Overall an okay experience. We shared what we were hoping for ahead of time, but the photos didn't quite match our expectations. The angles were fine, but in some shots feet were cut off and the framing felt a bit off. Not bad, just hoped for a little more attention to detail.

We had Sameer cover our daughter’s college graduation party & it was a pleasure working with him!! To start with he was super responsive over text during the planning process. He arrived on time & was very attentive to our requests, made everyone feel super comfortable, was friendly & respectful. The final results are amazing. He will definitely be a part of all our future family events 😀

Shankar, it was sincere pleasure meeting and capturing your family in Evergreen area, San Jose. The highlight was the ducks and geese who casually wandered around all of you! Thank you for your kind and encouraging review. We hope to of future service to you, your friends & families. Sameer
Creations by Sam is an excellent photography company to work with! We have used him multiple times and he is efficient, thorough, and creative. The attention to detail is excellent and he is truly thinking about how to optimize the natural light to get the best photos. Most recently we used him to photograph an event to introduce my 4 month son, not only did he get excellent photos of the adults but he was able to get wonderful photos of 3 boys under the age of 3. And then he gave us all the photos for review within a week. I would highly recommend Creations by Sam for your photography needs.

Sameer did an incredible job capturing family photos at home after a proposal. Bringing both families together for that moment was special, and he made everyone feel comfortable from the start. The shots came out beautifully, and we will treasure them for years. Highly recommend.

Thank you Rohit. Sincerely appreciate your kind words.
Sameer did an incredible job at our daughter’s birthday party! He was so much more than just a photographer—he helped us coordinate the flow of the party, gave great advice on the setup, and was so energetic with the guests. He actually delivered our edited gallery earlier than expected. If you need someone who is professional and genuinely cares about making your event a success, definitely reach out to him!
Thank you so much for the kind words Varun. We look forward to many more events.
I highly recommend Sameer for any professional video project. He was a pleasure to work with and delivered great results. The final video turned out fantastic.

We had the absolute best experience with Creations by Sam for our engagement photo shoot. From the very beginning, communication was easy and stress-free, which made the whole process so enjoyable. Sam made us feel completely comfortable and captured our special day so beautifully—it honestly meant the world to us. The photos came back incredibly fast, and we were blown away by how stunning they turned out. You can truly feel the care and talent in every shot. We couldn’t be happier and would recommend Creations by Sam to anyone looking for meaningful, high-quality photos.

We hired Sameer Yagnik to create videos across multiple campuses and he exceeded expectations. He made our staff feel comfortable on camera, worked efficiently, and had a great eye for the moments that matter. The final videos look polished, professional, and truly represent who we are. We’re grateful for his work and would absolutely hire him again.
