Accent Photographics

Shuva with Accent Photographics was great to work with. She was quick to respond to emails and was so helpful through the whole process! She made with us to make sure we had a list of all the pictures we would need. Although she was great with the lead up to the wedding and the preparation, it was the day of where she really shined. The pictures went quick and were so organized. She made all of us feel so comfortable and the pictures turned out fantastic!

We could not have hoped for a better photographer than Shuva! She is incredibly friendly and has a genuine passion for her work that shines through her photos. The photos of our big day perfectly captured our personalities, our friends and family, and created a story of not only our wedding day but our relationship. Shuva's wedding package was by far the best value we found of any professional photographers. In addition to shooting over 10 hours at our wedding, Shuva's package included an engagement photo shoot which allowed us to meet and get to know Shuva months before the wedding. By the wedding day we were so comfortable with her that we could truly be ourselves and capture true moments rather than poses. With our package, we still have a photo shoot left checking in on us after the wedding. We are looking forward to it and are so happy we chose Shuva to be our photographer! Her passion to capture true moments in her photos create more personal sessions to the point that Shuva became more than our photographer and grew to be a friend.

Shuva is wonderful!! She knows how to get the pictures without making your feel like you are being photographed. We love our engagement and wedding pictures.

Shuva has a knack for catching the perfect moments. They look completely natural, not like a pose. She's wonderful to work with, I wouldn't use any one else.

Shuva is amazing. Every time I look at my photos I feel like I'm there again. That's how great she is at really capturing your day.
I also loved that she wasn't too much in your "space". She got great shots and I didn't even know that she was there.
She truly is an artist and still months later I have friends and family telling me how great the photos are.
You don't want to miss out on Shuva and her amazing talent.

Shuva Rahim of Accent Photographics is an outstanding photographer. She takes beautiful photos and turns them in to high-quality prints, albums, and disc sets. She is full of wedding planning advice, is easy to get in touch with, and has a great website and blog. I would say her wedding packages are the best value in the area for the quality and quantity you receive.

My husband and I could not be more pleased with our photos, albums, and the whole process of working with Shuva. We would highly recommend her to anyone!!

Shuva is the best! The photos from our special day (and our wedding photo book) blew my mind. They were of great quality, unique, plus they represented our day perfectly! Shuva not only has extraordinary skills, but she is organized, on time, and professional. I will recommend her to any couple!

Because Shuva comes from a documentary background, I felt like our wedding was truly documented...not posed for. Your wedding day is the last day you want to be hassled with: "Go over there! Can you do that again? Wait, wait...just a second!" Instead, Shuva lets you enjoy the day you've designed and anticipated. She uses her experience and talent to recognize and capture each priceless photographic moment...and you don't have to do anything but enjoy yourself.

Accent Photographics' owner and photographer Shuva Rahim is as warm as she is professional. After another photographer showed signs of being unreliable in the weeks prior to my wedding, I contacted Shuva, who managed to work a destination wedding into her schedule on short notice. Not only is she a pleasure to know, her skill in managing the complexities of wedding photography, including making everyone feel comfortable, is second to none. Her work also reflects a keen eye for capturing moments, which is no doubt due to her unique background in journalism and documentary work. Perhaps most important of all, Shuva's integrity and devotion to her work inspire trust in her clients, which is critical for any bride throughout this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

If I had to pick one vendor that I would say is a must for weddings in eastern Iowa, I would say Accent Photographics! Hiring Shuva as our photographer was the best "vendor" decision I made! Her pictures are magical - in the sense that they somehow transport you back to exactly what was happening at the moment she captured them. She has the ability to find angles and lighting that I would never recognize and use them to capture beautiful depictions of some of the most special moments of your life. She is approachable and funny, easy to work with, and just genuinely a good person... her creative talents stand out in her field. The pictures she took would have been treasures enough, but she also adds so many neat little "extras" for her clients... blogging about your day, setting your pictures to the music of your first dance, thank you cards with a photo of the couple for people to take away from the wedding/reception, a personalized sign-in book made from engagement photos, a crazy photobooth at the wedding for everyone to get in on the fun. And the list goes on... truly! There is so much more I could say about her, but the best thing I can tell you is to look at her website -www.accentphotographics.com - and contact her for a consultation. I "made" the wedding happen (with all of the details and planning from my own visions), but she allowed me to carry it forward and keep the experience/feeling of it alive in her photographs!

