Booking a session is easy and convenient! You can get in touch with me through multiple channels. You can reach out to me directly through my website's contact form, providing some details about your needs and preferences. If you prefer a more direct approach, you can contact me by phone at 203-296-3305 or send me an email at hello@shotbymirza.com.

Can I meet with you before booking?

black arrow

Of course, meeting with you before or after booking is not only welcomed but encouraged. I believe that a personal connection and open communication are vital for creating beautiful, meaningful photographs.

If you're in New York, I'm more than happy to meet in person. We can grab a coffee or take a leisurely walk at a location of your choice, which can also serve as the backdrop for your photos. It's a wonderful opportunity to get to know each other, discuss your ideas and preferences, and ensure that we're a great fit for your needs.

For those located farther away or with busy schedules, Zoom and FaceTime are excellent alternatives for our meetings. These virtual meetings provide the convenience of connecting from the comfort of your own space.

Furthermore, once you book with me, you'll receive my personal phone number, so you can reach me at any time with questions, concerns, or ideas. I'm here to provide you with the support and guidance you need to make your experience enjoyable and stress-free. Your satisfaction and comfort are my priorities, and I'm looking forward to working with you!

What is the process after booking?

black arrow

Before your event, we'll take several steps to ensure everything goes smoothly and to your satisfaction. After you reach out to me, we'll have a direct conversation to discuss your event and your expectations. I want to understand your vision, preferences, and specific needs thoroughly.

To help us connect more personally and ensure we're a good fit for each other, we can schedule a virtual meeting via FaceTime or Zoom. This gives us the opportunity to get to know each other better and address any initial questions you might have. During this conversation, we'll review your goals for the event and see how my photography style aligns with your vision.

It's essential to ensure we're on the same page, as this will greatly influence the final results. Depending on the type of event, I may require a non-refundable deposit to secure the date in my calendar. This deposit is typically required for weddings/elopements/engagements, as they often book well in advance. It's a commitment from both of us to make sure your event is a top priority.

From the moment you book with me until the day of the event, you'll have direct access to me. You'll receive my personal phone number, and you can reach out at any time with questions or concerns. I'm here to support you and make the photography aspect of your event as stress free as possible. Your satisfaction is my priority, and I'll work closely with you to capture your special moments beautifully.

How long after the event will I get my photos?

black arrow

The delivery time for your photos will vary depending on the type of session:

Weddings: After your special day, it typically takes about 4 weeks for me to edit and curate the final collection of wedding photos. However, I understand your eagerness to relive those beautiful moments, so I'm pleased to offer a sneak peek within just 72 hours. This sneak peek will give you a glimpse of the magic we captured.

For all other sessions: Whether it's a portrait, engagement, couples, or any other type of session, you can expect to receive your edited photos within 2 weeks. Just like with weddings, you'll also receive a sneak peek within 72 hours to whet your appetite for the full collection.

To make it even more convenient for you, I provide an online catalog where you can easily download all the photos you desire at absolutely no additional cost. This way, you have the flexibility to save and share your cherished memories with family and friends.

If you prefer a physical copy of your photos, I can also provide a USB drive. Please let me know if you'd like this option, and we can discuss the details. My goal is to ensure that you have your photos in the format that best suits your needs.

Are you available outside of New York?

black arrow

I'm absolutely available for photography opportunities beyond New York and Connecticut, and I'm excited about the prospect of exploring new places and capturing beautiful moments there. In fact, I already have shoots booked in some exciting locations for 2024, London, Texas and Florida. If you have a special event that's outside of my current location, don't hesitate to reach out.

While I'm open to traveling, it's important to note that travel expenses may be applicable depending on the destination. I'm more than willing to discuss the specifics and work with you to make your photography experience memorable, regardless of where it takes place. Your vision, no matter where it leads, is important to me.

Do you only photograph weddings/elopmements/couples?

black arrow

No, I don't exclusively focus on weddings, elopements, couples etc.. While those are certainly some of the beautiful moments I capture, I started my photography journey in the automotive scene, and my passion for cars remains a significant part of my work.

I've always had a deep love for the world of automobiles, and I find joy in photographing these magnificent machines. So, if you have a passion for cars and would like to work with a photographer who shares that enthusiasm, I'm more than ready to switch things up and collaborate on an automotive project.

I would never say no to exploring new photography opportunities. Whether it's a project related to cars, portraits, landscapes, or any other creative concept, don't hesitate to reach out and message me. I'm always open to discussing your ideas and how we can bring them to life through photography. I'm excited to hear from you and explore the possibilities together.
