Rahil Ahmad, London

Rahil photographed my wedding in the summer of 2015. He was very difficult to get hold of in the run-up to the wedding, but was polite and courteous when we did speak, and made an effort to understand what we wanted. He did come across as very disorganised at that time though, for example saying that he had not received emails that we had sent him but later it would turn out that he had seen the email and forgotten about it.

On the wedding day itself he was fantastic, worked really hard and our guests all loved him. The photos were beautiful and he really captured the mood of the day perfectly.

With that in mind I so wish that I could recommend him, but after the wedding he started ignoring all forms of communication from us until it got to the point where we thought we were never going to get our photos back. I then received a long apologetic email from him full of empty promises but still, no photos. Eventually I contacted groupon to arrange a refund, thinking the photos were lost, and within days he miraculously got his act together and sent us the photos.

He did not fulfil any of the orders that our friends and family made on his website, so I just sent them all copies of our photos instead.

I do wish I could recommend his services because he is an excellent photographer, but those months where we thought our photos were all lost were just so stressful that I am unable to do so. My advice would be not to get sucked in my the cheap price tag unless you're prepared to spend a lot of time chasing him, and based on some other reviews I've seen maybe never receive your photos at all. It's the biggest day of your life so spend a bit more on a photographer who is reliable and understands how to treat customers before, during and after their big day.

He is a good photographer, very friendly , but when it comes to delivery ,he cannot deliver. Endless phone calls and email , no response, I been married for 3 years now and haven,t seen not one photograph.  I don't recommend

Him to anyone you guys would be throwing away your money , even if recommend

By someone. He never reply to phone calls , email. No communication. So it just seem as if he take your money on your special day. But any day I see him someone ring the police I may loose my cool.

Too much of a gamble. Don't hire him. A very distressing experience. We got married in 2005. Rahil was recommended by a friend who had no problems; she now feels awful for suggesting him. He is a good photographer, charming on the day but then he disappeared. We never got our photos. He refused to reply to endless emails, phone calls, letters over the course of five years. If I thought it would do any good, I would still chase him. It's not as if you can replace your wedding photographs. We are not the only people he did this to. There were many negative reviews from people with similar experiences a few years ago but for some reason they disappeared after he changed his company name. I'm glad some people got their wedding photos but you really are taking a big risk if you hire him.

Rahil photographed our wedding in Warwickshire in October 2012 and did a great job. He was very accommodating, met with me beforehand to understand what we wanted and delivered on every aspect. He was good natured and fun, got the guests laughing, took great pictures and was unobtrusive throughout the day.

I have been prompted to write a review two years on, as only yesterday friends were remembering and remarking on what a great job he did!

Lots of guests bought his pictures for themselves they were so impressed...

He was great value and my only regret is that I didn't have him to also photograph the prep before the big day!

We had Rahil as our wedding photographer in August 2013. He worked really hard on the day with 4 locations to get pictures from. We didn't think he would manage it but he did.

He was great around our guests, even after the wedding people were asking after him and saying how friendly and fun he was.

Rahil was able to photograph us without feeling too pushy or turning our wedding into a photo shoot. Something that we were keen to avoid.

The images that he has produced are of a really good standard. We would recommend him.

Rahil was a fantastic photographer on the day of our wedding, he made everyone feel at ease and we had great fun being photographed.

I've got no idea whether the photo's came out well though because three weeks on I haven't heard from him at all, and i've tried contacting via phone and email and haven't had a peep out of him. I'm so looking forward to seeing the photos but really dissapointed in his lack of communication.

We hired Rahil to be our photographer for our wedding in January 2013 and we were extremely happy with the service on the day and the excellent photos he got for us.

On the wedding day, Rahil was friendly and polite and got great natural shots in addition to great organised pictures. He has a great talent for making people relax in front of the camera which really helps in getting the best shots, but also made everyone enjoy the photo sessions. Unlike photographers at other weddings that I have experienced he was not to demanding on us or the guests, and allowed everyone to mingle and enjoy the day whilst still getting great shots.

Artistically Rahil organised the photos to make the best of the scenery and available light. Each picture is fantastic with excellent attention to small details which make a huge difference. We couldn't be happier with the end results and Rahil has captured some amazing moments and memories of our wedding day.

Both before and after the wedding, Rahil has supported us and taken all the hassle and stress away from anything photo related. He took time to meet and get to know us before the wedding, and after the wedding was extremely patient waiting for us to make the selection of the shots! Throughout he has been available by email and phone to answer any questions.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Rahil. His service represents excellent value for money but his approach to his work is what makes the difference. There a plenty of "good" photographers, but Rahil's way of working combined with his creativity makes him a truly excellent photographer..

We had Rahill as our wedding photographer and we are delighted with the overall high level of service he provided us. He was so polite and friendly with all the guests, which really helped us relax and get the out of the day. All our guests commented how friendly he has and this put them at ease when having photos taken. The most important bit - the photos - these exceeded our expectations and we have thoroughly enjoyed looking through them again and again. After the wedding he was great too, we loved the online library and he sent out our photos in plenty of time for Christmas (despite me leaving it late!). For me booking Rahil will take the risk or apprehension out of booking a wedding photographer, and will be one less thing to worry about.

As soon as I saw Rahil's work, I knew he was the photographer for us! Now that the wedding is over and we have seen the results, I was so right! The photos are fab and truthfully I can't stop looking at them!! My husband and I had two weddings this year-We had a civil ceremony on the Queen's Jubilee which Rahil covered so well that we had to have Rahil again for our indian wedding ceremony in October! We have been so pleased with everything about Rahil, from his personality to his working manor. Both my Husband and I felt so comfortable being photographed by Rahil, and I am not an easy person to work with as I struggle to be in front of a camera! But Rahil managed to make me feel at ease and take wonderful pictures! All my family and friends commented on how great Rahil is and they loved him! My Sister already has asked for him for her wedding day and she doesn't even have a guy yet!

We used Rahil for our wedding on the 9th June,I don't really like my picture being taken but Rahil put me at ease straight away and the outcome was fantastic. We had a beautiful location and were very lucky with the weather so the images that Rahil has taken captured the day perfectly. I think my wedding day was perfect and the pictures I have remind me of that every single day. Great work Rahil!!!!!
