We first met Nicole at Kunal’s brother’s wedding and decided to try them out for our winter pre-wedding shoot in New Hampshire about 10 months before our wedding. Since our wedding was to happen in India and we were getting recommendations from our wedding planner there, we didn’t actually commit to PTaufiq photography right off the bat for the wedding itself, but the moment we met Nicole, Pervez and their kids in NH for the shoot, we knew that nobody else can be as crazy and passionate both about their work and family as Pervez and Nicole! We reached NH late in the night with the idea that the photoshoot would happen the next morning, but they were ready to start shooting that very night and already had ideas for it (it was almost like they read our minds for the smoke bombs and had them ready even before we told them about it). Pervez literally almost got run over by a car on an isolated bridge at 3am taking an epic pic of us! Not only did they travel all the way to India to capture every event of ours, they had regular conversations with us in the months before to get to know us better as a couple, about our wedding theme, outfits etc and to understand our vision such that they could make it personal in every way possible. They were also extremely accommodating throughout, for instance they agreed for an impromptu photoshoot in India a few days before the wedding and fulfilled our crazy last minute request for a pre-wedding video to be played during our reception. We literally completed the shoot for that on our mehendi day and Pervez put together our pre-wedding video overnight. We also really liked their openness to our feedback during the editing process, such that we could combine their creativity with our personal touch. PTaufiq team has this unique sense of space, time, body language and emotions, which enables them to capture the best angles at the most opportune moments. Pervez would also never fail to make you laugh through the shooting process and Nicole with her grace, elegance and modeling background helped us a lot with couple portraits (which we never thought we could look good in, we both tend to usually only like the more candid photos). Nicole also gave me the best advice on the morning of our wedding, while I waited for the baraat to come; I could then completely calm down and spend the time reflecting on our love and life together without stressing about anything else. That truly made me deeply enjoy every moment. They also sneakily recorded us after the reception for an interview and the words that were spoken then became one of the most beautiful memories for us as part of our wedding trailer. Thank you Nicole, Pervez, and the rest of the team for that and each and every amazing memory you have left us with, cannot thank you enough for that! We will forever cherish the teaser, trailer and films that the PTaufiq team made for us as it brought back memories from that day. We could not have asked for better finished products, such that its hard for us to resist watching it every day. Photography and videography is not just a job to them, they live and breathe it in every moment of their lives. They are these extremely creative souls, who can find unconventional ways to capture and freeze any moment. This is evident not just from their professional portfolio but also from their own family photos and videos, all of which exude love. In fact, they initially started shooting to capture their own family moments and then expanded it to make it their professional job. Anything that has its origin in family and love can only lead to multiplying more love and magic, which is exactly what they create wherever they go. You just cannot go wrong with them for your big day. We were so impressed by their work and enjoyed shooting with them so much, that we want to keep shooting with them. We are hoping to do a photoshoot with them again at our one year anniversary and cannot wait to be captured by them again. When they were leaving the hotel after our wedding, we didn’t feel a vendor was leaving, but were in fact sad to say bye to the part of our family/friend circle that they had become by then. Our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without Pervez, Nicole and their team capturing it and without their friendship. - Kunal & Disha
