Meet the Photographer

Storyteller of your fairytale

I’m Shuhrat, a passionate wedding photographer based in Michigan. Michigan has always felt like home to me, and I’ve had the honor of photographing weddings across the state—from the charming small towns to the bustling cities. Whether it’s the serene shores of the Great Lakes or the vibrant streets of Detroit, my mission is to tell your unique love story in every beautiful corner of this state.

A photographer…

that loves genuine moments and heartfelt laughter

5 years ago, if you had told me I would be here today, I would have called you crazy. But one day, my husband handed me a camera as a gift, and here I am!

I’ve always loved the simple yet meaningful things. The moments that catch you off guard- they’re my jam! 

Through life’s twists and turns, I ended up in Michigan as an immigrant. It wasn’t long before this place won me over with its quiet and calm vibe.

If you are looking for an easy-going and intimate approach to your wedding memories, I think we will fit perfectly together.

“I don’t want photos that look Stiff or Awkward”

If this is what you are thinking, I got you!

I don’t want my clients to worry about emotionless photos.
If you can’t connect with the sentiment of the moment, what’s even the point? 

I believe in building an authentic connection with you and understanding you. In every step of the way, I am invested in you and your story

No forced laughter, stiff poses, or fake smiles.

Your comfort will result in palpable memories. Memories that reflect your personal and intimate narrative.

Ethnic Elegance: A Personal Touch to Your Cultural Celebration

As a part of an ethnic group, I understand the significance of culture in weddings. I am from South-East Asia, and I relate to my ethnic clients on a personal level.  

Planning an ethnic wedding is fun! But it gets even more exciting when you have the right vendors and resources by your side.
