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 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 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

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!

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!
