We could not of asked for anything more from Mamad for our wedding photography. From the first moment that we emailed to enquire about services we have just felt so at ease. We never once stressed or worried about the service we were getting or the pictures wed receive. We absolutely loved the work we saw on Facebook/Instagram and then again when we saw our engagement shoot. But even that didnt prepare us for our blown away we were when we received our wedding photos. It was like reliving the whole day. Thank you so much Mamad! We very much hope to be back for a family shoot one day

I would really recommend Mamad as a wedding photographer!

The questionnaire we filled out before the wedding day was very clear, and Mamad was very

Even though he was so booked and busy, he sent our album so fast and we got a ton of visual memories. We choose Twig&Wine as we loved the style of editing and mood. It was clear that Mamad tries to capture REAL moments, which we loved. My mom couldnt be on the wedding because of Covid, but she told me as she was looking at the pics, it felt like she

I cannot recommend Twig & Vine enough. I chose this photographer as I wanted something unique, different and out of the ordinary, and we got exactly that. If you're considering using this photographer, I'd suggest doing so. You won't regret it.
