Hi I'm Sameen! Somewhere between curiosity and chaos, my love for photography started when I was just a kid. I first picked up my dad’s old camera and photographed anything and everything I could. I was fascinated by how one click could hold a unique feeling and freeze a moment in time.
In 2019, I officially stepped into the world of wedding photography, drawn to the challenge (and beauty) of turning real moments into lasting art. Since then, I’ve fallen in love with storytelling through light, movement, and emotion while capturing the quiet in-between moments as much as the big, bold ones.
Every celebration is different, and your photography coverage should reflect that. In addition to our curated collections, we offer fully customized wedding experiences tailored to your vision, timeline, and traditions. Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement, a multi-day cultural celebration, or something entirely unique, we’ll work closely with you to design coverage that feels thoughtful, seamless, and true to your story.
Custom options may include flexible coverage hours, multi-day events, additional photographers, fine-art albums, engagement sessions, pre-wedding planning support, and bespoke keepsakes, crafted with the same level of care and intention as every Velara experience. Fill out our contact form, and we’ll create a custom package designed just for you.
“You didn’t just take pictures, you told our story. From the quiet, tender moments to the wild dance floor energy, every shot is filled with life. The team was warm, professional, and made us feel completely at ease. We’re so grateful to have these memories preserved so beautifully.”

Absolutely! We love traveling for weddings and are always excited to capture love stories in new locations. Whether it’s a dreamy countryside elopement, a downtown city celebration, or a destination wedding abroad.
Travel within Ontario is included in all our packages. For weddings outside this area, travel fees may apply depending on the location and logistics (e.g. transportation, accommodation). We’ll always be upfront about any additional costs during the booking process.
No matter where your wedding takes place, we’re ready to pack our bags and document your day with the same energy, attention to detail, and passion as if it were in our own backyard.
You’ll receive a handful of sneak peek images within 48 hours of your wedding—perfect for sharing with loved ones and reliving those first magical moments.
Your full gallery will be delivered within 6 to 8 weeks. Every image is carefully edited with attention to detail, so you get a polished, meaningful collection that tells the full story of your day.
I’ve been photographing weddings professionally for over 5 years and in that time, I’ve had the joy of capturing love stories of all kinds. From intimate elopements to large, multi-day celebrations, each wedding has helped shape the way I tell stories through my lens.
You can expect to receive approximately 600–800 carefully edited, high-resolution photos from your wedding day. Every image you receive is hand-edited to reflect the true mood and beauty of your celebration. No batch edits or duplicates.
We don’t believe in limiting moments, so while the final number may vary slightly depending on the flow of the day and the events covered, our focus is always on delivering a full and meaningful story of your wedding from start to finish.
No, we do not provide raw images. Raw files are unedited and don’t reflect the polished, finished look that we carefully craft through our editing process.
You’ll receive beautifully edited, high-quality images that showcase your wedding day in the best possible light, ready to print, share, and cherish forever.
We book on a rolling basis and take on a limited number of weddings each year to give every couple the attention they deserve. If you have a date in mind, it’s best to reach out as early as possible to secure it, some dates fill up quicker than others, especially during peak seasons.
Whenever you're ready, we would love to hear from you!
We come fully prepared with backup cameras, extra lenses, batteries, and memory cards to ensure everything runs smoothly, no matter what. Our gear is carefully maintained and tested so that if any technical issue arises, we can quickly adapt without missing a moment.Beyond equipment, experience teaches us to stay calm and flexible, so you can trust we’ll handle any surprises professionally, letting you focus on enjoying your day.
We believe every love story deserves more than a photoshoot. It deserves attention, intention, and care. That’s why we only work with a limited number of couples each year. This allows us to slow down, listen closely, and create an experience that’s just as meaningful as the images themselves.We are here to make sure you feel seen, supported, and celebrated in every frame.
If you feel connected to our work, we’d be honored to hear your story. Reach out and let’s start dreaming together.