Shuva was extremely helpful and always patient. It was very important to both my husband and I that for our wedding we didn’t just have a photographer, that we had a photo journalist which could document our wonderful moments and turn them into a wonderful story. Shuva did just that! She captured every moment of the day turning it into a wonderful story told through pictures. It was also another requirement that we had two photographers in order to capture each of us getting ready and capture the entire day from many angles. I was very impressed at the great lengths Shuva went to in order to insure we had a second photographer. Our wedding was over Labor Day weekend and apparently almost every photographer from the Quad Cities to Peoria was booked up, however, Shuva made it happen. The amount of extras that we received with the price we paid was shocking to my husband and I and everyone we told. From the Crazybooth which was a big hit at the wedding to a wonderful coffee table book telling the story of our wedding through pictures, to all the little extras she include, there was absolutely no questions in my mind, Shuva was the one who would be doing our wedding. Shuva was always very organized, prompt, attentive, patient, and always tried her best to meet every expectation we had. I absolutely do recommend Shuva to anyone I hear looking for a photographer.

Shuva did an amazing job documenting our wedding day through beautiful pictures. She is an amazing person and really understands how to showcase your special day!

I can't say enough about the positive experience and beautiful work by Accent Photographics!! Anytime I had questions I received a response RIGHT away, I was guided through all the processes step by step, and she took any special requests for pictures happily and ran with the ideas to make them great! I barely remember anything from our wedding because it seems such a blur now, but Shuva captured everything so beautifully. We feel very lucky to have had her for both engagement and wedding pictures! We also got our pictures back for both sessions and got to see them WAY before any of my other friends did for their weddings.

Shuva at Accent Photographics truly goes the extra mile for her clients. The excellence in customer service sets Accent Photographics appart and does not stop at the close of your wedding day. She will continue to offer her same professionalism and quick response time long after your wedding day to put together the perfect album for you to treasure! The quality of photographs that she offers are a true value for the price of her inclusive package. Shuva will go above and beyond traditional photography to document the unique qualities of your wedding day and truly capture the essence of your love story.

Shuva was wonderful to work with. She shot our engagement and wedding last year. I LOVED all the pictures and had a difficult time deciding which ones to order. She is always professional. We found her very easy to work with and did not mind taking certain pictures. She recently came to our house for a newborn shoot and did her usual amazing work. We know we will be using her again for more family pictures.

I would highly recommend Shuva, to anyone looking for amazing photographs. She is very good at what she does and creates amazing photographs. I wish we would of had more time so she could of shot photos of my husband and I all day! I do suggest asking for specific shots because I'm missing some shots that I really wish she would of taken.

I highly reccommend Accent Photographics for any photography needs.

I have recommended Shuva, Accent Photographics to friends that are Brides To Be. She has a very creative eye and she has the ability to add a personal touch, while being a 'fly on the wall' during the big day. I felt that we 'befriended' her during the whole process!

Shuva did our trash the dress shoot and the professional photos for all the employees in our company. Every time we've worked with her has been a fantastic experience. She put everyone at ease, and everyone was thrilled with the results. We can't recommend her highly enough. We can't wait to do our newborn shoot with her!

I highly recommend Shuva from Accent Photographics as a wedding photographer. She has an infinite supply of creativity and professionalism, which will be clearly evident in the finished product....your wedding images.

By far one of the best photography work I have seen. Shuva is great to work with and she really put her heart into her craft. Her ability to capture the most precious moments in pictures is truly amazing. LOVE HER!!!

Shuva is so artistic!......my linens shine under her camera!......She makes each event different and captures the meaning of fabrics and colors of any decoration.
Brides spend many hours creating a theme color and Shuva makes sure that this colors are part of those memories.....
Thank you Shuva!!

Shuva is a wonderful person and a wonderful photographer! She is just a joy to work with and produces great results!

Shuva is the most amazing photographer I've ever had the pleasure of working with. My favorite thing about her is how she gets amazing photographs without being intrusive or preventing you from enjoying your day. She is worth every penny!

I cannot say enough good things about Accent Photographics! Working with Shuva is simply a pleasure and the experience and work could not be replicated by any other photographer.

Shuva is incredibly professional, yet personable and fun - she keeps things fresh and always changing. She has an extremely artistic eye and an amazing skill for blending colors, motion, dramatic landscapes & architecture, and pure human emotion together in a way that will preserve moments forever.

I would recommend Shuva to anyone looking for timeless photos, whether they are for your engagement and wedding, or your first child�s newborn pictures, for graduation, family photos, or any other special events in life.
