That said, Union Visuals handled the situation very well and immediately replaced the photographer. They also had no problem complying with COVID protocols. As far as the photography itself, Oleg was our photographer and you could tell he was trying hard to do a good job. He showed up early to set up and did not charge us for that time. The pictures came out great and he and his assistant were very personable and easy to work with. He provided us a USB stick with our video and photographs on the timetable he provided at the beginning of our agreement. We had a pleasant experience and would recommend him!

She was easy going and kept the photography process simple and fun. She worked with our tight schedule without any stress, even when some things didn't go according to plan (ie. people not showing up at the right spot/time). We truly appreciated how prepared and creative she was, knowing what photos to take and where to take them. And whenever there was a random group photo being taken by a cell phone, she would magically appear and take an even better photo for us. Amazing! We will definitely reach out to her if we ever need photography services again. Thank you so much, Anna!

On the day of, I was nervous if things were going to fall into place, but Annie, our photographer, shared her location with me and arrived early in just the spot I wanted. She was also wonderful to work with--her photography and editing skills are great and even though we never really posed for photos before, she made it easy for us. She even had the presence of mind to turn us away from family members who were coming from behind to surprise us. We received a few photos the night of the proposal to share with friends and then the rest of the photos after a quick turnaround. We were very happy with how they turned out and appreciative of Annie's great work!

They were the first vendor we booked after securing our venue, so we got to know them over the course of the year leading up to our wedding in August 2025. After coming across their photos when researching different potential photographers that had experience at our venue, we were very interested in meeting them. We had an initial video call with them and knew immediately that we wanted to book them for such a critical part of our wedding journey. There aren't enough words to describe how skilled and professional they are--they are amazing photographers (individually and as a duo) and clearly love what they do. Our proposal photoshoot was the only prior experience we had in terms of taking professional photos as a couple. We met them in person for the first time at our engagement photoshoot--they immediately made us feel comfortable and were seriously thoughtful about the entire process, whether it was the location choices, minute-by-minute weather changes/forecast, outfit changes, etc. It really feels like they plan for everything and care about the little details. When we asked them about another vendor they would potentially work with on the day of our wedding, they even referenced notes they made when they had worked with them for a prior wedding. Throughout the whole process, they were prompt communicators (frequently responding to an email within minutes!) and guided us with experience and patience that we really appreciated. Whenever we had something to discuss with them (including choices we needed to make as a couple), they never hesitated to give us suggestions and feedback. Even if they offered an alternative suggestion to an idea of ours, it always felt like they genuinely cared and they wanted what we wanted, and it never felt like criticism. We received our wedding photos just about 2 months after our wedding, and we love every single one of them (all 667)! They are truly the best photographers to work with and just lovely people to be around. We definitely plan to keep in touch with them for future photoshoots! :) TL;DR: You should have booked A Tale Ahead Photography yesterday!!

If you're looking for a wedding photographer in the Bay Area, we cannot recommend Toan Photography…read moreenough! We absolutely loved working with Toan and his team. From the very beginning, they were incredibly knowledgeable, talented, professional, and genuinely easy to work with. Planning a DIY wedding comes with plenty of stress, but Toan was hands down our easiest and favorite vendor throughout the entire process. Neither of us is naturally comfortable in front of a camera, but Toan has an incredible eye and knows exactly how to direct and pose you. He gave us simple, clear guidance that made us feel relaxed and confident, and somehow made even the least photogenic person look like a natural model. The entire experience felt fun instead of awkward. His photography speaks for itself. The photos are absolutely stunning and capture every moment so beautifully. His work is so strong that the images barely need any editing--they're timeless, natural, and simply breathtaking. Every photo feels like a work of art, and we know we'll treasure them for the rest of our lives. We also really appreciated how honest, flexible, and accommodating Toan was throughout the process. He frequently offered packages and special deals, which we were incredibly grateful for. Booking, scheduling, billing, and communication were always seamless, and we never ran into a single issue. On our wedding day, Toan and his team made us feel completely at ease during one of the biggest and most emotional days of our lives. They were calm, organized, and knew exactly how to keep everything running smoothly while capturing every special moment. His craftsmanship is worth every penny. After working with him, we completely understand why he's so highly rated throughout the Bay Area. If you're considering Toan Photography, don't hesitate--you'll be investing in an amazing experience and memories you'll cherish forever. Thank you, Toan and your team, for exceeding every expectation!

At every stage of the process, Laszlo's excitement about the "big day" was palpable. Prior to our wedding, he visited Nestldown in order to get a sense of the place and the kind of lighting conditions he'd encounter. He met with us to discuss any questions we had and, more importantly, to raise questions we hadn't thought of. It felt really good to know we were working with someone who cared deeply about the quality of his work, and who was genuinely excited about it. This passion really came through in the photos he sent us after the wedding. Not only were his posed shots of us and our family beautiful, and his action shots of the party "electric," but he also took some very interesting and thoughtful photos of more fleeting, quite moments. My husband and I were also very impressed with Laszlo's technical skill. Our wedding day was on an afternoon in February and he had a very limited amount of time and light to get our planned family photos. Laszlo worked efficiently but at the same time, he was courteous and sensitive to our guests' experience -- no one felt "rushed" by the photographer. Similarly, during the reception, Laszlo blended in very well, getting great candid shots while maintaining a low profile. For his professionalism, artistry, and warmth, we highly recommend Laszlo as a wedding photographer.

At the time, my son was 3 1/2 and we had never had professional portraits done of him or our family. I wanted to do them, but every time I spoke with a photographer, he or she mentioned taking pictures in a studio with artificial light and faux backdrops. Ugh - I am not a fan of cheesy studio pics. So I'd never gotten around to family photos. When I saw this photographer taking pictures of a family in a natural setting, I knew that was what I wanted. Having some chutzpah, I approached and asked for a card. I went home and looked up Barbara Bell online. Barbara Bell had no Yelp reviews at that time, but a beautiful portfolio. Done - hired. * Photography: 5 stars - I love her images shot in natural light. * Personality: 5 stars - Very pleasant during photo shoot and helpful when choosing which images to order. * Value: 4 stars - Like most professional photographers, the clients don't keep the negatives and buy the prints they like by selecting them online. * Communication: 3.5 stars - Hard to reach at times. We set up a photo shoot and met in the same park for about an hour. Our beloved dog was included (he *is* a family member after all). We had a fun and relaxed photo session; she was excellent with my son who hammed it up for her. The only downside was the inconvenience of not being able to reach her by phone. If you can't reach her, try email. We were extremely happy with the images she produced of our family. I would definitely hire Barbara again.

One of the things I loved about Barbara most was that she took action almost immediately, giving both Ru and I direction like a pro. She knew exactly what would look good on camera and what wouldn't. Fashion photography can be tricky because the details REALLY matter. For example, If a belt you're wearing shifts and never gets corrected, you won't have any usable photographs for that outfit as a whole. I told that to Barbara at the beginning of our shoot and she was very receptive to that advice, always making sure that I was adjusted the correctly. She was also very receptive to what I was looking for, constantly checking in and showing me the work she had done. I highly recommend Barbara. She's smart about her photography; she straddles that fine line of being receptive to your needs but also authoritative about her experience, beautifully. It also doesn't hurt that I had a ton of gorgeous photos to post to my blog (I've added one to the photos section).
