Hi there!
My name is Farid and I am a wedding & portrait photographer. I love what I do.
My wife and I have two beautiful children who are married to their soulmates. Our son has his masters’ degree in mechanical engineering and works in the rocketry and aerospace industry. My daughter is a talented photographer and part of our team. Her strength is attention to detail in post-production of the pictures.
My career in photography started in the early 1980’s in Los Angeles. I worked with and studied photography with many notable area photographers. My passion with photography has always included attention to detail while capturing the precious moments in life.
Photographing a wedding or shooting a portraiture is a very exciting and artistic endeavor. To me, it’s about conveying the clients’ story in a way that captures the essence of who they are. Of course knowing lighting, posing, and having the best equipment, and a lot of experience is also extremely essential. But most of all, it’s about creating the best memories for the couple on their most special day. It will be a privilege for my team and I to be a part of your wedding day.
Pictures will be life’s storytellers long after the memories fade. I love knowing that a little piece of my artistry will bring joy to my clients for years to come.
So let’s have fun together and come up with unforgettable images for you!
