House of Talent does an amazing job with capturing your event! We were lucky to work with both Sudeep and Sumdarash from our engagement shoot up to out reception. They captured our wedding beautifully and the pictures came out phenomenal. I think what is most important is how down to earth both Sudeep and Sumdarash are. They were so easy and fun to work with, which is very important on your big day. Moreover, the entire House of Talent team is very responsive to questions and concerns.
They really worked closely with us during the editing process for our picture selection and video editing. Their efforts were very much appreciated. I would definitely recommend using their services, you won't regret it!

HOT! What can I say?! When your original photographer cancels on you a few weeks before your wedding, you are scrambling. My first call was HOT because of all the people I know have used them. We met with HOT team 3 weeks before our wedding and we were so pleased. They understood us and as a couple and our nerves due to COVID, and yet they made us feel more comfortable by guiding us and being part of our wedding.
We changed things around up until probably a few days before, and yet they were still accommodating. We just got our pictures yesterday, and I am blown away! I cannot stop staring at them. They came out absolutely stunning and I have no words my breath has been taken away. I cannot wait to see our video, I am so beyond happy we used HOT and I look forward to using them in the future for other events!
