Hi, I am Usman Baporia


Hi there! I’m a South Asian wedding photographer with over 8 years of experience as the lead photographer, and I’ve had the joy of capturing 100+ weddings, mostly across Northern California. Along with my talented team, we’re all about creating timeless, light, and airy images that highlight the warmth and love of your special day. My approach is natural and candid—I believe in capturing real moments, not overly posed ones.


Being deeply familiar with South Asian cultures, traditions, and religions, I know how important it is to honor every detail, from managing the ceremonies to handling those iconic “desi” uncle and aunty moments. Whether it’s a grand Hindu celebration or a traditional Muslim nikah, I’ve been there and love capturing it all.


Outside of photography, I’m a proud dad of two little boys who keep me on my toes. I’m also extremely bougie when it comes to dark chocolate, can nerd out watching planes for hours, and I’m a die-hard Phoenix Suns fan!


Lets connect!

Natasha + Rahil

Usman was one of the *BEST* vendors of all our wedding vendors we worked with. He is a true artist and master of his craft. The photos have blown us away. Beyond that, he was one of the sweetest, kindest and most wonderful people to work with. He always had a genuine excitement and sweet spirit, and was very flexible and very patient-- these are core qualities you will need in a wedding photographer amidst the many scenarios that play out. My mom still talks about him all the time.
