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. Beyond the portraits and formal shots, she captured the quiet glances, the spontaneous laughter, and all the small details that made our wedding day feel like ours. We can't recommend Jennifer highly enough!

I am truly grateful to know Amy and look forward to working with her on many more occasions for my business (Made to Measure Communications) and for any/all other photography needs. Cheers, Amy!

We worked with Alina by sharing our preferred photo spots and some inspo photos to communicate a "vibe" we liked. Alina offered some great new ideas, too. On the wedding day, Alina managed to capture the magic of all the details -- candid shots of our friends and family, snapshots of the venue and florals, and more. We had such a blast looking at the album; it was like reliving the day! The true joy, however, was sharing our photos with our family. They shared that the pictures were show-stopping and have repeatedly asked for prints for themselves! (Lots of, "and your photographer was just incredible, truly.") They cannot believe how spectacular our photos turned out, and we have to agree. Our jaws were on the floor looking through the album! Shooting with Alina was comfortable, too. She is such a sweet soul and I only hope I have a chance to work with her again in the future! Thanks, Alina, for capturing our special day -- so glad we can return to these pictures to remember it!

I rarely like photos of myself but loved the finished product! It was incredible that such a brief, easy 30-min session (and one booked last minute besides!) could yield so many amazing shots (that were delivered within days! I did the rush option). Not only were the photos spectacular, Hilary was also just truly such a joy to be around during the shoot - can't wait to recommend her to everyone I know looking for a photographer!!

We've had annual family photo sessions with Hilary for the past five years (and even two sessions…read morein one year!), and she has been phenomenal every single time. She's wonderful with our kids--whether it was a newborn, a fussy toddler, or now more cooperative school-aged kids, she's been able to capture beautiful moments through every stage. One year my younger daughter was especially shy and grumpy about photos, but you'd never know it from the gorgeous images Hilary delivered. She's also great with pets and even got our dog to "smile" at the camera for a few shots this year! We included my parents in a session one year, and Hilary handled the larger family group seamlessly. She also has a great eye for locations, whether it's a tried-and-true spot or somewhere new, and she always makes the most of the setting. On top of that, her pricing is very reasonable, especially since you get to keep all the images from your session, and she's always prompt with delivery. Hilary makes family photos stress-free and fun, and the results are consistently stunning--we look forward to working with her every year.

She sat…read moredown with us on more than one occasion to review the shots that we really wanted to get and has spent several hours helping us plan out album. She has a very laid back attitude when she is working an event, but at the same time is very proactive about reminding you about milestones in case you forget in the planning phase. She came with us on our venue walk through to plan where to do the portrait shots and we were able to really maximize our short time at the venue. She gets along great with other vendors and one thing that was extremely important to me, she stays out of the guests way. I hate going to weddings where all you can see during the ceremony is the photographer, and this definitely isn't the case with Andi. And did I mention that she takes great shots? She took some wonderful candid shots of family members that are normally extremely camera shy, which I will treasure forever. She does excellent work in color and black and white, for reasonable prices and gives you digital negatives to everything. Of all of my vendors who helped on my wedding, Andi was the best!

My wife and I were looking for someone with a photojournalistic approach and who could capture the emotion and details of the day. We first came across Andi's work on her website and immediately loved her style. Unlike other photographers we considered, Andi's work was consistent and we loved her entire wedding portfolios and not just a few great pics from many different weddings. Not only did we love Andi's work, but we also loved Andi's easy going personality and responsiveness. Since we were planning our Napa wedding from NYC, we appreciated her initiative in visiting our site prior to the wedding and even had ideas already for ceremony, family and couple pictures! Andi has a great eye and was successful in capturing intimate and beautiful moments. On our one year anniversary we returned to the site of our wedding to relive a bit of the dream but nothing provides us with the same emotional satisfaction as watching Andi's slide show. Thank you Andi for making our wedding more beautiful than we could have imagined.

Whether you need a photographer or videographer, you can not go wrong with Tim Williams. On a more personal note, it was also reassuring that he could so effortlessly handle a herculean weekend of two wedding ceremonies of different cultures and document them both exquisitely. His eye for detail, collaboration with our photographer, and ability to meld into the celebratory fabric resulted in a superb experience and keepsake. Also, it's worth mentioning that Tim can film and light different skin tones beautifully. Bonus: my wife and I now listen constantly to the song he chose for our wedding video soundtrack. I cannot recommend Tim enough. We never doubted our choice for a second.
