“I was looking on yelp and the knot for a wedding photographer and it was very hard to decide. I'm very particulate with photos as I analyzed everyone's portfolio. Who wants a photographer that just points an clicks, and throw in a little edditing at the end? Some photographers were missing the fine details, and were unable to highlight the couples facial expression picture as the picture was taken.

Our wedding had the background of the Golden Gate Bridge and the view is beautiful and breathtaking, and i wanted to make sure the photographer was able to capture it.

After talking to couple of different wedding photographer's about they're angle, portfolio and price, I found Dominic from IMAN Studios. He had a lot modeling shots, that were really detailed. At first i was a little worried about the wedding part as it's nothing like a model shoot, as everything is on the fly, you only have that one shot.

So the wedding day comes, and before the scheduled time, he's at the hotel shooting and filming bright and early.

He started with the bride and her crew, then we started to take the Bridal parties.

Believe me, I hate taking pictures, but he was definitely making sure everyone had the correct angle, posture, and a smile on their face!

At the end of the night, I barely noticed him, as he was gracefully moving through out the venue, without causing any disruptions. Usually I see wedding photographers having to run all over the ceremony, and block guests so they can get their shot. Dominic was like a ninja with a camera!

After the dust settled from all the wedding festivities,

Dominic sends us the link to our photo album, and my jaw dropped, over 1300 pictures. and not garbage shots, these were well edited and precise photos. I didn't even know there were that many pictures taken that day, but every picture was in focus and clean.

Everyone that we sent pics to, they loved it. He was able to capture those facial expression between my wife and I during the wedding, that only happens at that one precise moment, in a click, it was in his camera! That magic moment will be something I look back on when I grow older, and be able to see in the photo, that wonderful moment of how we celebrated our marriage with friends and family! The album tells the story of our special night, and he definitely helped make it wonderful.

I plan on recommending Dominic to all my friends looking for a photographer! When it comes down to weddings and finding vendors, it's a very time consuming process and in the end, you are going to have to trust and depend on your vendors to make sure everything turns out the way you planned it. As I type this, with a big smile on my face, I know you will make an excellent decision, picking Dominic at IMANstudios. =)"
