We can’t thank you enough!!”

How we break the Mold
We block out an entire day to spend with you in your city or wherever else you might like to adventure to!
From planning locations to mood board inspirations, we take great care to help you plan a day that is not only a dream shoot, but also has aspects that document the life you currently live.
We’ll ask you questions like:
What do you love to do together?
What are you favorite places?
What is your DREAM shoot?
(Even if it means a flight to Europe!)
We don't plan a "session" with you.
We explore. Eat at little cafés. Do a crossword puzzle and pop champagne. You go on your dream date, and we follow along.
We’ll ask you questions like: What do you love to
do together? What are you favorite places? What is your
DREAM shoot? (Even if it means a flight to Europe!)
This is how we break the mold.
Every other photographer will spend an hour with you at sunset.
We block out an entire day so you have time to reminisce, make new memories and enjoy conversation over great food and even better cocktails.

The Engagement
Experience
"These are Photographs we can show our grandchildren one day to prove we were once young and cool!! THEY CAPTURED OUR LOVE FOR EACH OTHER: MOMENTS UNIQUE TO OUR RELATIONSHIP THAT WILL ENDURE AND BE TIMELESS."
- Andy + Mark, 2024
"Our engagement photoshoot in SF was a real highlight. The day was beautiful and we really got to get to know both Andrew and Mashaida as we went throughout SF to some of our favorite and most picturesque spots. We really felt like we fell in love all over again with how beautiful the day was with the memories that came back and the new ones that we got to share with Andrew and Mashaida."
-Ramesh, 2023 Groom
the approach
It's the little things. And the big things. All the joy. Absolutely the party. Definitely the after-party.
Tears. Handshakes. Laughter. Hugs. Kisses. Lots of kisses. Moments of you talking to each other or to friends, being silly and goofy, simply capturing the joyful atmosphere. Fun and lively, artistic, cinematic, and editorial shots that feel more documentary-style than posed/forced. Sprinkle in a little 1950s vintage Vogue, film and flash. Mashaida's the artist, I (Andrew) am there for comic relief (and I take damn good photos too..)
We make a pretty awesome team, if I do say so myself.
Let's get to the party.
Take me there.
“Our rapport was so good, our friends couldn’t believe that we had just met, and even thought they were part of the wedding party.”
"Andrew and Mashaida are hands down the best photographers imaginable, and the outcome of our wedding photos turned out to be the definition of perfection. They made us look like our best selves by directing us on poses that made us feel natural and comfortable. Andrew and Mashaida go beyond just capturing photos. They don't think of their clients as clients - they care for them as friends and it shows. We continue to stay in touch to this day, and I know we aren't the only ones who had such a positive experience."
Elise and Zach, after their Chateau Wedding in France
“I remember thinking to myself ‘WOW, these are pictures my grandchildren will one day have.’”
Andrew and Mashadia have such a keen eye for interesting poses and settings. Their creativity and direction they took everything was magical and all the credit goes to Andrew and Mashaida. They are true artists. They put so much love and care into their craft, which resulted in pictures we will hold onto and cherish forever."
Alexa and Benton
“Andrew and Mashaida have such a beautiful editorial eye, helping us relax and feel natural while being able to capture our personalities flawlessly.”
"I’ll just state the obvious —Mashaida and Andrew are incredibly, insanely talented. The way they capture every moment is so beautiful and intentional, capturing every detail without you ever noticing they’re there. Not only that, but they genuinely make you feel so elegant, which is such a comfort because the last thing you want to worry about is how you’re going to look. Naturally,
I will always think our wedding photos were the best, but what I found surprising was how many friends, family members, even distant coworkers went out of their way to tell me how much they loved our photos as well!"
Katie and Morgan, after their Paso Robles Hammersky Vineyard wedding.
“They are true artists that are extremely knowledgEable and know how to capture images in a very elegant and timeless way.”
“As a professional wedding planner and decorator I have worked with Andrew and Mashaida not only for a client’s wedding but for my own wedding as well! They are not only professional, but extremely kind people that will make sure their clients are comfortable throughout the entire process. I can’t thank them enough or explain how much we loved our wedding photos."
Bahar and Sekandar, after their destination wedding in Lake Como, Italy
“When we look at our pictures now, it’s like we are reliving that day. The emotions that the images evoke are so real.”
"Andrew and Mashaida truly captured the essence of our day and it's so fun to see it through their eyes. Everything from the candid photos that capture our joy to the posed portraits and detail shots that capture the elements of our day were just perfect. In the end, the tangibles are priceless, but they truly provided us with an experience that we won't soon forget. We started the wedding journey looking for a vendor to take pretty photographs, and walked away with priceless legacy worthy tokens and dear dear friends whom we'd open our home to any time."
Charlotte and David, after their Washington D.C. wedding
