EXCELLENT Based on 29 reviews Posted on Caroline Fotu2025-11-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Illest Productions absolutely exceeded my expectations! They were our videographer and photographer for the Masquerade Event at Birdcage Tavern, and their professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail were unmatched. The final photos and video were absolutely stunning. The team captured every moment so beautifully, from the atmosphere and décor to the special interactions between guests. A special mention to Karan, who was incredibly attentive and quick to respond throughout the entire process. His professionalism stood out from day one. He also offered valuable advice, which I truly appreciated as this was my very first event. I was taking a huge risk, but he made the whole experience so much easier. As a vendor, he went above and beyond to support me and ensure everything ran smoothly. If you’re looking for a creative team that delivers high-quality work and genuinely cares about your vision, Illest Productions is the one. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking them again! Thanks Karan and Team.Posted on Praneet Nischal2025-11-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Illests Photography. Thank you Karan for the beautiful photos. You were very supportive and worked an extra mile to capture beautiful moments for our wedding photoshoot. 👍Posted on ranjana lal2025-10-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I honestly can't thank Karan and his wonderful team enough for the magic they created with our pregnancy shoot. Having known Karan for a while, there was never a doubt in our minds, from the very beginning of this journey, we knew he would be the one to capture these memories for us. He made the entire experience so effortless and special. The way he brought our vision to life with such creativity, patience, and attention to detail was truly incredible. They made me feel so comfortable, confident, and celebrated throughout the shoot. The final photos are everything we hoped for and more, emotional, elegant, and full of love. These are memories we’ll cherish forever, and we’re so grateful to have had Karan and Ammie be a part of it. Highly recommend him to anyone looking to capture life’s most precious moments.Posted on Sahil2025-10-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I should say He’s the best . Thank you for capturing our precious moments and make it special .I would highly recommend him for any photo shoot. Thanks again for such a great work . 🙏😊Posted on Francine Fiaui2025-08-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Where do I even start. The chaos of being unprepared on my end, last minute changes and all the pressure of the day overwhelming me, there was Karan and team’s reassurance, the ease and comfort they brought with them to carry the day. They made the rush of the morning sooth by the hour and had us enjoy every second of getting pampered and prepared for the ceremony. I had briefly laid out what I wanted a few minutes before they started their work yet they provided more than just that. Watching them move around non stop capturing and making sure to not miss a single moment had me relaxed the whole time. They were on their feet the whole day yet not a single frown or a single look of discomfort. They always looked like they wanted to be there to capture our big day and there’s nothing more comforting than that. After our big day was the wait, and I tell you … worth EVERY excitement counting down to the release of our photos and highlight video. The photos were breathtaking, the memory of the moment captured so beautifully had me teary everytime I’d scroll through the album. I am so grateful that they captured moments I can carry with me forever. Every time I watch our wedding highlight video, I am reminded of our favourite day all over again. I made no mistake choosing Illest Production. I mean everything is just amazing, their service, the quality of their work, their dedication to perfection and most of all the atmosphere they bring.. I highly recommend them for any occasion, they will NOT disappoint. Sincerely Ari and FrancinePosted on Fiapito Tauai2025-05-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
