  Just one word: AMAZING!!!

  Sachin and his assistant, Scott, documented our wedding celebration perfectly! They managed to be fun and personable while at the same time completely professional. I could not recommend him enough if you're looking for a professional photographer. Throughout the planning period, he researched the venue, checked in with us, and offered great advice that made the day run so much more smoothly. I especially appreciated how he came up to us during the celebration to quietly remind us of the schedule, if we wanted to quickly revise a photo time slot, and if we wanted more photos done because he had found an amazing view.
  
  Sachin has a great sense of aesthetics and managed to make my husband and I comfortable and natural in the photos. We also loved looking at the photos and seeing all of the little moments that we weren't able to fully appreciate on the day: interactions between family members, group photos, and the beautifully set up food and decor. Our family and friends were all in love with him and by the end of the night and had many high compliments for him.
  
  Thank you, Sachin and Scott, for helping us not only create beautiful keepsakes of that special day, but also for helping us make the day even better than we could have ever imagined!

  Sachin is exactly what we were looking for in our wedding photographer- highly recommend him!

  When we started planning our wedding and deciding what aspects of a wedding are most important to us, photography was right at the top of the list- if we were going to spend a lot of money and a lot of time on this event, we wanted to have fabulous photos to reminisce over for decades to come. We could not be happier that we went with Sachin for our wedding weekend- he was absolutely everything we were looking for in our photographer. Talented, creative, knowledgeable, helpful, kind, confident in his abilities but humble in his approach. Sachin has a wonderful warm presence about him, but he is also good at being lowkey so that sometimes you’re not really aware of him being there, snapping away with his camera- which results in great candid shots. Sachin took extra care and time and scouted out great photo locations around our venue (Manning Park). We’ve received many compliments on the quality and variety of our photos. Thank you, Sachin!

  World class photographer with incredible eye for detail!

  My husband and I hired Sachin to capture our wedding day in Stanley Park. We were immediately drawn to his website and photo-journalistic approach to his craft. Being from California, we were a bit scared to be working with vendors in a different state (let alone different country!) but working with Sachin could not have been a more pleasant experience. He is so friendly and beyond organized. We met in person a couple times to go over everything and he was always super responsive to my emails. On the day of the event, Sachin was a rock star! He was constantly on the move finding the best lighting and best backdrop for our photos, and there was no lagging time between shots - we were on a tight timeline so we could actually enjoy our wedding. We wanted a combination of industrial raw shots throughout the city as well as the lovely surrounding nature of Stanley Park - he captured everything beautifully! We just received our photo link from Sachin and my husband and I were both in tears - beyond impressed how he managed to capture ever moment from the best day of our lives in such incredible photos!
  
  In addition to the beautiful photos he took, Sachin also set up an interactive Gif photo booth where guests could create their own short videos and immediately send to themselves. This was such a fun feature of the wedding and we now have an additional Gif gallery of (funny) memories of our guests.
  
  I'm trying to think of a way to throw another event up in Vancouver so I can hire Sachin again!!

  Sachin has a genuine love for what he does and the talent to back it.

  Something that was so important to me when searching for a photographer was finding someone who could really capture the experience and natural expressions of us and our guests. I wanted my guests to be able to find great shots of themselves in my albums that they could fall in love with, and Sachin did an incredible job of this.
  
  We also got some amazing shots of us dancing the night away, which hubby and I were so happy about! This was a testament to Sachin's generosity and his obviously genuine love of capturing special moments, as he stayed longer than planned getting these shots.
  
  Everything we got (over 1,000 digital photos) were professionally edited and easy to access and view online.
  
  Hubby and I so appreciated Sachin's willingness to work with our timelines over multiple days, including two weddings on consecutive days, a Haldi night and a helicopter photo shoot, as well as having such talented and kind Associate Photographers available so we could capture everything we wanted.
  
