Anas Zahid

the profile

Anas Zahid is a wedding photographer based in Marrakech, and I want to be straight with you from the start: he is one of the newer, more affordable, and less proven names in our directory, and that shapes everything about how you should approach him. He works in a documentary, candid, natural-light style, the kind of coverage that catches real moments in real daylight rather than a day of stiff, posed set-ups, which suits the courtyards, gardens, and golden Marrakech light very well when it is done right. He shoots in Arabic, English, and French, which genuinely matters at a Moroccan wedding where the family speaks one language and half the guests flew in speaking another. His portfolio on MyWed shows more than 40 images and a couple of full wedding stories, and his profile is active. He was online within the hour when I last checked. The pricing is the clearest reason to consider him, because it is refreshingly transparent and genuinely low for full-day coverage. His published packages run in tiers: around 740 US dollars for 6 hours, 855 dollars for 8 hours, and 1,025 dollars for 10 hours, which works out to roughly 700 to 950 euros for a whole wedding day. In our directory his range sits between 1,500 and 2,800, and either way this is budget to mid-market territory, well below the established Marrakech names who charge two or three times as much. You reach him directly on +212 621 313 387, and he lists his own site at anaszahid.com alongside the MyWed profile. What a couple gets, on paper, is affordable, trilingual, local documentary coverage tiered simply by the number of hours you need, delivered as an online gallery. For a couple on a real budget, or for a smaller and simpler celebration where photography matters but is not the single biggest line in the plan, that is a proposition worth a proper look. Now the honest caveat, and for this vendor it is the whole ballgame. Anas is new and largely unproven. He has been on MyWed for only about a year, carries a very small following there, and has no awards, Editors' Choice features, or best-of listings to point to, which is normal for someone early in the trade but is not the reassurance an established photographer gives you. I could not open his own website when I checked it, and I could not find an active Instagram to browse, which for a wedding photographer is unusual and worth a direct question. The 7.2 rating in our directory is the lowest of the local photographers we list, and it is honest: promising and inexpensive, not yet a safe blind booking for a day you cannot redo. So if you are drawn to the price, do the vetting properly before you sign anything. Ask to see two or three complete real wedding galleries from start to finish, not just a highlight reel of 40 frames, and confirm they are paid client weddings he shot as the lead, not second-shooting or unpaid styled tests. Ask directly whether he carries backup camera bodies and dual memory cards on the day, because a single equipment failure with no backup is the one mistake that cannot be repaired afterward. Pin down the exact deliverables in writing: how many edited images, whether a second shooter is available and at what cost, and how many weeks until the gallery lands. Meet him on a video call, see that his site is actually live, and trust your read of the person. Do all of that, and Anas Zahid can be a smart-value choice for the right budget-minded couple. Skip it, and you are gambling your only photos on someone you never really checked.
