Events Capture

True professionals and quality product.
We are so glad we chose Events capture for photo and video for our engagement party. From the first time we contacted them, we were able to get all of the planning and arrangements done over e-​mails and phone calls. Their responsiveness is what I appreciate the most. They helped us stay on top of our event planning and the outcome was fantastic. Pictures turned out great and so did the album. We looked at the Video draft and our families are in love with it. We can’t wait to pick up the completed video. Big kudos to Harry and his team. Amanda was very helpful and was there every step of the way keeping us informed about the next steps. We highly recommend them for anyone looking for photography/​videography services for their weddings.

Harry’s response is quite ridiculous. In my review i never made a false accusation that I used his services. This review was simply a email conversation between me and Harry that I copied and pasted. Please read my review before even saying its fake. The purpose of this review is to show people who are considering hiring them what kind of personality the owner has. Its their decision to hire them.

Very Very good photographers and videographers … The quality of work that Harry and his team does is wonderful… couldn’t be more happy with the service that I received. They are also very understanding and patient.

Harry, his father, Aney and whole EC team were all great during our wedding and all the ceremonies we had. They even did my sisters sweet 16 which was done well ! They work with u! They are great people very down to earth. I have recommended them to my friends. they were even great then :) they do a great job ! Go EC Team ! I would recommend them to everyone doing any events !

Harry and his team are really great. Made our event very smooth from the being to the end. Received all our products on time without any hassle.

EventsCapture and Harry Pandya are so terrible that they don’t even deserve stars. BEWARE of this company and DO NOT use them.
The owner Harry is a total cheater. I used them for my wedding three years ago and made a horrible mistake in referring 4 of my friends to him. At first prior and during signing the contract he was fine. However he did not show up to our engagement shoot which he stated he would. The issues started happening after my wedding and up to a year and a half later. When you negotiate with him he promises everything and will even sweet talk you. However, he never delivered on any of the promises and was complete unprofessional in his attitude with us. From the get go I told him I chose his company because he did cinematography work and that’s what I wanted at my wedding. After our wedding I kept asking for a highlight video from him and his team and waited a year to get it. When it arrived it was just a bunch of our pictures collages together. When I confronted him about it he told me the word «cinematography» was missing from my contract. Again, from the beginning I was very open about what I wanted and he acknowledged that. But to wait 1.5 years after my wedding, 4 referrals, and countless emails back and forth to tell me I had one word missing from my contract and that’s why he didn’t bring the proper equipment to my wedding was completely unacceptable and unprofessional. I will never have those memories or day back in my life. After all that, he even had the nerve to raise his voice, mock, and argue with us. All my referrals had the same or worst issues with EC and Harry.
There are much better, more talented, reputable photographers out there. DO NOT make the mistake I did by hiring EC and Harry to photograph/​film the most important event in my life. Do NOT use EventsCapture or work with Harry Jay Pandya!

Events Capture photography was absolutely amazing! My fiancé and I met with Harry prior to the wedding and I was very impressed with his professionalism and eagerness to understand what I wanted out of my photos. He was always very responsive to email and phone questions and made sure to make contact with us closer to the event to nail down specifics of location and timing. I was so thrilled when I arrived at the venue and he was already there scouting out pictures! He did such an amazing job of posing and setting up shots so that they looked as flattering and beautiful as possible. He was very mindful of taking just the right amount of time with every group. I really appreciated his foresight into nabbing all of the natural light we could and helping us direct the timing of our photos. I had been hoping since the wedding had ended that the pictures would live up to that wonderful day, and I am very happy to say that they did just that! I found myself reliving the whole wedding and I was overwhelmed with all of the emotions he was able to capture. Not only was he amazing before the wedding and on the day, but he was able to get our pictures to us quickly and was still so interested in us and our experience. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Events Capture and I would recommend them in a heartbeat!

About three or four months before my sons first birthday party, I started looking for a photographer. After looking through some local photographers and reading online reviews, I decided to go with Events Capture. The initial interaction was with the owner, Hari. One of my main concerns about the photography service was the timely delivery of the finished product. A year prior I had an experience with a photographer with my daughters birthday where it took over 8 months to deliver a finished album and DVD. I wanted to make sure this would not happen in this case. I was guaranteed that it wouldn’t and that they have plenty of experience. After ironing out a few other details, the contract was signed and we were ready to proceed. The price of the service was not small by any means.
The day of the event, the photographers showed up before the event and had everything ready to go. They were truly the highlight of the entire experience. They were friendly and very accommodating for what I requested. Certain moments i wanted them to focus on were captured. The photographers went above and beyond their duty.
Afterwards is where things started to become interesting. We received an email from the company’s assistant and was given a timeline of when things are expected from me and when their delivery timeline is. We received all of the images within a few weeks, and I quickly selected the initial pictures for enlargements and for the album. About a month or two after we were sent the layouts that were designed by the team. The edits needed of the layouts took some time on my part. Anyone with two kids and a full time job will understand why. The process was not simple and required us to upload images we wanted replaced into a USB and mail them to Events Capture along with details instructions of where the images should be. For some reason, I could not just tell the team which pictures I wanted and where to put them.
Regarding the DVD, the information was provided including songs etc. When we received the initial copy about 6 months after the event, many of the items we requested were not done. Things as simple as adding our names to the beginning and a song sequence at the end were completely omitted. The edits were requested by me quickly after receiving the DVD.
Well long story short, it took a YEAR AFTER THE EVENT to receive the finished Album and DVD! A FULL YEAR! And they would not send anything without a $ 300 balance being paid (out of over $ 3000). The thing that irked me the most was the attitude given by the owner and the assistant. I would receive emails from the assistant when album edits were not selected that we were in violation of their timeline. Yet their timeline went out the window when it came to delivering the product.
This tells me that reviews often mean nothing. While the final product was good (not perfect), the level of service was poor. I would not use their services again and would not suggest using them. If you already have, enjoy the wait.

