Sonder Film Collective

Somewhere between a photograph and a memory is where I like to work. I’m Mahbuba, the photographer behind Sonder Film Collective, a Queens-based photographer creating dreamy, romantic, filmy imagery with an editorial edge. I’m drawn to the moments you can’t quite plan. A fleeting glance, wind through a veil, hands intertwined, laughter that wasn’t meant to be photographed. My approach is candid at heart, guided when needed, and always rooted in letting things unfold naturally. I’m not here to turn your wedding into a photoshoot. I want it to feel like you, just a little more cinematic.

I believe your wedding story deserves to be experienced, not just photographed. I offer a blend of digital and analog film photography, pairing timeless imagery with the dreamy, nostalgic feeling of film. I also offer wedding content creation, capturing candid behind-the-scenes moments, social-ready clips, and reels you can relive almost instantly. Ready to tell your story? Inquire to check your date and let’s create something that feels entirely yours.
