I actually found Jennifer after searching online for photographers in San Francisco and her work immediately stood out. Her style felt fresh and unconventional -- more documentary and journalistic than traditional -- and I especially loved her use of black and white photography, which was a big reason we chose her. The day started at our hotel, where she jumped between our separate rooms to capture my wife and me getting ready. Before she had even gotten to our rooms, she had already scouted the perfect location for our first look. The moment was absolutely incredible, and she handled everything; we didn't have to do a thing but follow her lead. That professional confidence continued at City Hall. She has a masterful familiarity with the building. She took full control of the shoot, guiding us as she told us exactly where to stand, how to pose, and where to move next so we could just relax and enjoy the moment. As a photographer myself, I really appreciated her confidence and professionalism. All we had to do was follow instructions and be present. She knows San Francisco City Hall inside and out -- the lighting, the angles, the timing, and the key locations that truly matter -- every shot felt deliberate and it showed. The technical skill here is top-notch-- the compositions were beautiful, the balance of each frame was spot-on, and her gorgeous color grading. We received around 300 images, and the quality is so consistent that I plan to print every last one of them in large format to ensure we have a permanent physical archive. When we received the final package, we were so touched -- she sent our photos on a beautiful USB drive along with printed images, some sweets, and other thoughtful details. It was the perfect finishing touch to a genuinely wonderful experience. If you're getting married at City Hall -- or anywhere in San Francisco -- Jennifer Michelson / A Girl and a Camera is exceptional. Thank you Jennifer! Laura and Junior.

They were professional, attentive, and so easy to have around on such an important day. What we absolutely loved was Jennifer's eye for the little moments.

We can't recommend Jennifer highly enough!

We had the pleasure of working with Eric for our wedding photos at SF City Hall, and we couldn't be…read morehappier with the entire experience. From the very beginning, Eric was incredibly responsive and helpful. Even before our shoot, he shared great tips and answered all our questions, which made us feel confident and excited going into the day. On the day of our wedding, Eric showed up early and was extremely professional. His talent and vision were clear right away. My husband and I aren't the most experienced when it comes to posing, but Eric guided us through everything so naturally. One of the best parts? The turnaround time. He sent us a sneak peek of the photos just a few hours after the shoot -- and they already looked amazing! By the next day, he sent over all the unedited photos so we could choose our favorites. The final edits came back in just a week, and you could tell he put a lot of time and effort into each image. If you're looking for a talented, professional, and genuinely kind photographer, I highly recommend Eric. He captured our special day beautifully and made the whole process easy and enjoyable!

If you are in search of a wedding photographer, look no further - Augie is your person! Augie was recommended to us by our venue (Casa Real) and from our first call we knew that we wanted to work with him. He's very professional, experienced, and someone you can trust to guide you throughout the process. We booked both our engagement session and wedding day coverage with Augie. During our engagement shoot, Augie brought great energy and made both of us feel completely at ease. Neither of us are naturally photo people, but he guided us effortlessly and helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera. And we loved our engagement photos! Augie was wonderful during our wedding day. Everything moves so fast and can feel overwhelming, but Augie was organized and efficient and kept us on schedule. He got us through what felt like endless permutations of family and group photos in record time, all while keeping things calm and stress-free. You can tell he's very experienced and knows how to navigate a busy wedding day. His candid style is exactly what we were looking for. Our photos feel authentic, emotional, and true to the moment. He also captured so many of the small, meaningful moments - like getting ready with my bridesmaids - so beautifully. Those are some of our favorite photos. He shared teaser photos with us right after our wedding, and it was such a treat to be able to see the photos so quickly and relive our day. We absolutely love our wedding photos and know we'll cherish them for the rest of our lives. We truly could not have asked for a better photographer to document our special day. Thank you Augie - we hope our paths cross again soon!

Augie is a kind, calming, and professional presence for kids and adults alike, putting everyone at ease. It may seem like photography sessions that feel candid would result in mediocre results, but somehow he always gets amazing shots.

I've been impressed every time, and look forward to future family portraits!

After seeing his profile, we knew that we wanted him to capture our big day. He was professional and responded to emails quickly. He was also very fun to work with too. All my families and bridal and groomsmen parties had amazing experience with him. We are generally camera shy but his upbeat energy made us so comfortable. He guided us on exactly how and where to pose for photos. He was so nice, funny, and patient. Toan made sure that not only did we have time for photos with family, friends, and bridal/groomsen, but also time for the couple photos too. His expertise and professionalism made such a positive impact on our wedding experience. We ended up going for 2 photographers and his price for 2 photographers was very reasonable. His assistance Hai also did amazing work. We were so happy we made this decision for 2 photographers. We only had 2 hours for photos with our parties before ceremony time and having 2 photographers made a HUGE difference as one could focus on the bride and bridesmaid and the other on the groom and groomsmen. Thank you again Toan and Hai for your incredible work in capturing one of the most important days of our life on June 28, 2026. You both captured special moments throughout our wedding that now we can look back and relive them. I highly recommend ToanVen and his team for photography service, you will not regret it.

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!!
