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!

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!!

I don't feel like my words can ever do justice to just how incredible Milad is as a photographer and even moreso as a person. When we first got engaged, I, like thousands of others, read through hundreds of wedding articles and took to heart that your photographer is the one thing you want to consider carefully for your wedding and yet I still ended up contacting just one photographer, my very first vendor (even before we chose our date or venue, rookie move but it worked out). That's just how great he is. From the first response Milad sent me, I felt like more of a friend than a client. He is always timely, huge on communication, incredibly patient, precise with his camera work, and most of all, he has so much passion for what he does, which absolutely shows in his work. He's so great at capturing one of the most important days of your life that even as I was looking through his portfolio, I felt like I was at every wedding experiencing every moment. That's what we wanted and ... Read morethat's exactly what we got. We trusted Milad to help us choose locations for both our engagement and first look. (Sidenote: please please please opt for engagement photos, you don't want to miss an opportunity to meet him before your wedding!) He worked tirelessly the entire day of our wedding, even doing research the day before to find the perfect shots. He kept great time, didn't let me stress about anything, and meshed so well with our family and friends. Before the end of the night, he was a part of the family. He goes above and beyond to get the perfect shot and to make your day the most memorable. Honestly he was a ninja, I hardly knew he was there but he was just clicking away and captured every moment of the day. He is a master at his craft, the most genuine soul you'll ever come to meet, and his work speaks for itself. My husband and I are so humbled to have met such an incredible human and to have shared and trusted our special day with him. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Milad. You da best!

I knew our wedding pictures would be great, having followed Milad's work for a long time, but I was not prepared to be as blown away as I was. Every single photo seemed to capture the most genuine moments not only between my wife and I, but also between every one of our family and friends at the wedding. Just flipping through the pictures I could feel the genuine emotions of everyone in each picture. These are not your typical carefully-posed-and-crafted-just-to-look-pretty wedding photos, these are genuine and authentic moments that actually happened at our wedding, and that is incredibly more beautiful than anyone could have ever posed. Milad seemingly managed to capture real moments of joy, tears, and love over and over and over again throughout the day. I'm still amazed. Not only were the pictures beautiful, be he also managed to help us consistently throughout the day. He constantly put us at ease and helped to carefully guide us so that all of the pictures didn't feel like a ... Read morechore like they normally do on wedding days. He's just an overall joyful person to work with, and I could not possibly recommend him enough to everyone. You will not be disappointed at all.

My husband and I interviewed a few wedding photographers before meeting Milad. As soon as we spoke with him, we knew he was our wedding photographer! He made us instantly feel like we had been friends forever and put us at ease. Milad has a gift of capturing genuine moments instead of all of your photos looking posed and forced. If you are looking for a photographer that you can feel 100% comfortable around and capture all of the special moments on your wedding day, look no further!

Milad has an amazing eye and incredible attention to detail. Nothing was overlooked and we couldn’t be happier with our photos. He did a wonderful job of keeping us in the moment and reminding us to just relax and be genuine. He gave excellent directions and kept things light and fun. We have an awesome mix of traditional and more creative shots that will fill our home and remind us of the happiest day of our lives. Also worked well with our dogs to get some priceless family photos, this guy is a total pro.

Milad was honestly more than we could have asked for on our wedding day. Not only his professionalism, but his positive vibe, he was offering to pitch in in other ways, and was so kind and fun to be around our guests and wedding party all had wonderful things to say about him. Not to mention our pictures were beyond what we could have imagined. He captured everything that was special about our wedding and we could not have asked for more. Milad’s positive presence and professionalism on top of his talent makes him worth every penny. :)
