Rishi Shah
I came across Shai Dolev online while searching for a photographer for our wedding event this August. From the very beginning, Shai was clear, prompt, and professional in his communication, while also offering a very reasonable price. Although personal circumstances meant Shai couldn’t attend in person, he reassured us that his colleague, Iryna, would be there instead. Thanks to the excellent customer service we had already received, we felt completely confident that we were in good hands. On the day, Iryna arrived right on time and immediately explained her approach, perfectly aligned with what we had discussed with Shai. Her focus was on capturing candid moments of our 300+ guests—a task she handled with patience and professionalism, even with the natural chaos of a big family wedding. She blended seamlessly into the event, ensuring nothing felt forced, and her warm presence made the experience even more enjoyable. To our delight, less than 24 hours later, Shai and Iryna shared a small preview gallery. The photos were stunning—natural, vibrant, and beautifully captured—which only heightened our excitement for the full set. Just two weeks later, we received the complete catalogue of over 600 images, each one a reflection of the joy, colour, and emotion of our special day. We couldn’t be happier with the results. Every moment that mattered was beautifully preserved, giving us memories to treasure forever. I would wholeheartedly recommend both Shai and Iryna to anyone looking for talented, reliable, and genuinely caring photographers for their event. Thank you to you both!! :) More...

Shai was a great photographer for our corporate event. Communications were good, he was punctual and delivered the photos to the required brief very quickly afterwards, all for a very reasonable price. Recommended.

So glad we booked Shai for our recent event. He was very professional, discreet and a lovely guy. I would recommend Shai and will use him again in the future.

Shai was fantastic - he was very generous with his time, going above and beyond and staying longer than we had hired him for to get the perfect shots. We gave him a very specific, precise brief and he captured and brought it to life very confidently. He worked very hard and the end product was exactly what we wanted - a range of moods, styles and moments for our marketing materials - on a quick turnaround time. We'll be working with him again!

We were really impressed with Shai and his work. Firstly, he was punctual and very responsive to our emails making him time efficient. He was extremely professional and produced some amazing top quality photography for us. The conditions where he had to take pictures were quite difficult - dark scenery, etc. however he produced exceptional photos which we are now using across all our marketing - he was very focused and it was an absolute delight having him work with us. Thank you again, Shai! More...

Shai is a true professional, he carried out his work to a high standard and at times l totally forgot he was there, this helped me to enjoy my evening. His presence at the party was one that helped capture the moments l will always look back at and not be disappointed at all with what he produced. The finished pictures he produced were stunning and l had a lot of positive feedback from my guest, who have said will use Shai's services. I HIGHLY recommended Shai. Again, Shai, l can't express my gratitude to you and the work you carried out. You will be doing lots more work for me, that's a guarantee. So happy with the pictures. Great work. - Catherine More...

What do you love most about your job?
I love the challenge of capturing a unique moment or creating a creative photo even in a trivial scene.
It's really exciting to see your footage and realise that you were able to document a special moment for someone.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I was fascinated by viewing the world through the viewfinder.
It wasn't long until I understood what make the difference between a good and an amazing photo.
According to my clients' responses, this seems to have been the right decision.
Why should our clients choose you?
I understand my clients' needs and know how to create a successful outcome.
I work hard to make sure each and every photo will do my clients a good service.
I respect my client's budget and always try to give an attractive quote.