Harry and his team are great! Hes really friendly, and so accommodating. And to add icing to the cake, he is very talented.
We took our engagement photos in January 2014. It happened to be the coldest night of the month, but like troopers, we marched head on into it and took amazing photos. I didn’t think it was possible, but we (The Mister and I) look like beautiful ads from a magazine! Harry knew our style which is very much lovey-​dovey Bollywood. He captured the moments in the most creative settings, and scenery in the most interesting places. We’d be walking along to our next destination, and Harry will suddenly stop because he saw something. And then he’ll snap a few pictures of us dancing and twirling. Pictures came out, and BAM! Instant love affair. Oh, and did I mention that I have a fear of being in front of cameras? But Harry made it easy for me to smile… and smile big too. :D
Our families love the photos, and still compliment them to this day! We are the first to stray from the usual «in-​studio wedding photos,» so the families were not very open to the idea of «day-​of outside of studio» photos. But when they saw what Harry could do with real natural environment, they were floored. *thumbs up*
Our wedding was this past weekend, and we can’t wait to see what Harry has in store for us! Looking forward to it! =D

Terrible. Waited over 6 months to receive the video. No communication besides we will get back to you. After months of patience, I was ready to take this company to court. A week later I received the video, which was quite cheesy.
I do not recommend these guys at all. Please avoid at all costs.

We were really excited about using Events Capture for our wedding based on their previous work and referrals, and chose them in the first place because they seemed to be offering a better/​cheaper deal, but we have learned our lesson — you get what you pay for! I am really APPALLED at the organizational and staffing issues here. It seems that when an editor leaves, it is a huge process to restart the editing project as opposed to picking up where the previous editor left off… and if the secretary is out for a week or two, apparently there is no one to cover her or at least respond to emails/​phone calls/​voicemails. The secretaries are nice and do try their best to stay on top of things, but sometimes there is simply no communication until you contact EC, and then they feel the need to tell you something went wrong. Harry is incredibly incompetent and when I met with him and left him a message on Facebook, he did not seem apologetic or remorseful in any way for his or his company’s lack of professionalism, quality, or customer service. My wedding was almost 2 years ago now and I have been dealing with this ongoing headache which is taking time away from enjoying married life. Just a few of our complaints:
— We had a list of family photos to take at the church after the ceremony and some of the pictures from my side are missing… I don’t know if they weren’t taken or if they got lost but it’s really upsetting to not have family pictures for ours and our parent’s albums, especially when they are direct relatives. Pictures from my husband’s house (with his FATHER) are missing also.
— There was «miscommunication» with the team that worked on our day, so they did not have our table number cards or our posters to display at our reception… products that were in our contract and that we had paid for to be used the day of the wedding… after the wedding we have no use for them so this definitely took away from the overall personalization of our wedding.
— We sent them the songs for our DVD 2 weeks before the wedding, when they had requested them. However after the event they kept insisting that our project would be on hold until after we sent them the songs. Since they were sent in advance, it’s obvious they lost it… some organization would help this company GREATLY.
— Since they forgot our cards/​posters, Harry said they would throw in some free stuff (which was very nice of him). We asked for some extra posters and for our highlights to be uploaded on Vimeo (which seems to be the new trend nowadays, highlights are uploaded within a week after a couple’s wedding). However, after 9 months (and multiple excuses, when their timeline said the video usually takes about 45 days) we finally got our videos to proof. We had sent them an example from Vimeo of the type of video we wanted (usually a 10 minute long video that tells the story of the couple’s wedding day). What we got back was a 2 minute long video with very choppy shots put together… you can tell somebody did this in about 5 minutes… POOR QUALITY. When showing Harry another highlight video from his company that was done well, he tried to tell us that their editor was also the same editor that worked on our product. This was obviously untrue since the quality of the 2 videos was 2 different extremes. For the 3^rd revision of the highlight video, it has taken about a month to redo a 5 minute video… unacceptable. If they are really backed up they should take the initiative to explain to their clients what the reason for the delay is, instead of waiting for their clients to contact them.
