    Could not recommend Burhan Photography more!

    I had the absolute pleasure of working with Burhan this past summer for our long anticipated wedding. Burhan was not only helpful and professional, but also so kind, responsive, and so fun to work with. The photos that we received were absolutely stunning and brought me to tears. He was able to capture such precious moments that we will be able to keep forever. If you have any special events or moments to commemorate, I would highly recommend contacting Burhan.

    As long as he's available, I won't use anyone else

    I have yet to experience a photographer that is as personable and easy to work with that is a talented as Burhan. I've used his services several times now and each experience has only gotten better. He takes amazing photos, and is fast with the returns. I won't be going anywhere else because I have no need to. Well done, Burhan!

    Highly recommended!

    Poor communication and lack of professionalism

    TLDR: Burhan is a good photographer but he’s only excited about things that work for him/his portfolio. His service and communication are very poor. He isn’t flexible unless you are willing to pay extra. We wouldn’t recommend him to anyone.

    ——————————————————————————————————————————
    We hired Burhan for our wedding photography. We loved his work and even though he was over our budget (which he knew at the time), we still hired him for our wedding. I wouldn’t lie, his work was good, but in the service industry, the service part is very important, which was very well missing with Burhan. His communication was poor, he said yes to things, but didn’t deliver up to it.

    During our wedding events, we received numerous complaints from our guests that the Photography wasn’t really into it. He had to be told what to do, which I dismissed at the time, but in retrospect it was clear that he was overly enthusiastic about the wedding photoshoot at Aga Khan Museum because it helped build his portfolio, we didn’t see the same enthusiasm during the rest of the wedding as it didn’t help his portfolio.

    We also had issues where he had to make slight adjustments to our wedding schedule. Our understanding was that we have hired him for particular number of hours, so even if we move things around a little and still utilize the same number of hours it shouldn’t be an issue. However, we had to pay him extra to move an event 2 hours earlier, which didn’t make sense at the time, but understandable. At our last event Burhan and I agreed to the final amount I had to pay him, including the extras. The next day, I paid him the balance yet he threaten to hold our highlight photos unless we pay him for the extra 15 mins his photographer had to stay for one of our events. He didn’t realize that his photographer was already late to that event, so he didn’t really stay extra.

    The biggest pain point was in our contract we were promised a pre-wedding/engagement photoshoot. However, due to weather conditions, we couldn’t do it before the wedding on the agreed date. I requested Burhan if we could do the pending photoshoot in Spring this year, to which he agreed. My wife was so excited about this photoshoot, but he called off the photoshoot one day before the planned date and ghosted us completely after that. This was the last straw. I have attached the screenshots of our chat.

    Absolutely talented and amazing!

    Burhan was an absolute pleasure working with! He went above and beyond my expectations and was so great working with. He is an amazing guy both personally and professionally. When we told him my expectations for my photoshoots with my husband, he did research and had all the necessary poses in mind to execute on the day of maximizing time. My husband and I felt so comfortable and at ease working with him because he made us feel like it was just a regular day for us. He was able to give us teasers within a day which was amazing and let me tell you, the pictures were mind blowing. My entire family and us were shook because we looked SO GOOD! I 100% recommend Burhan to everyone and honestly I want to have all my future photoshoots with him. He took my proposal, wedding, e-shoot and reception photos and they all turned out amazing. He always took photos of the small things and looking at them now, i AM SO SO GLAD he did. Burhan has the eye for capturing those precious moments, and he is incredibly talented. If you have him as your photographer, you are so lucky!

    Unique wedding photographer with a great personality!

    Burhan shot our engagement photographs in the beautiful Hamilton falls area. He has a calm and easy going personality coupled with high energy and inspirational ideas. He was quick, fun, and open to pretty much any photographic idea we could think of! We love that he did not hold us to an exact set of rules like number of dressing changes, exact times, and only a certain number of locations. Flexible, creative, prompt, and professional. I could rave about him all day but check out his professional website that bears his name and may his jaw dropping career of photographs give the final word.
    P.S. - Burhan is so friendly and helped to create such a fun and relaxing environment for our engagement photos that we all went out for pizza afterwards.

    the BEST photographer EVER!!!

    I found Burhan because two of my bridesmaids used him for their weddings, and I LOVED his photography style. Burhan is an outstanding photographer in every way -- kind, artistic, easy to work with, energetic, passionate, but most importantly SO TALENTED!!!

    My wedding sneak peek photos (WHICH HE DELIVERED WITHIN 24 HOURS) are truly insane. Everyone keeps commenting on them and asking who my photographer was. Burhan and his team did the most beautiful job directing us on the wedding day, and he sent my husband and I our photos in a very timely manner, which we so appreciated. Burhan was also very organized on the day. We went through our wedding party shots and family shots with lots of time to spare so I could go relax right before my ceremony. Lastly, not only did Burhan do our wedding photos, he also shot our engagement photos in the coolest most unique location in Toronto, which are equally as stunning. Hire Burhan Schmitt for your big day and you won't regret it!

    Memorable experience

    I am beyond thrilled we decided to use Burhan and his team for our wedding! Their service was unmatched during the entire process. They were so communicative, very responsive, and wanted to make sure that I was as stress free as possible! (Which was amazing!)
    Burhan and his team are simply amazing. They were so patient, calm, professional, and accommodating. When my mom wanted a few extra pictures they didn’t even blink an eye and said yes!! When i needed an extra minute or two, or needed to take a break, Burhan was always there to help me. That meant a lot to all of us. Burhan was such a pleasure to work with - during postponements and everything else that went on, I was always very happy. And on my wedding day, Burhan really really took so much pressure off of me! It was a great feeling. I would recommend them to anyone!
