It’s Snow business for wimps - Maz does Snow photography

It’s Snow business for wimps - Maz does Snow photography 

 

Whilst most people would choose to stay in during cold and snowy weather – Maz decided to pick up his camera and have fun taking some stunning classical portraits in the snow and contemporary snow images. His very brave sitters, were seriously cold but they loved every minute of the shoot and the images look like they really enjoyed their experience of being photographed by Maz. Pre-wedding portraits are great in different terrains and this weather is really atmospheric for couples photography in the snow weather it is brides in the snow of couples in the snow!

Leena and Chris at their wedding on 12th August at Chesford Grange Hotel in Kenilworth

Leena and Chris at their wedding on 12th August at Chesford Grange Hotel in Kenilworth

Maz of Leicester Photography Team had a great day with Leena and Chris at their wedding on 12th August at Chesford Grange Hotel in Kenilworth. They decided to host a really private wedding with 150 guests.
Leena had a civil wedding in the morning where she looked a million dollars in her wedding gown. Make up and styling was by Jawaad with input from Leena as she knew exactly how she wanted to look. By sharp contrast, Leena wanted a really traditional look for the wedding and opted for a moghul Jodha Akhbar style look. Her mandap created by Maz Events  Team was our beautiful Devdas mandap with carved wall and curtains. The look was rich and royal!
The evening look again was modern, fresh and contemporary to suit a casual but modern reception. As always Leena and Chris  looked amazing – another transformation from day to evening!
Itihaas delivered the catering at Chesford Grange and it was a banquet of fusion foods that all tasted so different and looked so good that you did not want to eat it!!

Leena chose colours and themes for entire day really carefully to reflect the mood and simplicity and we think that every single selection was just perfect.
We wish that all readers of our blog met Leena – she is the happiest, cheerful person we know and she certainly made the Maz of Leicester Team smile. Thank you for booking us.

Mandy Sanghera 'big' wedding at Bingly hall in Birmingham

Mandy Sanghera 'big' wedding at Bingly hall in Birmingham

When Mandy Sanghera decided to book Maz of Leicester for her wedding decor at Bingly hall in Birmingham, she stated that the wedding would be big. But 150 tables, over 1500 guests, 2000 peacock feathers, 10000 metres of crystals is seriously big and another amazing challenge for the Maz events team. A superb team came together to make Mandy's white and peacock dream come true. A stunning combination that sparkled and wowed guests. The top table backdrop was our candlewall backdrop which created the stunning clean and contemporary canvas for the rest of the event.

To add to the drama our Bhangra bot payed a visit along with the petal arch which was used in the entrance. Our petal fairies showered guests with petals as they entered in amazement of the sheer size and sparkle of the event. We thank the Sanghera family for their cooperation and for choosing Maz of Leicester for their reception decor.

The rain did not stop our brides this weekend having the most magical romantic settings

The rain did not stop our brides this weekend having the most magical romantic settings

The rain did not stop our brides this weekend having the most magical romantic settings and as always the Maz of Leicester Team were at hand to ensure our brides got the weddings that they deserved. This wet weekend we were at Chesford Grange hotel near Kenilworth for the wedding of Paula Pal to Satish. She chose a very unique floral mandap for the traditional Indian wedding. The floral mandap worked really beautifully with our crystal garland mandap. The creams and off whites of the mandap worked beautifully with pale pinks, dark pinks and ivories in the flowers. Paula wanted a simple but elegant look and chose not to have any walkway with pillars. instead, she wanted a 360 degree view of her mandap with the guest focus on her mandap, flowers and floral chandelier in her mandap - and of course themselves!

We loved her minimal understated taste and on this occasion the less is more approach worked perfectly!

Congratulations and thank you for booking Maz of Leicester for your mandap.

Professional Graduation Photography makes sense

Professional Graduation Photography makes sense

As with many important life moments, many people are choosing to photograph their child’s graduation themselves with a portable camera or camera phone. Others choose to queue up for the  university photographer like a doctor’s surgery, the photographers will snap away in set poses whilst other frustrated parents watch as they wait for their go. What they do not realize, nonetheless, is the perhaps rueful and even disastrous consequence it could cause the lifelong recollection of one of the most important event in a one’s life.

Many people are reluctant to make the effort or spare money on professional photography studios for a graduation portrait thinking that it will save them money and give stunning results.

PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST - Every bride wants to look like a work of art. Every bride wants Maz Mashru

Recognised as one of UK’s leading wedding and portrait photographers, the Maz brand has become a household name. Twice awarded Photographer of the Year, with a distinguished career spanning 45 years, Maz has captured the likes of stars such as Aishwarya Rai, Shilpa Shetty, Ajay Devgan, Saif Ali Khan and Hritik Roshan, through to leading figures such as the late Princess Diana and Prime Ministers Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. Last year he was honoured at the House of Commons for his Photographer of the Year title and has also been presented with a special Lifetime Achievement award, presented by politician Jack Straw. It’s fair to say – Maz and his team will make you look every inch the celebrity!

A Maz wedding has become something of a prestigious quality symbol; adding to the value of the day and universally recognised not only by the couples who choose Maz, but also by the luxe hotel and high-profile catering organisations the group works with. Never one to rest on his laurels, Maz lives by the belief that his finest work is yet to be shot. This philosophy that ‘you are only as good as your next picture’ is one that is instilled into all the photographers trained by Maz to ensure the attitude remains fresh, and his strict ethics of creativity and quality is at the forefront of their minds.

‘Photography is an art and art, when visualised, becomes distinctive,’ explains Maz. ‘My work is distinctive because at heart it’s classical.’ Inspired by Impressionist painters such as Monet and Degas, and the Baroque techniques of Rembrandt, Maz set about trying to translate the beauty that lay in the heart of each of their masterpieces into his photography, but also learned a valuable lesson about true artisty along the way. He reveals: ‘For all these great artists, money was never their end game. Many of the greatest artists all died poor. Whilst I have to feed myself, my passion for perfection is such that I’m regularly found reproducing work several times, until I am happy that I am giving the best to my customer.’ Put simply, Maz says: ‘Whilst this is not always commercially viable, the way I see it – my customers are only getting married once, and that once has to be perfect.’

Rita Chandarana, of Maz Photography, adds: ‘Every bride is very individual to our team and we completely submerge ourselves in her world to make it as she wishes.

‘Our team has been committed to providing great creativity and excellence in everything we do for many years. That commitment continues as we revitalise our brand on all fronts with the launch of highly imaginative, stunning idea’s –staying true to the Maz heritage. After being in business for more than 45 years, much has changed at our company, but our commitment to quality, excellence and being a trusted brand remains the same in all aspects of our business.’

But don’t just take their word for it. Take a look at the iconic images Maz has captured over the years on his website, particularly the section headed ‘Faces’ which highlights some of the top celebrities and dignitaries that he has photographed over the years. Then decide for yourself whether you deserve to look every bit as picture perfect yourself. You can trust Maz Photography to say the answer is a resounding ‘yes’.
