any suggestions willl be really appreciative.

Afzal's service has gone down the drain so unless n until u can make sure they listen to what u ask of, i wouldnt recommend them. But yes their work is good and we have gotten 3 weddings covered by them but the last one was disappointing.

Dnt know abt the others. Just a suggestion, try and get two diff photographers meaning if u take afzl make sure the groom side takes some other so that God forbid if one messes up u can always have the other video with u.

also, if you google for Nadeem Khawar, you can see his work, he was the one who did my wedding photography and did an awesome bridal photoshoot

Afzl use to be very good...bt i think they have nt been able to deal with an overload of work cuz they get alot of orders. But i think that shud mean they only expand and be more professional but they r far from it.

Re: Shahnawaz or Afzal? who's best for makeup??

whats his contact number? and his price range?

Re: Shahnawaz or Afzal? who's best for makeup??

hi every 1 !!!!

i saw afzl's recent work .... dey were gud b4 but not now dnt knw da reason...
my sis had hired dem in dec 2009 n dey did FAB job dey did everything v want it 2 b ... pix were awesome but dey runined her video so i sat wid dem in dere studio 2 make it da way v wanted n at da end it was really gud ... dey were so friendly 2 change da entire video of our choice but had 2 struggle by urself means find songs , fit dem wid da scene and everything.. how 2 start / end da movie and many more but da albums were outstanding i was really impressed
BUT
i had my engagment function in feb 2010 dey said dey ll sent dere most experienced photographers & videographer but da prob was da pictures were jst ok it didnt had any WOW factor in pix n da movie was captured nicely and dey adjusted a v.nyc title in my video but da rest video was jst ok
NOW
I m also confused 2 hire dem 4 my wedding or not coz da pix didnt came out tht gud n u ve 2 struggle alot 4 finding songs 4 urself .... instead u pay same amount 2 sme other studio n dey can do everything by dere selves .

my cousin and i were in lahore for her wedding makeup wise she used allenora for her mendhi and got a very light look and it was really pretty but i think the base wasn't as nice as it was from ather shahzad on the wedding day and i just loved the way he worked her colors into the makeup. i'm sure she will come on here and talk about her experience bc she's a member and bc she had a terrible experience at allenora's. they were quite rude.

Re: Shahnawaz or Afzal? who's best for makeup??

Ather Shahzad are the best...there is no doubt but there are also plenty others like Madeeha's who do a decent job for fraction of the price.

Re: Shahnawaz or Afzal? who's best for makeup??

sweet_lil_honey & kairophoto i ll b getting married in 2011 and i m considering ather shehzad for my makeup ... i read alot of threads abt makeup but non of dem has praised his work in red color as my dress color ll b deep red so plz tell me ur experiences of ather shehzad in red color ????
plz post any pics of his red real brides if u ve any ....

Re: Shahnawaz or Afzal? who's best for makeup??

thank u guys for posting all these up
this is so confusing seems like everybody pretty much messes up with red color
i heard that madeeha's r not good with red colors but i have liked them better than allenora's
athar shahzad is good too but he sounds pretty expensive 70+k ----if u wannna pay that much

Re: Shahnawaz or Afzal? who's best for makeup??
