Fariss is honestly the most easy going photographer I have dealt with. He makes the whole process so easy and natural even for those who are usually uncomfortable taking pictures. He fully respects the special moments and does a great job getting candid shots without getting in your way. At the same time he is super knowledgeable about helping you pose correctly afterwards. He captured some of the most unique shots I have seen and we couldn’t be happier with the results.
