My name is Hooman, and I’m based in Winston-Salem, NC. I’ve spent most of my weekends over the past 18 years traveling across North Carolina, the country, and the world photographing wedding for couples who love emotion focused candid photographs of their wedding.
Whether your wedding is around Raleigh or Durham, Charlotte, Asheville, or the Outer Banks; anywhere in the country from Florida to New York, Chicago to California, or an international destination wedding, I’ll be there to capture all the real moments, the genuine emotions, as beautiful photographs that will last you and your families for generations.
As a kid, our home was filled with art. Poetry, paintings, music, literature, and lots of old photos of relatives. I loved seeing the way they stood, or how cousins put arms around each other to pose, expressing their personality and emotions. It not only left a big impression on me, but influenced everything about my photography today.
When I was eight years old, in my hometown of Winston-Salem, NC, I built my first camera with my dad. That first camera taught me about composition, light and timing.
I received my first “real” camera, a used Nikon with one lens, as a high school graduation present. My love of photography continued through college at Wake Forest where I graduated with a degree in Physics.
During my career as a corporate pilot, I still enjoyed photography as a creative outlet. In 2005, I was asked to photograph a wedding for the first time. Three years later, I left flying to pursue wedding photography full time.
Wedding photography combined what I had been photographing my whole life: Portraits, photojournalism of events, landscape, music, and capturing the most important and elusive element of any good photo: emotion. The jubilation. The poignant moments that brought people to tears.
I still live in Winston-Salem with my family, and photograph around 45-50 weddings a year, along with some family and senior portraits.
