Why should people choose Shakeela photography over many others in the city?

First and foremost reason for choosing us is, as we are a team of female photographers, brides are much more comfortable with us. Photography is not just a job for me. I don’t do it because I need to. I’m a photographer because I love the art of it, and I love the challenge of composing and creating beautiful photographs. Each wedding marks the start of a family. I have the privilege of creating timeless images for my clients that will be treasured for generations. I have spent many years learning the craft of photography. The business I run isn’t something I just started on a whim after getting a nice camera and being lucky with getting a few good pictures. I have studied and I have experimented. I take the time to listen to my clients, their needs, desires, and concerns, focusing on the details the bride want to share so that my clients will cherish for generations.

Any suggestions for upcoming photographers?

*You journey is not a race. Stop comparing your journey to others and continue at your own pace ,as comparing will only trip you up. Celebrate the small and simple success along the way. Don't be afraid to push your ISO to get that sweet shot. Its Better to have some grit,than to have out of focus images!
