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.
