Working with Saud and his team was an amazing experience. All photographers/videographer were easy to work with. We had a one day event with a lot of expectations (HDP met all those expectations). We will be recommending High Dynamic to our friends and family.

It was a pleasure working with Saud Kazi and his team! All photographers/videographers were professional and patient. The whole team was very friendly and receptive of our vision for our special day. We did an outdoor shoot prior to the event and are super excited to see the results. Saud was very professional and seemed excited to be a part of our big day. My husband and I were glad we chose Saud as our photographer as he was very understanding of our timeline for the day.I will 100% be recommending High Dynamic to friends and family.

The high dynamics team was honestly the best photography and videography experience ever. This team went above and beyond to ensure that every special moment of our wedding was captured. Saud was an absolute pleasure to work with. He made sure to make us both feel relaxed and to make sure we were able to enjoy our event without worrying about anything else. the team even went as far as to stay even later than what we had agreed on and that shows the dedication saud and his team have to make sure every special moment was shot. They made sure to have even both families get familiar and comfortable with them so that things would go easier for the families as well. overall, if i were to ever recommend a photographer/ videographer to anyone, it would definitely be high dynamics.

When it comes to a wedding, you want the best for yourself..So when we were looking for photographers, we went through a lot of profiles and did immense research. Finally, we decided to go with the High Dynamic Photography & Films..the number one reason has to be their creative shot taking, their amazing talent for music and every picture has a story to tell. We enjoyed the entire three days of our wedding with the team and they have been an absolute dream to work with. And finally, when we received our videos and photos, we were thrilled. They were breathtakingly beautiful and had a lot of emotions. It was totally worth for the money and efforts. Saud and his whole team were so friendly, kind, patient, cooperative and professional. Thanks to Saud and his whole team for capturing our special days and giving us memories to cherish for lifetime..Highly recommended!

FRAUDS! Please stay away from these no good frauds. Saud will take your money, overcharge you in fact for a subpar, down right bad service. This man was hired to cover a 3 day event. He was present with his crew on my wedding day for over 3 hours, and gave back 30 minutes of poorly out of sync video that looked like a third grader had edited. I went through all his reviews and literally every 1 star review says the same thing. He outright skipped many moments one looks to have on video of their wedding. Save your money, time, and headache and find another photography service. I am literally pursuing legal action against this man. And from the looks of it from reading his reviews, I’m not the only one.

Horrible experience would never hire such an unprofessional photographer again. Hired him for my sisters wedding, a 3 day event. He was there all three days and for 6 hrs if not longer, as per the contract. Based on the package we bought we received a video for each day and a digital album. However, the videos were each 30 minutes or less. It seemed as if a 13 year old had made compilations out of something he recorded on his iPhone. There would be random cut scenes that didn’t highlight the main event whatsoever. The entrances of the bride and groom were all out of place as well (grooms entrance would be in the beginning and then there would be random footage with the bride and groom together and the brides entrance didn’t come till the last 10 minutes of the entire video). The photos were just entire files of every photo they had taken at the event, they didn’t even sort through the pictures before sending them. Upon being dissatisfied with the work, we reached out to Saud and he made very minor changes to the videos before sending them back. After being dissatisfied yet again, he has been ignoring us to make more changes. Very unprofessional, would not hire again.

I am not from the area so it was tough for me to choose vendors for our wedding without a ton of recommendations. So when I did research I really tried to find a photographer that had the style I was looking for, I wanted the photos to be creative and to look like they were out of a movie. As soon as I found High Dynamic photography & films website, I had to reach out to them. Upon meeting Saud we got such a great first impression and it was really no question that he was it! He was willing to travel to Boston, where my husband and I met, for our engagement photos, and we even had an impromptu dinner afterwards which was an absolute blast. I would have never thought it would all go down like that and it was a pleasant surprise that he genuinely wanted to get to know us and be more than just another one of our vendors. Saud came with a fantastic assistant and they both made us feel at ease on our big day. As is with every family and wedding party, we had lots of different personalities and they took it in stride and dealt with everyone both professionally and playfully at the same time which was a relief for me!! Just before Saud left for the night, he presented us with a beautiful framed photo ALREADY from our wedding. We were obviously not expecting that at all and just stunned by how he made that happen, it made me want to cry! He truly captured moments from our day that made me feel like we were part of a movie. But no, this is real life and you SHOULD feel like this on your wedding day!! He was an integral part in making that day a fairy tale for us. THANK YOU SAUD & THE ENTIRE HIGH DYNAMIC PHOTOGRAPHY & FILMS TEAM!!!

