Our Style

Real Moments, Beautifully Told

01

Candid, Not Posed

We guide moments rather than manufacture them. Real laughter, genuine tears, the unscripted glances you didn't know anyone saw. We'll never ask you to fake an emotion.

Editorial, Timeless Portraits

For portraits we step in with light direction: where to stand, where to look, when to breathe. Clean, elegant images that still look like you in twenty years.

Cinematic By Nature

Photo or film, everything we make is driven by story: light, emotion and pacing. Our films are edited like short films, not slideshows.

Every Tradition, Honored

Hindu, Nigerian, Haitian, Greek, Chinese, Jewish and many more. We research your traditions in advance and coordinate with your families so no ritual is missed.

On Your Wedding Day

How We Work

Calm & Unobtrusive

We're not the crew that shouts directions. We're the ones in the corner catching the glance your grandmother gives you during your vows.

One Coordinated Team

Photo and film work as one team, not two vendors competing for the same angle. One plan, one timeline, one point of contact.

You Stay Present

We handle everything in our lane so you can be fully present in yours. You should be living your day, not managing it.

Prepared For Anything

Backup cameras, lenses and memory cards at every wedding, and a second shooter recommended for full-day and photo + video coverage.

Mir Sabiry, founder of RF Studios, photographing a wedding reception
Founder · Creative Director

Mir Sabiry

Mir Sabiry founded RF Studios in 2016 on one belief: your wedding day is the most important story you'll ever live, and it deserves to be captured like one. Not just documented. Told.

Raised in New York and drawn to film and photography from an early age, Mir found a calling at the first wedding behind the camera: the emotion in the room, the unscripted moments, the love in every corner of the space.

Ten years in, with more than 200 weddings every year, RF Studios is a team of photographers and filmmakers who work the way Mir always has, building every wedding around the trust earned in the very first conversation. Mir still leads the creative direction behind every wedding we take on.

Our approach is calm, unobtrusive, and deeply intentional. We're not the crew that shouts directions or rushes you through a shot list. We're the ones in the corner catching the glance your grandmother gives you during your vows.

What You Can Count On

Reliability, Built In

🎒

Backed Up, Always

Every wedding is shot with backup cameras, lenses, and memory cards on hand, so a single piece of gear failing never puts your coverage at risk.

📸

Second Shooters, When It Counts

Recommended for full-day weddings and photo + video coverage, so more angles and moments get caught as they happen.

🤝

You're Never Left Without Coverage

If a member of your team can't be there, a trusted backup photographer or videographer steps in.

⚡

We Respond Fast

Most inquiries hear back the same day, always within 24 to 48 hours at most.
