Danielle, you're amazing! Thank you!

Highly recommend. Thanks again, Todd!

The only reason I didn't provide 5 stars is that she seemed impatient and exasperated when I asked her to retake the digital photo just once. It did not feel warm or welcoming, but she got the job done. Maybe she had other things on her mind that day. They have a large selection of frames as well if you're in urgent need for that.

Looking for a wedding photographer?? Look no further, and just contact Anna!…read more We absolutely loved all the photos that she captured for our special day at The Gardens at Heather Farm. 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!

If I could give Anna more than 5 stars I would because she deserves it!…read more We worked with Anna to do our engagement photos and for the day of our wedding. For the engagement photos, this was back in November 2023. She was already there when we arrived. Zach and I both felt so awkward and nervous since this was our first photo shoot, but Anna worked her magic and did her best to help us relax for the entire session. She's also a dog person so I was overjoyed that our dog was able to join us in these photos. After we saw the amazing engagement photos, I knew I had to secure her for our wedding day. Her response time is great as well; she will let you know when she is out of town and how long/when to expect a response from her. Our wedding was in mid-July 2024. Anna was there early again to scope out the wedding venue and checked in with both Zach and I the entire event. When I was having trouble walking in my dress, she was quick on her feet to help me. We had a long list of photos we wanted with family and she was able to organize everyone in a timely fashion. We only saw a snippet of the wedding photos, but I already know that the rest will turn out wonderfully. Anna is super friendly, approachable and such a sweet and kind person. She has a professional demeanor that is also very open, honest and fun. Working with her both times has been a wonderful experience. I highly recommend Anna for anyone that wants their special moments captured. I look forward to working with her in possible future photo shoots :) Thank you so much Anna! You are amazing!!

She worked almost 14 hours on our wedding day and was all smiles the entire time! We just got all 1273 photos and we absolutely LOVE them! Couldn't be happier with the final product. Her work is truly impressive! The hard part now is choosing which pictures to blow up...there are TOO many favorites! Thanks Jaimie for all your hard work! Looking forward to using you again soon :)

And, while I paid via mailed check they have an easy online payment system. I hired VR Squad to do the DJ/sound, uplighting, and Event Photography for my company's Corporate Annual Holiday Party. I like how they're a "one stop shop", when previously I've had to hire multiple different vendors to do all of these services. I like how fast they are to respond. It is clear that they do many similar events, and I would have to give them bonus points for already having worked at our event venue, because they instantly knew what equipment to bring and the room layout. Can't wait to see how the event turns out!

The night felt like a blur and seemed so short but because of having the VR Squad Photo Booth there, we'll always have the photos to look back on! I definitely recommend using any of their services and if or when we decide to do another event, they will be on the top of my list!! ****THANK YOU to everyone at VR Squad!!!!!

I can not say enough good things about Jennifer Jacobson Photography. My husband and I searched…read morehigh and low in the bay area for a photographer who could meet our desired standards. We were amazed at the impressive images on Jen's website and couldn't wait for her to photograph our children. We have done 3 sessions with Jen (a newborn session with our son and then again with our daughter, and most recently a toddler session with both kids). Each time I receive the pictures from the shoot, my breath is absolutely taken away by the beauty and simplicity of the images. She manages to capture not only my children's darling faces, but their little personalities as well. The natural smiles, the long eyelashes, the rascally looks....all of the things you could never capture in a forced, posed, photograph. Her editing and lighting are delicious as well. With my daughter, we were privileged to have Jen come to the hospital just hours after I had given birth. Even in that sterile setting, she was able to capture the quiet beauty of our new baby girl meeting the world, and us for the first time. I will always treasure those images, even the ones I thought I would hate because of my "I just gave birth" appearance. We could not have made a better choice in asking her to come to the hospital. In our most recent shoot, Jen was able to get our highly energetic 5 year old to just be himself, rather then shooting a forced "cheese" smile every time he looked at her. And, to my surprise, she somehow managed to capture images of the sibling bond that is just beginning to form in our little ones. If you are on the fence about hiring a photographer in the bay area, my advice is to STOP hesitating and call Jen TODAY! You will NOT regret your investment and your decision to invite such a talented artist to capture your family naturally and beautifully! Thanks again Jen! We'll be calling you again in the future! =)

I have booked with Eversnap twice already (and about to book again). I started hosting murder…read moremystery parties for my birthday two years ago and found Eversnap online. Both photographers were very quick in providing the edited photos, and I have had a great experience both times. In 2018, my photographer was Ross, and right off the bat, he's good at communicating with me (especially since I had booked about three months in advanced). He was prompt and very professional. He was very good in balancing out candid and posed shots. Even though I was the birthday girl and had the most shots, he was really good with making sure every guest I had were represented enough in the photos (I had less than 20 guests). What I especially liked about Ross was there wasn't a lot of idle time, and he was really good with taking every opportunity and catching the right moments. In 2019, my photographer was Madeline. She was great as well, especially with balancing out candid with posed shots. Her photos were very well edited and she got to capture a lot of awesome moments! My only tiny complaint about her is that in comparison to Ross, she seemed to take a lot less photos and spent plenty of times just sitting there. For comparison, Ross gave me about 230 photos, while Madeline only gave about 170. Regardless, her photos were great, so I can't complain much haha. I will continue to use Eversnap in any events I host because it's super easy to use. I also like the flexibility of paying 50% of the price upfront, and 50% after the event.