Saud took a deposit from us for video/photography services before COVID closures in the amount of $500.We had to postpone our events twice but still kept Saud in mind. When he gave us a new contract for the rescheduled date, he changed the contract to increase the price for summer rates and get all the money up front and refused to honor the $500 deposit. His response was it is non-negotiable. We tried to work with him in earnest and he ignored my emails and instead responded to my wife.There are plenty of reputable photography/ video services available locally. Do your research and stay away from high dynamic and Saud. Not worth the trouble.After realizing the reviews I have written, he threatened to sue myself and my wife for breach of contract and demanded payment of the full package despite never providing any services for the package.

Amazing work by Saud and his team.. They really are more than photographers. From the beginning through to the end they offered endless support and guidance. On the day itself we felt in safe hands and it was like having two friends there with you ! There experience and professionalism shines through, allowing you to relax and have the best day of your lives ! We got our first round of photos through today and couldn’t be more happier with the results, they are seriously talented, patient and genuinely love what they do ! If you’re thinking about booking them for your wedding, DO IT!!! You won’t be disappointed ! They have captured memories we will cherish forever ❤️👏👏❤️

Since the first time we sat down with Saud, both my family and my fiances family was very comfortable with him. He consistently goes out of his way to please us. When we sat down for the first time, I offered to meet him closer to his home as the weather was pretty nasty - he said not to worry about it and drove a long distance with all of his albums to meet us. This was the case during our second meeting as well.For our engagement session, my fiance and I met him at our location. From there, he took us to 3 additional locations he picked out for us and coached us through pictures. He was extremely detail oriented and took his time to make sure each shot was perfect. He took his time with us despite the cold weather and made multiple trips with us to make sure he got the perfect shot. He is very pleasant to work with and made us feel comfortable. He even offered to pick us up Starbucks! Again and again, we are surprised at his work ethic and are very happy weve selected him to capture our wedding!

One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was working with Saud. Not only do we have amazing pictures and videos that will last our lifetime, he was so easy to work with and accommodating in many ways. His team was respectful and nice, and any request I had for the days of photography and the edits, he did not fail to oblige. Our wedding pictures speak for themselves to the quality of his work. He was very professional and understanding as well.Saud knew exactly what to do and had ideas for poses when we weren’t prepared, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I was surprised at how much him and his team actually covered for all of our events. I still look at our pictures and videos everyday and I truly appreciate the care Saud put into making our memories perfect. I would HIGHLY recommend High Dynamic Photography for any of your future occasions, my husband and I had a great experience and will always be thankful for the awesome pictures and videos. Communication is key with any vendor, and Saud listened to any changes or edits we wanted.Thank you again to Saud for the beauty of his work!!

Saud did a really amazing job for our wedding events. His work was beyond our expectations. The clarity of the pictures and the video is excellent. He is very punctual and needs no direction. You just have to enjoy yourself and Saud will take care of capturing every single moment for you.

High Dynamic Photography is AH-MAZING! I can’t talk enough about how great Saud is and how great his work is! From the get go Saud was very professional in his dealings and always on time! Saud went out of his way MULTIPLE times! Not only is Saud a great photographer but also a great guy! I got married in November when it was really cold in Chicago where the temperature felt like it was in the negatives. Before we even began our outdoor photoshoot he offered to bring me coffee which was a very sweet gesture! During the photoshoot I was literally freezing my hands and feet were shaking because of the cold and he was such a gentleman to let me borrow his gloves, which I unfortunately dropped somewhere in the photoshoot (I feel really bad about) and even then he was so sweet about the whole incident and didn’t bat an eye. He is one of the sweetest most humble person I have ever worked with! Apart from that he did what he had to get great pictures and didn’t prolong the photoshoot than necessary he was able to capture beautiful pictures at the perfect locations suggesting the perfect poses in a matter of a few minutes!! His work definitely shows how experienced he is! My outdoor photoshoots and my hall photoshoots were both breathtaking! In addition, he made the entire experience very fun and made us feel comfortable by encouraging us to try different things throughout the photoshoot. I am still stunned at how great the pictures came out! My wedding pictures exceeded my expectations!He did an exceptional job capturing every detail of my wedding. Every picture was very carefully thought out, clear and bright! All the pictures he provided were edited to perfection! At each of my 3 wedding events Saud made sure to position everyone in the best way to make sure the picture came out perfectly. He suggested ways we could improve our picture, helped with suggesting different poses to give a variation in photos. He was very easy to work with and did an exceptional job at capturing every moment without making it difficult or forcing it. He made sure to capture all the big AND small moments on my special day! Photos and video that I will cherish for a lifetime! He was very accommodating and very patient with all my guests which was really important to me. I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for my wedding! My sister just got married and we chose Saud to be our photographer and videographer for her wedding events as well! I highly recommend him to anyone and everyone that is looking for a high quality photographer that knows what he is doing! I am so glad I went with Saud and would definitely go to him in the future!