  Not only was Sachin organized, punctual and responsive, he was just a joy to be around. His passion is so evident, but in a really calm and grounded way. My guests had so many good things to say about him and our photos.
  
  A major added bonus was Sachin knew all the important shots to take at our Hindu wedding ceremony, which was such a relief because, not being from that culture myself, I had no idea what I was doing or what to expect 😂
  
  Thank you Sachin!

  I hadn´t actually discovered wedding wire until after the wedding when my wife told me about it. After reading all the other reviews, I would say that our experience was similar to one of the other couple´s experience. Leading up to the wedding we had a really good feeling about Sachin because we seemed to get along. The communication was initially good but after the first payment we would have to follow up several times to get an answer. This was a big pain, especially for my wife. Pictures were okay. They weren't as impressive as on his website. Not the worst but not the best either.

  Sachin was our engagement and wedding photographer. We had some issues with his responsiveness- ie. it was often difficult to get a hold of him and we would often receive out of office emails that were unanswered for days. He didn't seem that experienced in terms of day-of coordination or quality of work. His photographs for our wedding were nothing like the photos posted on his website. The photographs from our engagement and wedding were mediocre at best and didn't reflect our day very well. We were generally unimpressed with his work. We would not recommend this photographer to our friends or family.

  Sachin Khona Photographer's reply:

  I'm really very sorry that you had issues with my responsiveness. As it can get busy with weddings in the summer and engagement sessions, I do my best to let couples know via an 'out of office' reply that it may take me 24-48 hours to respond to any emails because I'm working on shoots. If any queries are really urgent, I do ask that they call me for an immediate response. If I was any longer than 48 hours via email, I do apologise.
  Having been shooting weddings for over 5 years, for over 75 couples, I do stand by the quality of my work. Unfortunately no concerns were raised after the engagement session and if they were I would have been able to address these for the wedding to ensure they were in line with your vision of the photos you expected.
  In all honesty, I'm totally unaware of any upset clients and if I had been approached personally I would have done everything in my power to make things better.
  If there is anything I can do now to help your situation, do get in touch and we can work out a possible solution.
  Thank you.
  Sachin

  Sachin is a phenomenal photographer. We actually chose him as our first vendor booked since it was SO important to us that he be available on our date. His eye is exceptional and his quality of work is without a doubt A+
  We would hire him again and again if we could!

  Where to start with Sachin?
  My Wife & I have been in the wedding industry for the better part of 10 years (Musician, Entertainment Planner & Hairstylist) so it's safe to say we had very specific requirements when looking for a professional photographer to capture our special day. Sachin Khona was the perfect fit for us.
  He is super professional - in a new way, very cool but always humble, and he always allows you to feel casual and comfortable in front of the camera which was very important for me (hate getting my photo taken lol)
  As a photographer he is versatile and can capture the images that you imagine should be in your album, but Sachin goes one step further and captures things in a way that only he can, he is a true artist. Sachin managed to really tell OUR story through the photos he took on our wedding day and our engagement shoot. We are so lucky to have found him, getting to know Sachin throughout the planning process was a real treat a we feel we have made a lifelong friend, not just hired a wedding photographer.

  Down to earth, funny, and THE MAN when it comes to wedding photos. He is like a wedding photography Ninja - you don't even know he's there. But his work is breathtaking, each photo beautifully capturing the moment. Sachin is unlike any other. Photo after photo tells a story, moving and meaningful. We are beyond amazed and thankful for all his work, and will continue to recommend him to anyone and everyone. Book him, you won't regret it! Thank you Sachin for capturing our memories forever XO

  Choosing Sachin as our wedding photographer was probably one of the best decisions we've ever made as a couple. He not only provided incredible photos and made the whole day feel incredible for us, but he truly became a friend through the process. Sachin's professionalism and ability to make everyone around him feel at ease really took all the stress out of our special day. His work speaks for itself and we couldn't have been happier with our images and prints. We would HIGHLY recommend Sachin to any other couple who is looking for an amazing photographer!
