Milad (Born Pacific) is not only a talented photographer, he is an excellent person to be around. His energy is infectious, and he will make you laugh, but he also knows how to draw out and capture the depth of your love. Milad shot our elopement on the Oregon coast, and I can't imagine anyone else having been there to share in that intimacy. He even hopped into the frigid Pacific to make us look magazine-quality amazing as waves were crashing over us! Thanks again, Milad!

Honestly I can’t even explain how Milad went above and beyond for us, from the wedding dates changing to locations, to a huge wedding party- he kept us calm and made us feel so comfortable. We had the most amazing experience and his technique is impeccable. We would recommend him to anyone who asked us. He did 2 other friends weddings and all would say the same. The pictures speak for themselves!!!! Also he is an amazing person, we celebrated with a shot to end the wedding! Thank you again Milad!

When we selected Milad as our photographer for our engagement shoot, I had zero hesitation because I had seen his work and was already in love with it. Milad is prompt, responsive, talented, energetic, professional, fun, and so patient. The day of our engagement shoot, it started to rain and I thought with my hair and our clothes all wet, there is no way we’re going to end up with pictures that I’d like. But not only he managed to take some of the most spectacular pictures that I’m so in love with, he used the rain to our advantage because somehow rain played a beautiful role in our pictures. Working with Milad was a dream, not just because of the amazing pictures we received, but the day of the shoot, we had an incredible time. I can’t wait to work with Milad again for our wedding. Thank you so much for being so talented and all your hard work, Milad!

Milad has unrivaled photographic ability, a very positive disposition, and a genuine and strong drive to ensure that the wedding day and resulting memories are perfect. From the initial conversation and engagement photos to the wedding day, Milad never failed to exceed expectations. On the wedding day itself, Milad was rushing around alongside the rest of us, analyzing all angles and getting shots that would have never crossed our minds. Milad transcended the duties and expectations of a normal wedding photography and ultimately became one of the key figures responsible for pulling off our wedding day. On such a momentous and complicated occasion, we can’t help but be so thankful.

We first experienced Milad's amazing talent and personality at my sister's wedding. I don't know how she found him, but we are so happy she did. Once we saw the photos he captured during her wedding, we knew we needed him as our photographer. He exceeded our already high expectations. We expected a lot of rain during our wedding, which definitely happened. However, in the small window of clear skies Milad captured some great moments of just the two of us along a dock that I was really hoping to get photos with. These photos came out amazing! He was very flexible with us and took advantage of every photo opportunity he could. He made sure to get all the photos we wanted on our list as well as ones we didn't think of until we were in the moment. We highly recommend using Milad as your photographer. He will capture all the amazing moments of your wedding in a way that will make you relive it over again and again every time you look at the photos. Also, don't forget that you have a...

For some reason our speeches were a little embarrassing at times and Milad did an amazing job capturing our reactions.

Milad is an amazing person and photographer. He has such an eye for photography and really catches the excitement, emotions and energy of the room. We are so happy with the photos that we received and highly recommend him to any person looking for a great photographer with a huge heart and amazing personality!

I don't even know where to begin. Having Milad photograph our wedding was nothing short of amazing. From the very 1st time I spoke with him I could tell he was so passionate about what he does, he cares and it's evident in his work. He captured every moment so perfectly and was a joy to have at our wedding as a photographer and honestly a friend. Seriously, you won't find any better than Milad.

We were lucky enough to have Milad for 2 days! He was so great to work with, and always responded to emails/texts the same day or the next day. When I look at our wedding photos, I am so thankful for him! He captures every moment and all the little details.

When searching for a photographer for our wedding, browsing through Instagram profiles admiring peoples work, I stumbled upon @bornpacific through a friend of my hometown. Milad’s aesthetic was exactly what we were looking for. It wasn’t just his Instagram profile that we fell in love with, it was all solidified when we drove 4 hours down to Pacific City, Oregon for our engagement shoot, with a pit stop in Downtown PDX to pick Milad up. Milad is the coolest, who remembers a birthday of someone they’ve never even met and greets them with a birthday gift?! From then on, I knew we were in good hands. Milad’s work ethic, his punctuality, his talent/skill level as well as his ability to keep it professional while making you feel like a friend are unmatched. He made us feel at ease and comfortable throughout the journey at what is sometimes a major time of stress for some people. We could never thank him enough for the amount of work he put into our wedding day. It was everything we ... Read moredreamed of + more! Each and every photo he captured brought me back to that very moment of the most special day of my life and that, that is priceless. Thank you, Milad! You will always hold a spot in our hearts.

We had an amazing experience with Milad while taking our engagement photos. He is an amazing communicator and spent so much time with us as we decided what look we wanted for our engagement photos. Then, we spent the whole day together looking for the perfect spot. He was so patient and fun; the whole day felt like an adventure with friends rather than a customer/vendor transaction. By the end of our day, we felt like we had gained a friend (and some amazing photos, too!). We're so happy we went with Born Pacific for our engagement photos.

Milad is a dream come true. It was really important to us that our engagement and wedding photos look and feel natural. Milad’s photography style evokes a feeling of home, of intimacy, and romance. Milad is not only an incredible artist who takes his work seriously, is easy to communicate with, and edits and sends photos in a timely manner, but he is a wonderful, genuine person who makes everyone around him feel beautiful, loved, and part of the experience. Not only did we love working with Milad, but he was adored and appreciated by all our family and friends. We highly recommend Milad to anyone looking for a photographer, an artist, a friend, or dance partner.

Working with Milad felt easy and natural from the first time we met up with him. Milad captured some amazing photos for our engagement shoot and also shot our wedding. He is so personable and genuine and never stopped working hard and smiling on our wedding day even though he was super jet lagged. Many of our family members commented on how nice he is, who h really helped put them at ease. Of course we get tons of compliments on our photos, Milad has a natural eye for capturing those candid moments that really reflect the emotion of the moment.

WOW!! There are not enough words to describe how highly we would recommend Milad! He is guaranteed to go the extra mile to get the perfect shot and provides endless entertainment throughout the day which makes everyone feel relaxed. From before we got engaged we decided that he would be the only person to shoot our wedding but we were not prepared for how incredible our photos were turn out. We received our images only a few weeks after our wedding (in peak wedding season) and we literally love every single one! There are few photographers who can capture personalities and portray them in beautiful images and Milad is one of them!

Milad was the very first vendor we booked! Looking at his portfolio, we loved his eye for composition and, even more importantly, his ability to capture candid, natural photos. From our very first meeting, it was like having coffee with an old friend, and his fun and easy-going personality ultimately made us way more comfortable in front of the camera (along with the Rainiers he brought to our engagement shoot!). For those who aren’t natural models, Milad is very good at providing instruction to get flattering photos that don’t seem overly stiff or unnatural. He’s also an expert at finding great locations: we did our engagement shoot in the woods / a field, and our wedding was in an industrial area, and both sets of photos came out looking so unique and beautiful! The day of the wedding, he dealt with some scheduling delays like a champ -- I was running late to my first look, and he handled all the communication with my fiance, and even drove me to the location to keep thi... Read morengs running smoothly! He was great at getting groups corralled for formal pictures, and several of our guests even commented on how nice he was at the reception. We got some “sneak peek” photos just 4 days after our wedding, which were SO appreciated to tide us over for the full gallery. At once that came, it blew us away! There weren’t just a few good shots; we were hard-pressed to even choose favorites. He curated the gallery with care so we weren’t scrolling through 18 versions of the exact same shot, and the final product perfectly captured all the love and fun and laughter of that day. We can’t recommend Milad enough!!
