ZAHRA HAIDER

As a professional documentary journalist, my expertise is in finding artful ways to share someone's authentic story. I grew up in Dallas, studied at Northwestern University, and have since reported from the halls of congress in Washington, D.C. to street protests in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Don't tell my boss -- but my favorite part of reporting truly is creating works of art with my subjects that live on long after they're posted online. My unique experiences as a photojournalist lend themselves beautifully to my role as a wedding photographer. To me, Black Iris is the perfect avenue for me to capture unique memories for people like you. If you want to learn more about my experience, you can check out my personal site here.

DANISH SHAH

Growing up in Mississippi, one thing I learned was that hard work pays off. I’ve grown experienced in small businesses and client service, so I take our clients’ journey with us very seriously. I know how important it is for you to have a responsive photo/video team, so I always make sure that Black Iris delivers a reliable client experience.

On top of that, I’m a huge fan of cinema and the arts. I’ve always been one to appreciate the finer details of a production; from lighting to editing, to composition and storytelling. Each piece brings its own features to the product, and when it comes together *chef’s kiss*. That’s what I look forward to giving back to our clients. Whether it be an ordinary day or the most important of your life, I want to bring the best possible outcome to your gallery… enough to keep you coming back.

Zahra’s passion for breathtaking photography and film, combined with Danish’s storytelling savvy and excellent client service makes us the ideal team. We started this journey by combining our experiences, knowledge, and talent, to do what we do best: seamlessly provide our clients with stunning photos and films that leave them blown away.