Want to relive your wedding ten years from today with vivid details, then High dynamics is your dream team. Saud is very professional, but at the same time it felt like we’ve known him for ages. My entire family loved working with him and his team. The quality of his work is phenomenal, left us jaw dropping when we received our pictures. Best part working with Saud is that he’s always full of jokes and always keeps us laughing and entertained throughout the events. We hired High Dynamic for our engagement shoot, and our three day wedding events. Always on time and ready to shoot on any given beat! We will most definitely be working with this team again! Thank you for the ever lasting memories!!!

High Dynamic Photography & Films is the place to go for stellar wedding photography & Cinematography. As far as I am concern, they deserve 10 star review! They are based in Chicago but as far as I remember Saud told me they travel all over. They are reliable, dependable, trustworthy, and very easy to work with. Whenever we had questions, they responded in a timely manner, which is so important when you are planning a wedding. Saud & his team did a spectacular job. They were very efficient on the wedding day, and we were able to quickly, and in an organized manner, get all of our getting ready shots, details outdoor shoot (Which came out amazing) & the family and group photos out of the way before the ceremony even started! High Dynamic photography & films team captured every aspect of our wedding and were very attentive to the details. We received all of our edited photos in 4 weeks after the wedding, and to my surprise wedding highlight along with that and fully edited films in 6 weeks. I am not trying to over exaggerate but my jaw dropped when we saw our wedding films. It brought back all the memory and I was in a tear of joy…they captured every moment that I had missed on my wedding day. Family & friends were all very impressed by the quality and style of the video. The pictures came out so great, especially our first look pictures, which were so emotional and beautiful--Saud & team didnt miss one second of the emotions that we felt. Overall, this is a great company; we highly recommend their work...Worth every penny.

We had contracted with the above outfit and owner Saud Kazi to provide video and photography for a wedding event. It was a one day event that was over 6 hours long. I had expressly mentioned in the contract and verbally confirmed with owner that we wanted a long video to cover the entire event in detail.The contract mentioned that the video crew would film for the entire duration of the event, and they were present as per contract and seemed to have filmed most of the event. However, the final product we received was a mere 22 minutes video after over 3 months of delay. Saud said he could not produce a longer video unless we paid extra. We ended up hiring an attorney and after spending thousands, we were provided with a final video of around 45 minutes.Based on our extremely bad experience, I would never recommend High Dynamic Photography & Films to anyone.STAY AWAY FROM THIS OUTFIT

Saud and his team covered all 3 of our wedding functions including nikkah, mehendi and reception. We were walked through the entire process in the begining and Saud tailored our contract according to our needs and expectations.The photographers arrived on time on each day. They were friendly and personable. They had a distinguished professional ethic and I say this because, looking at the pictures it seems like they captured every important moment of each of the event in a seamless fashion. It was as if they were in more than one place at a time!The photography has beautiful perspective and great variety. The editing is minimal and just enough to express the emotions and expressions of each moment captured. We have a fair share of fun pictures, family portraits and wedding portraits to hang around our place.The process involved with short-listing pictures from a plethora of pictures is typically tedious. However, the program used by Saud to carry out this task was user-friendly and efficient.If you are looking for a complete package, I would definitely recommend hiring High Dynamic for your big day and all your important life events!

We learned about Saud & HDP through my fiances cousin, viewed his webpage and realized immediately his edgy yet elegant and distinctive artistic style fit our personalities. When we first met him, my fiance and I immediately knew he was the perfect fit because Saud has a passion for photography that emanates in his speech. We booked him and we felt really touched he would send us exciting reminders of our big day and was very flexible in attending our prewedding functions. We just completed our engagement photo shoot yesterday and it was incredibly fun! We traveled to our favorite city spots and Saud did an AMAZING job commenting on our posture and was able to catch gorgeous shots that Ive only seen in Hollywood/Bollywood films. He had a number of ideas but also gave us freedom to be creative with our shots. By the end of the day, you Saud seems more a longtime friend. Really looking forward to the actual wedding weekend. Would definitely recommend Saud to ALL my family members and friends! :)
