as a team. I got the opportunity to work with Sam for a mutual client on May 26th. Not only was Sam and his assistant a pleasure to work with, they were very professional and handled the entire event flawlessly. I look forward to working with him in the future.

Our wedding events photo and video experience with Creations by Sam was exceptional. Sameer and his partner were very professional and creative. All of our photographs and video turned out more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. Sameer had great suggestions as to where we could take some photos and he worked with our schedule. It was almost surreal when we received our photo and video package. Sameer had captured the feelings and the beauty in every image. We were blessed with amazing surroundings and the lighting turned out great. Sameer's expertise showed all of this in our photos and video. We highly recommend Creations by Sam for any of your photography and video needs. Sameer has a great personality and we are confident he would treat you as well as he treated us. Great job Sameer!!

We had my birthday party for over 150 guests at the Country Club and Sam was our photographer. He has worked before for us to capture our kid’s birthday parties but this was a formal event in a huge hall with difficult (at times dim) lighting. Sam did absolutely the best job. We were simply blown away by the moments he captured. Every picture is truly memorable. He was a real professional and was there on time. He kept taking pictures non-stop for over 5 hours and sent us over 500 spectacular images. He has also provided us with high-resolution pictures on a drive. Guests who have reviewed the pictures via his online site are very impressed and touched by his art. Thank you Sam and we plan to work with you for our future events! You are the best!!

Sameer did an awesome job capturing the precious moments at my daughter's sweet sixteen. He took the time to take professional outdoor shots of the family before the actual event started in a formal event center, Corinthian Grand Hall. I didn't expect that at all, and am definitely blown away by the moments he captured and the quality of each picture. He has done a great job capturing all the important moments during the event. While the lighting in the hall was dim due to the formality of the event, I am impressed by the quality of the pics he delivered. He also took the time to take tons of pics during dancing, and they memorialized all the fun we had that night!! Thank you, Sameer for being so amazing and creative in capturing the special day for my daughter!

Sameer did an amazing job as our wedding photographer back in late September. He was knowledgeable about lighting, poses, and even making sure everyone looked there best in the photos, reminding you to put down your napkins or fix your scrunched up shirt. He was not only an amazing photographer but he was very personable. He made you feel great with every shot he took, plus he was very diligent in his work. He reminded us the more shots we take, the more we have to choose from in the end. Overall, he, himself, was any amazing assist to our wedding. After our event, he was quick to get us access to our photos which turned out amazing. We were over the moon with his work and we couldn't be happier. Our photos turned out absolutely amazing and we have Sameer to thank. I would recommend him to anyone, time and time again. He not only takes his work seriously, but he brings his energy and a lot of fun to get you the best shots you deserve. He is an unbelievable photographer and I can't wait for another event to have him come and capture our beautiful memories at.

Sam is a pleasure to work with. We hired him for an Indian wedding and reception. Sam is very detailed, and knows the importance of various rituals and how to capture them. Due to his experience, we are now enjoying the memorable moments many times over, and share them with near and dear ones.

We have used Sameer Yagnik for many of our family occasions over the past 15 years. Everything from formal family portraits to 16 yr. old b-day parties to 40th anniversary celebrations. Sameer is professional, on time, knows how to adjust lighting (for the best shot!), easy to work with and always has a smile. He is patient and really wants the best outcome for his clients. I would definitely recommend Sameer for your next occasion, whatever it may be!

Thank you Sameer for providing a wonderful experience! The photographs and videos were great and memorable for our daughter's graduation event. Your enthusiasm and professionalism are greatly appreciated. The sequence, editing, and presentation of the photos were outstanding. We will definitely recommend you to all our relatives and friends! Wish you the best!

Sameer, We thank you for all your great efforts and wonderful photographic work during my daughter’s sweet sixteen birthday celebration. All the photos and the video turned out to be extremely high quality. You and your team were very thoughtful in how to capture the complete event. It was very professional and well planned contributions led by you. We like the options and creativity you have included in your videos, especially the option to select for a quick review of the entire event. Not seen this before !! I will definitely recommend you to my friends and relatives and for any of my future events.

Siva was very easy to work with! He was the videographer for our Mehendi and Wedding in Livermore last month. He was very punctual and accommodating and even stayed back longer than we'd decided to make sure he got the right shots. He listened to our needs and even made a few great suggestions for our video montage. It was great working with him and I'll definitely recommend him for videography/photography engagements.

Thank you Sameer for covering our event and taking wonderful pictures for us to cherish. Sameer was professional, energetic and enthusiastic throughout the process. When we had special requests, he was accommodating and communicative with what to expect in terms of pricing etc. We would definitely recommend him to cover any special occasions.

We were extremely pleased with the service and quality that Sameer provided to us during our wedding and reception events. He was extremely patient throughout the whole process and made sure all of our requests were met. We were amazed by the quality of the final video and received compliments on it from lots of family and friends.

Its really too good ..

Excellent service....

This season Shaun is playing soccer in MYSC (Milpitas Youth Soccer Club) class. SVP was procured to take the group pictures. They picked Cardoza Park for picture area. I should concede the costs are really sensible. The picture takers picked an incredible setting and foundation for the photos. Likewise, they represented the young men and ensured they got the most ideal shot. I am anticipating getting Shaun's soccer pictures in 3 weeks :)
